I like to be eclectic in my choice of treatment. Even though I confessed my love for analysis and hypnosis, I choose what seems practical and promises success. Often it is a combination of the following:
- Teaching relaxation & self-hypnosis
- Hypnosis & EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Analytically-oriented psychotherapy including Ego-State Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Encouragement to live life in general wellness
- In the cases of children & teenagers, parental counseling
- Play therapy with children if indicated. However, as I want to be practical/economical/effective, I always involve parents in this process as they are with the child each day
