Gut Feelings: Clinical Hypnosis for Brain-Gut Interaction Disorders
Louis Damis, PhD, ABPP
Clinical hypnosis has reliably been found to produce both short- and long-term treatment benefits for functional gastrointestinal disorders (i.e., functional dyspepsia, functional abdominal pain, and irritable bowel syndrome). Moreover, as various physiological and autonomic nervous system variables have been found to contribute to these gastrointestinal disorders, they have more appropriately been labeled Brain-Gut Interaction Disorders. The workshop will review empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of various gut-directed clinical hypnosis strategies, possible mechanisms of action, and outline these techniques for participant use. Recent research will be presented on a polyvagal-based hypnotic intervention effective with brain-gut interaction disorders.
