Patsy Cain of Unfolding Minds

Are you someone who feels trapped by their own body? Have you received a diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? If so, you may be familiar with unpredictable stomach pain, bloating, cramping and irregular bowel habits. This can lead to feelings of embarrassment, anxiety, frustration and, in some cases, isolation. It can interfere with daily life, work or social plans. Many can feel on edge, worrying about when the next flare-up will happen or even toilet-mapping when they do manage to venture out. Well, you are not alone and may be surprised to learn that 1 in 10 people suffer with this condition, affecting predominantly women. So, if you would like to return to a life where you can start controlling your IBS rather than it controlling you, then why not explore gut-directed therapy. This NICE-recommended and scientifically-researched specialist 6-12 session protocol works with the mind and body to promote feelings of calm and control within the gut. It works by essentially lowering anxiety levels so you no longer think about triggers and get on with living your best life instead. You will learn tried and tested techniques to promote confidence, control, manage pain, bloating and develop regular bowel habits. I have specialist experience in using a combination of therapies namely: Solution Focused Therapy, NLP, CBT, Mindfulness and hypnosis. These well researched therapies can additionally be applied to provide relief and increase confidence and calm for people suffering with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, CFS, painful bladder syndrome and more.
