Presented by Joseph F. Zastrow, MD, FAAFP

Joseph Zastrow, MD, FAAFP, is a medical doctor practicing in Eastern North Carolina.  He integrates clinical hypnosis in the practice of medicine and commonly uses clinical hypnosis to treat addictions and habit control, anxiety disorders, and conversion disorders.  He has served on many ASCH committees, and is a past president of ASCH as well as a past member of the ASCH Board of Trustees.  In addition to being an approved consultant, he has served on the education committee and taught at all ASCH levels.

This 12-hour conference will teach hypnotic techniques through cases from a family practice. It will be interactive, didactic, and technique oriented. Specific topics will include the treatment of needle phobia, IBS, smoking cessation, TMJ/atypical facial pain, hyperhidrosis, PTSD, pain control, Sjogren’s disease, acute burns, obstetric complication, and atypical headaches. Hypnotic techniques will be demonstrated and reinforced through the learner’s experience of the trance technique and when indicated practice. These techniques include age regression, a reverse cigarette technique, breathing technique, hypno- analysis through ideomotor signaling, energy acquisition, internal advisor, surgical preparation, and the use of suggestion creation with script building.

Didactic information will include studies regarding smoking cessation, psychoneuroimmunology as modulated through the gut biome, burn research data, obstetric care data, and neuroimaging associated with specific suggestion.
