Nerva reviews

The approach is powerful and just the relaxation helps . My only wish for change is to remove the negatives, “ setbacks will not be detrimental to your health. “ The brain does not hear a negative, so I have to translate quickly “setbacks will pass swiftly, flowing freely over and away, allowing my body to continue to heal, and my mind to remain at peace.” For example. This is disruptive and unnecessary, but the overall program is otherwise excellent

I particularly resonated with the counting relaxation. I use counting on sleepless nights. Also the stones on the river is an imagery my mind can embrace. Visualization is a challenge for me. I seem to reference places I have visited then can branch off. All these meditations have been very helpful. It is hard for me to tell if I have been experiencing self-hypnosis. My four star review is in reference to my question about self hypnosis.

I’m really enjoying this app, it’s well set out and has good information in there. I wish all of the hypnotherapy tracks included a count down into relaxation as well as a count up out of it. It feels really good to have gut focused support and understanding

There is so much that I appreciate about this programme. It is very comprehensive, dealing with all aspects of IBS. The readings give lots of useful and often reassuring information. The hypnotherapy sessions were always very calming to listen to. I personally did not feel that I was fully hypnotised and because I suffer from chronic insomnia, there was a tendency to fall asleep regardless of the time of day I chose to listen. Very irritating to feel I was missing out! Some of the breathing/ relaxing exercises appealed to me more than others, as one would expect. I did find them a little repetitive. Above all, I must mention the brilliant customer support I received from Nerva staff. I cannot thank them enough. All in all, a very good experience. You know that Simone Peters and the other staff are really committed to helping you feel better.

I was desperate enough to try anything when I started this program, and I’m so happy to report that after completing the 6 weeks, I have experienced a marked improvement in my overall gut health/comfort. I’m also able to enjoy more flexibility in my diet, without suffering the uncomfortable “repercussions” I’ve become accustomed to over the years, in spite of religiously following every “gut based” eating program known to humanity.;) The reason I’m only giving it 4 stars, is because I do think some work could be done to improve the audio sessions. My profession has a large amount of overlap in hypnotherapy, meditation, CBT and other modalities touched on in this program, so perhaps my expectations are higher than most. However, I think some small tweaks to the language and delivery of the “hypnotherapy” (which is truly not hypnotherapy at all, but would fall closer to the category of guided meditation) could push this program over the top and make it even more impactful. That said, I experienced such benefit from dedicated, daily adherence to the readings, audio and breathing exercises, that I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this app/program to anyone struggling with IBS (or “IBS adjacent”) GI issues. I believe anyone suffering from any kind of stomach/GI discomfort could experience benefit from this program.

I have tried to cancel my subscription 3 times and Nerva is still trying to charge my card. I found the program helpful but can not afford the subscription. Please if someone is reading this can you look into why my card is still trying to be charged.

Had a good time using the app and I believe it helped me also. I’m a bit annoyed now as I paid another $100 for a 3 month subscription. As others, I didn’t realise that would happen. Be a bit clearer about it. I already had the app uninstalled and don’t use it anymore. A bitter byproduct to an otherwise good experience. I usually think people are responsible to thinking about unsubscribing but for some reason with you guys the whole model was unclear.

I don’t think it’s made a big difference in my IBS symptoms but has made a huge difference in my anxiety and stress around my symptoms and in general. Definitely worth paying for a few months but I don’t think I’ll renew when my initial subscription is up.

My phone never crashes but it’s crashed 4 times into me writing a long negative review for this app. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but that’s very suspicious. Feel like some key negative words might be doing the trick. Y’all in cahoots? It helps me but I can’t afford it anymore, as I’m sure many others can’t. They’re profiting off our sickness and desperation. An app this simple doesn't need to be $23 a month.

Early days for me but seeing improvement already. I had however experienced this treatment a few years ago with face to face sessions. They helped me a lot but my symptoms have gradually returned. This is more convenient & removes the obstacle of having to attend appointments which can be difficult when the very reason you are attending is making it impossible to attend!

I understand that the purpose of the hypnotherapy portion is to set the stage for one to accept suggestions to calm the autonomic nervous system. This helps to heal the gut. I find that, in addition, it can help with other anxiety-producing occurrences I face daily; “catastrophes". I have used a form of hypnotherapy for years as a sleep aid. These sessions help me sleep better. I am reading medical articles about hypnotherapy for the gut and also in sports.

I am one week in on Nerva app. I do think a lot of my issues stem from anxiety and stress- and sometimes just the stress of IBS or anxiety of a flare. I think this app is/can be helpful. My only complaint so far is wishing the sessions could be more tailored to C or D dominate, as I feel they are different.

A few days in and I’m really enjoying how relaxed this makes me feel, and how all of this seems to make sense intuitively and how it makes more sense than diet for me. Exercise is my trigger along with stress and anxiety, so learning more about it while trying to tackle the problem is going to be useful. I’ll upgrade to 5 stars if this proves to show a noticeable difference

I can’t speak highly enough of this program. I was very pleasantly surprised to notice a decrease in my symptoms from the very first time that I used it! It is so wonderful to feel better! I enjoyed the relaxing voice of the woman who lead the hypnosis as well. I loved the scenarios that were used and looked forward to listening to the program every day. I am so grateful and will also look into the Mindset program as well.
