Clinical hypnosis is used to treat physical and psychological problems. Hypnosis is a highly relaxed state in which the patient’s conscious and subconscious mind is focused and receptive to therapeutic suggestion. It is not exertion of one person’s will over another. It is a safe procedure and the relaxation experienced is pleasant and refreshing. The American Medical Association approved the use of hypnosis as a therapeutic technique in 1958.
Biofeedback is the technology of self –knowledge and self-regulation. It is a technique that uses equipment to reveal or “feed back” internal physiology in the form of visual images on a computer screen to help with regulating these internal events. Sensors are placed on the hands or body to read signs of tension and unbalance. Clients see the signals on the screen, become aware of their responses and learn to regulate their physiology to reduce stress and pain. It is a safe procedure during which one learns the skills to relax and feel in control.
Relaxation for Stress Management includes helpful tools for coping with stress and promoting long-term health by regulating the body's reactions and quieting the mind. Techniques include meditation, acupuncture, yoga, breathing exercises, hypnosis and others. When used regularly, these practices can lead to a healthier response to stress.
