On World Digestive Health Day, we recognize the millions worldwide who suffer from digestive-related illnesses and disorders. More often than not, many who suffer from digestive issues have something called a DGBI (Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction), which millions suffer from. Fortunately, treatments exist targeting these disorders; GI Psychology is a behavioral health practice specializing in gut-brain therapies and has brought relief to patients suffering from these disorders.
Based in Burke, VA, Dr. Navidi, the co-founder of GI Psychology, has spent the last decade working with patients with digestive health issues. Dr. Navidi and his team at GI Psychology have a proven record of success using a unique treatment methodology that blends Clinical Hypnosis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The American College of Gastroenterology has approved this approach, bolstering hundreds of studies and research findings over the last 30 years.
Currently, awareness and confidence in CBT and clinical hypnosis as treatment options for gut-brain disorders are still growing. However, integrating these therapies into standard care protocols can transform the treatment landscape for patients suffering from these challenging and often debilitating conditions.
If you’ve been struggling with digestive issues, consider looking into gut-directed behavioral treatments as an adjunct solution. It’s time to address the psychological underpinnings of your GI symptoms. GI Psychology specializes in treating children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of GI disorders, chronic pain, and other medically complicated conditions. Through comprehensive group and individual telehealth services, patients can access highly trained gut-brain therapists from the comfort of their homes.
