Why is it important to do therapy for stomach Issues?
Because if we are having digestion issues, then treating our mental and emotional health, along with your medical treatments, can help improve your gut health and digestion!
The mind-gut connection (or “brain-gut” connection) is a two-way communication system between the brain and the digestive system
This means our thoughts, emotions, and stress affects digestion and our digestion affects our mood and emotional state
The gut has its own nervous system called the enteric nervous system, which means the gut has millions of nerve cells that are in contact with the brain
This is why the gut is often called the “second brain”
The brain and the gut are directly connected by the vagus nerve
What is the mind-gut connection?
