Light at the End of the Tunnel For Millions Living With IBS
November 5, 2004 - Michael Ellner is the recipient of the prestigious "Pen and Quill" Award for his new textbook for Hypnosis Practitioners: QUANTUM FOCUSING with CLIENTS - A Ten-Week Protocol for Relieving Symptoms of IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome, co-written with Alan Barsky. The Award was presented at the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA) 18th Annual Hypnosis Conference.
Hypnosis has been scientifically demonstrated to be helpful in reducing the symptoms of IBS and can improve the quality of life for the estimated 57 million Americans now living with this expensive, painful and very embarrassing condition.
Ellner, an internationally acclaimed hypnosis practitioner and educator, and Barsky, a highly respected hypnosis practitioner in his own right, have developed a Protocol that is designed to help people learn creative, new ways to manage and regulate their bodies' reactions to stress. According to Ellner, "There is light at the end of the tunnel for the tens of millions of people living with IBS. This simple 10-week protocol is designed to help people take charge of their lives and their health."
QUANTUM FOCUSING with Clients teaches Hypnosis Professionals how to help their clients untie the knots in their stomachs. Quantum Focusing is a technique for quieting the mind, developing coping skills and maximizing imagery, which was developed by Ellner and illuminated in his earlier award-winning book Quantum Focus: The Quick, Mind-Powered Total Program for Self-Development, Healing and Happiness, co-written with Richard Jamison, PhD.
The International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association is a referral service for medical professionals and health care consumers seeking highly trained and certified Medical Hypnotherapists. Anne Spencer, PhD, Founder and Director of the IMDHA says, "Ellner and Barsky's new book is timely and well articulated for immediate use by the therapist, and is a must for any Hypnotherapist's Library."
Michael Ellner and Alan Barksy are currently organizing QUANTUM FOCUSING Certification Trainings for hypnotists in the U.S. and abroad.
