This is my first week using Nerva Hypnosis. I started with doubts, having spent my whole life coping with IBS-D and searching for relief. I am an 84 year old retired trauma Informed mental health counselor. I am also a complex trauma survivor. During this first week I am noticing subtle changes in my conscious awareness of tension in my body and in my outlook on life. I am using breath many times during the day to relieve tension. I am also feeling a fragile sense of hope that I could feel better living with this body for the rest of my life❣️ I have been using NERVA hypnosis and breathing techniques for more than a year now. It has been a very challenging year for me at 85 and 1/2 years of age….many losses including my home and most of my belongings in Hurricane Helene. I use a hypnosis session every morning as my body awakens to tension and bowel activity. I seldom have explosive diarrhea anymore and for the first time in my life that I can remember, I experience regular formed bowel movements. I still have IBS symptoms during the day but am able to reassure myself that they are not a dangerous illness. Then I am able to cope with the symptoms with breathing and go on with my day. Eating is still a challenge as many foods in the USA exacerbate my symptoms. I have been using a plant based nutritional supplement from a company in California called Kate Farms which has helped me maintain my weight and soothes my digestive system. I am so grateful to have Nerva hypnosis sessions always available to help me cope with stress and anxiety in my everyday life. I can imagine using them also to ease my way through the dying process when that occurs for me. Thankyou NERVA❣️

Doing the Nerva program has helped me relax and manage IBS symptoms.
This is a very relaxing, informative and well designed program. I would recommend it to everyone.

I’m into the second week of this program and I am noticeably calmer, with less GI problems. I’ve been on the low FODMAP diet for almost 6 years. It has helped me immensely, by reducing my IBS symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Because of the success I have had with the low FODMAP diet, I totally trust Monash University, where the diet was developed. Knowing that Nerva was developed by the same people, I was very interested in what else they have come up with. This program is educating me about the fact that there is a level of healing possible beyond where I have gotten to with the diet. I am understanding that the essential issue is a hypersensitivity of my brain - gut nervous system, and that can be calmed with hypnotherapy and diaphragmatic deep breathing. The hypnotherapy sessions are 15 minutes long, and there is a new one every day. There are short things to read every day, to increase my understanding of what is possible. There is excellent email support. The 7 day free trial allowed me to check it out adequately before paying. I have a clear feeling now that I will be a new person by the end of the 6 week program. I am so grateful that this came to me on my Instagram feed! I am now four months out from when I began the program. I am finding that I still need to do the hypnotherapy sessions at least a few times a week in order to maintain a pain free gut. After all, I have had IBS symptoms for about 70 years, so I understand that a little ongoing support in relaxation is needed. Again, I am grateful that this program is available and effective.
This program is really helping me with gut issues
