Psychological Therapies

Many people with IBS explore psychological approaches, such as hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, to deal with stress related to their condition and anxiety that could be contributing to their symptoms. There is evidence that these techniques may be beneficial, even for people with IBS who aren’t experiencing overt stress or anxiety, and because these modalities aren’t invasive or harmful, you might find it valuable to look into them.
