“…For example, breathing changes in response to pain, anxiety, panic, worry, joy, desire, and relief; conversely, breathing can be a driver of anxiety, panic, and relief, hyperventilation, and can sometimes even induce seizures (Grassmann, Vlemincx, von Leupoldt, Mittelstadt, & Van den Bergh, 2016;Indranada, Mullen, Duncan, Berlowitz, & Kanaan, 2018;Vlemincx et al, 2013;Vlemincx, Van Diest, & Van den Bergh, 2015). The ability of breathing to alter cognitive, emotional, and metabolic states offers important therapeutic opportunities as has long been recognized in Eastern Medicine (Draeger-Muenke & Muenke, 2012). While breathing techniques have become very popular for stress management and relaxation purposes, only recently has research started to investigate the potential of breathing techniques as therapeutic add-ons to standard treatment in Western Medicine (Russo, Santarelli, & O'Rourke, 2017).…”

Functional abdominal pain is a mind-body, psychosocial, and self-reinforcing experience with significant consequences for the sufferer and the surrounding support network. The occurrence of unpredictable symptoms and their severity add an element of dread and feeling out-of-control to daily life and often reduce overall functioning in a downward spiral. Two clinical presentations of functional abdominal pain are offered in this article (composites to protect confidentiality) dealing with abdominal pain syndrome and abdominal migraines. The treatment demonstrates the use of hypnotic principles for self-regulation, exploration, and meaning-making. Hypnosis treatment is conducted in combination with mindfulness-based interventions and Traditional Chinese Medicine's (TCM) teachings regarding abdominal health and illness. The clinical examples illustrate medical findings that suggest children with early life stress and an early onset of gastrointestinal somatization may not simply outgrow their functional abdominal pain but may suffer into adulthood.
