Case Report: Integrating CBT, hypnosis-based consciousness activation techniques, and yoga-based postural training: a three-pillar approach used for migrant populations
To introduce a three-pillar psychotherapeutic model tailored for migrant populations facing emotional dysregulation and limited access to mental healthcare.
Approach:
Three-Pillar Model: Combines cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis techniques for consciousness activation, and yoga-based postural training.
Intervention Formats: Includes a five-session psychotherapy focusing on emotional identification and a single-session 'One-Shot Concentration Group' integrating mindful breathing and body-mind postures.
Key Findings:
Preliminary clinical observations show immediate benefits such as increased attentional flexibility, reduced physiological tension, and enhanced mental calmness.
Long-term effects reported by patients and clinicians include improvements in sleep, concentration, memory, and decreases in anxiety, depressive symptoms, and dissociative episodes.
These findings support the feasibility and acceptability of this three-pillar model in settings involving migrant patients facing multiple vulnerabilities.
Interpretation:
The model emphasizes present-moment emotional identification and addresses emotions as perceptual signals enabling flexible behavioral adaptation.
Longer initial prescriptions, use of multiple benzodiazepines, and long-acting agents were associated with delayed discontinuation in a retrospective population-based cohort study.
