068: IBS Symptoms and Anxiety Reinforcement

Limiting and narrowing life down to manage anxiety and gut symptoms is a negative reinforcement that doesn't help you long term. If you let the anxiety determine your actions, you not only reinforce the anxiety, but also a lack of trust in self, a lack of capacity to cope and a lack of ability to self regulate.There's no growth in that.The only resolution is to expand life back out again. ___The Happy Inside Podcast is for you if you experience anxiety, stress, gut symptoms and disorders, IBS, IBD, SIBO, food intolerance, elimination diets, Low FODMAP dietary restrictions and chronic illness.Happy Inside attends to the psychological, emotional and behavioural aspects of gut disorders and chronic illness; old wounds, life misalignments, the fear, anxiety and stress around symptoms, the hypervigilence, the limitations, restrictions and impacts these are having on your life - all those conversations you’ve been waiting to have are happening right here. I hear you and you’re not alone. #gut #guthealth #sibo #ibs #gutdisorders #lowfodmap #ibd #stress #anxiety #chronicpain #chronicillness #autoimmunedisease #braingutconnection #psychology #nervoussystem #functionalmedicine #naturopath #mindbody #happyinside #gastroenterology #dietitian #psychology #nutritionist #microbiome #foodintolerance
