Hypnosis for GI Issues: An Integrative Approach

In this 3 hour presentation, Dr Weisberg will discuss essentials of applying clinical hypnosis in the treatment of GI issues, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), GERD/Reflux, and Inflammatory Bowel conditions such as Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis. Participants will learn how concepts of Autonomic Dysregulation and Central Sensitization are vital to the understanding and treatment of these conditions. We will also discuss the category of Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI). Specific hypnotic techniques for treating GI conditions will be discussed.
