Creating Reliably Effective Hypnosis Interventions for Chronic Physical Symptoms Online
Chronic physical symptoms that have already proven unresponsive to the usual medical treatment methods can present formidable challenges in healthcare. Clinical hypnosis offers unique techniques for addressing medically unresponsive symptoms, but for the best effects the clinician often has to apply treatment differently than in other hypnosis applications. In this webinar, Dr. Palsson will provide participants with a detailed overview of a specific structure and set of essential elements for hypnosis treatment that together produce high probability of improvement in chronic physical symptoms. The success of this specific approach has been consistently demonstrated in twelve published research studies on gastrointestinal disorders, including IBS, chronic abdominal pain, inflammatory bowel disease, functional dyspepsia and esophageal disorders, but the same framework is equally applicable to other chronic health problems, such as migraine and fibromyalgia. It involves the preparation of the client for treatment, formulating the hypnosis sessions to contain key principles and sequence of steps that maximize therapeutic impact, and crafting suggestions and metaphors that effectively target psychological and physiological processes that influence body symptoms.
