Structure of the Program

The IBS Audio Program 100™ is structured over a 100 day period, with a listening schedule for each day (including 20 days off).

The program consists of 3 CDs,  which contain an introduction and five different interlinking hypnotherapy sessions, each building on the preceding one.  The listening schedule tells you which session to listen to each day.  Also included is progress log / symptom check list and valuable irritable bowel syndrome information.

All that is required for participation is to find a time (approximately 25-35 minutes) each day when you can listen quietly and be undisturbed. Simply fit your listening time into your daily schedule at your own convenience

The entire program is now also available on MP3 downloads too with the Schedule available as a PDF download.

The IBS Audio Program 100 also includes a free bonus CD – IBS Companion – which provides a useful insight into the world of an IBS fufferer, aimed at non-sufferers that you come into contact with.

and bonus CD ‘The IBS Companion’ an informative recording for non-IBS sufferers,

The commentary introduction and five therapeutic sessions found in the program are as follows:

Commentary Introduction

Provides detailed information about hypnotherapy, the specific process being used for the audio treatments, and irritable bowel syndrome information.
 
Acknowledges the physical and psychological combination that characterizes IBS pathology, triggers, and symptoms.

Aims to treat both IBS and the problems in a person’s life that have resulted from IBS, including anxiety, social fears, depression, fatigue, worry.
 
Sets a stopping point for the emotional drain of IBS; effectively saying ‘this is as bad as it gets’ from this point on IBS symptoms will not progress, as the listener learns and works to improve their understanding and control of mind and body.

Subconscious begins to be affected and physical changes will follow.

Emphasis on the safe, gentle, non-invasive aspects of IBS therapy and its record as a safe form of IBS treatment for many conditions for many years.

First Session

The foundation session. Allows listeners to take the time to reduce their stresses and apprehensions, and to become familiar with the hypnotherapy process, and to re-learn that they are in control at all times.

Offers a gentle introduction to reduce anxieties and emphasise calming thoughts, thus reducing the negative thought patterns which trigger IBS physical responses.

Helps manage IBS symptoms and let users begin to understand the benefits of allowing both mind and body to work together towards their goal.

Second Session

Begins to address the subconscious and conscious thoughts which can trigger IBS symptoms.

Teaches users, through creative imagery, to exercise control over these thoughts.

Uses the power of suggestion to enable listeners to learn to control the speed of peristaltic waves of the GI tract, leading to normal bowel movements.

Uses the mind to regulate the body.

Third Session

Uses visualisation to control the entire digestive process, from start to finish.
 
Begins to allow the user to take control and mentally search for areas within the GI tract where there is IBS pain or discomfort, and then reduce these symptoms while continuing to use positive thoughts.

Negative thoughts decreasing and are replaced by positive thoughts, which will help develop new coping strategies.

Fourth Session

Uses metaphor to help view the journey through IBS as a trip that is nearing an end.

Acknowledges struggles of the past, the many steps the journey has required, and that while there may be a step back occasionally the progression forward will remain.

Acknowledges old thought patterns and allows them to be released; enhances positive thought patterns to achieve continued
improvement.

Emphasises that while memories of old thought patterns may remain, we don’t live in the past. We live in the moment. From this
moment on IBS will steadily improve, a sense of order has been reached, and progress will now continue on its own.

Fifth Session

Encapsulates positive moments from the five previous sections of the program.

Reaffirms the effects of the program.

Listeners are encouraged to review this session occasionally after the program ends to optimize their positive changes.

Content and listening order of the sessions are both important. The IBS Audio Program 100 gives the IBS sufferer the structure necessary to allow a progression to the ending of many of presenting IBS symptoms in their lives.

After the program is concluded, patients are encouraged to listen to the final session for an additional period of time to ensure the learned processes are embedded into their subconscious.

The program is successful for the majority of users in reducing or even eliminating the presenting symptoms altogether and often also leads to a reduction in the severity of presenting.
