Help for irritable bowel syndrome
A GENTLE AND EFFECTIVE HYPNOSIS PROTOCOL
FOR REDUCING AND MANAGING IBS SYMPTOMS
THE FIRST TIME I had an IBS attack I was 15 years old.
It was 1984. I was at Canobie Lake Amusement Park…
I was waiting in line for the roller coaster along with my boyfriend and his family. When out of nowhere the pain hit me. 💥
My heart raced, my upper lip was sweating, and I had an unexpected, non-negotiable, immediate need to use the bathroom NOW! I had to push past people, scramble out of line, BOLT to the bathroom, and strap myself to the toilet for the next two hours. 🎢 🫣 🚽
It was three years after my mother had been murdered. My whole life was turned upside down. I was stressed out, traumatized, and in a family that didn’t know how to talk about hard things.
My childhood was tough, the environment was tougher, and in order to survive - I had learned to “suck it up and stuff it down”.
After 3 more years of blinding pain, massive bloating and embarrassing, unpredictable, urgent trips to the bathroom (at the most inconvenient times)…
I was desperate for answers.
And while the doctor at the Boston University student health center could name what he “thought” was wrong with me - he wasn’t able to offer me any real help or hope.
He handed me a pamphlet and said, “It sounds like you have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Try to eat more fiber and lead a less stressful life.”
(Yeah, good luck with that, kid.) 🫤
Later, after going to a gastroenterologist, stripping down naked, being poked and prodded, and doing my best to choke down a cup of chalky barium liquid - so they could take x-rays of my “irritable” intestines - the Doctor gave me my official diagnosis.
He said, “There’s nothing physically ‘wrong’ with your digestive track. Looks like you have IBS.” 👀
And while it was good to have a name for what was happening inside of my body…
The medical doctors still didn’t know what caused IBS, how to cure IBS, or what the heck I could do to help myself.
So, I left with more questions than answers and once again was poorly instructed to… “Drink some psyillium fiber, eat more salads and try not to get stressed.”
It also felt like he was kinda’ insinuating that this “functional disorder” was somehow either my own fault or just “all in head”.
It wasn’t until 2001, when I first discovered the person who is now my “mentor”- that I started to feel some possibility of hope.
But before I had a mentor, I continued to experience debilitating physical symptoms, combined with overwhelming emotional fear and anxiety.
My “bathroom anxiety” started to get so bad, that at one point, I was afraid I might become housebound.
(I tell my longer in-depth, personal IBS story on my podcast: The Karen Kenney Show / EP252 - HELP FOR IBS
Fast forward 40 years…
Now, after reading so many books, going to expensive appointments, trying weird supplements, taking anti-spasmodic medication, doing wind-relieving exercises, testing alternative practices, changing my diet, and losing money to shiesty practitioners…
And after a shit-ton of suffering, strategizing, learning, researching, studying, training, certifications, education and first-hand lived experience…
I’m happy to report that I did eventually discover and still use, one of the best tried-and-true things that has made a significant difference for managing and reducing IBS symptoms!
And happily, it hasn’t just made just a difference for me, but for countless other IBS sufferers too.
The resource that I’m talking about is…

IBS TESTIMONIALS
COMING SOON!
“KK has an innate ability to get to the heart of an issue with amazing precision.
combined with a genuine interest in turning a perceived helpless situation
into an empowered and positive conclusion.”
I was drawn to working 1:1 with KK for a specific phobia, curiosity about negative thought loops, and also a desire to deepen and supplement my spiritual practices.
I was motivated to finally take action when I realized that what I was trying on my own was not yielding the desired results, and I was very intrigued about the Integrative Hypnosis aspect of the program.
