Defining Psychosomatic Illness through Hypnosis

Medical care through the hypnotic lens provides a blurring of the lines between pyche and soma. This workshop will provide a didactic overview of this junction from a traditional allopathic provider viewpoint. A review of the neurobiologic, chemical messenger models, gut biome role and imaging studies will be highlighted. Clinical case examples will spotlight the hypnotic treatment of conditions once thought to be purely somatic by allopathic medicine. Time permitting there will be a demonstration of technique.
