The Neuroscientific Basis of Hypnosis for Behavioral and Medical Conditions

Dr. Reid is the author of 2 books from which some of his teaching content is derived and for which he receives financial remuneration. There is a gap at the individual practitioner level in understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of hypnosis and its effect on the brain and body, and the translation of this knowledge to enhance clinical care. This workshop will blend didactic and experiential opportunities to evaluate the neurobiological underpinnings of hypnosis for anxiety disorders, PTSD, immune functioning, chronic pain syndromes, and brain?gut axis disorders. Gaining a better understanding of how hypnotic interventions modify neurobiology can be validated for clinicians and allow them to explain hypnotic phenomena more scientifically to their patients.
