The digestive system is particularly sensitive to emotions.
Stress, anxiety, or inner tension can manifest as a «knotted» stomach, bloating, spasms, or persistent constipation. The gut is often referred to as our «second brain» because it contains a network of neurons directly connected to the central nervous system.
Hypnosis works specifically on this mind-body connection to
- Promotes a state of deep relaxation, reducing the effects of stress on the intestines and digestion.

Constipation in Children - Lucas and Constipation at School
Lucas had been suffering from constipation for years.
Ever since he was a little boy, he had found the school restrooms dirty and smelly, and had learned «to hold it in.» He had irregular bowel movements, bloating, and was frequently constipated.
During a hypnosis session, he worked on the deep relaxation of the abdomen through visualizations and exercises that promote fluidity and flexibility. This helps regulate digestion and reduce bloating. He also learned some self-hypnosis techniques to do before bed to reduce digestive anxiety.
And he came up with his own ways to use the restroom at school without feeling stressed.
