Abstract

This case is illustrative of how hypnotic interventions can support cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). Specifically, academic stress triggered tension headaches in a university student are addressed via hypnotically supported CBT. The hypnotic interventions were of an ego strengthening nature and ranged from a basic form of self-hypnosis using the classic "dial" imagery to a more complex and clinician-guided approach to "age progression" to facilitate the mental rehearsal of problem-solving skills. Despite measurable treatment gains, the limitations of this brief and skill-building approach are examined from a psychodynamic perspective.
