P002 Mind Body Therapies as a Treatment Strategy in Dermatology: What is the Evidence?
DESCRIPTION
This isn’t just about skin. It’s about the stress that triggers it—and the emotional weight your patients carry every day. Acne, eczema, alopecia... they’re doing “everything right” and still not getting better. You’re doing everything you can, and still burning out. In this immersive and interactive session, we flip the script: from chasing symptoms to addressing the root cause. You’ll learn the science behind how chronic and traumatic stress impacts the skin—and then experience tools and techniques that help heal it with real-time stress relief. You’ll leave grounded, energized, and equipped with tools to regulate stress and support healing—yours and your patients’.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Describe the effects of chronic and traumatic stress on skin disease, including its contribution to inflammation and treatment resistance.
Recognize how dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system contributes to skin flares and emotional distress.
Demonstrate evidence-based mind-body practices that support patient healing and promote clinician well-being.
