• How could biofeedback or hypnosis help with your issue?
• Biofeedback and hypnosis can be either conscious or unconscious experiences. Would there be a different brain function involved or would it be the same in each instance?
• Where could you go to find a biofeedback clinician or a hypnotist? What type of clinician would do biofeedback in their practice? What type of clinician would do hypnosis in their practice?
• Would you personally be willing to consider hypnosis and/or biofeedback as a treatment option? Would your insurance cover it? What kind of information would you need before you made a decision to use one or both of these techniques?
