Neurobiological Restructuring

Techniques:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (Sharpiro, 2001)^[1])
• Biofeedback (Gevirtz, 2003^[2]; Moss, 1999^[3]; Moss & Andrasik, 2008^[4])
• Hypnosis (Barbasz & Watkins, 2005^[5])
• Indirect forms of Hypnosis
• Heart Rhythm Variability (McCraty & Tomasino, 2006^[6])
• Open focus technique (Fehmi, L. & Robbins, J., 2007^[7])
• Mindfullness training (
• Relaxation training (Benson, 1979^[8]; Benson, 2000^[9])
• Diaphragmatic breathing
