NYC Hypnosis & EMDR To Treat Maladaptive Habits Integrative Mental Health Update

Jan 25, 2024

NY Health Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy (646-537-1713) announces an update to its integrative eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy for bad habits, such as nail biting, skin picking, and hair pulling.

Leading the updated services are Dr. Rebecca Hoffenberg and Dr. Kimberly Fishbach, clinical psychologists specializing in EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy. The pair is known for using a variety of integrative methods to treat a wide range of habits and improve the quality of life of their clients.

The updated services support recent studies published in The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis that state that combining hypnosis and EMDR may offer significant therapeutic benefits for those with maladaptive habits due to psychological trauma. Unlike conscious behaviors, such as smoking or drinking, unwanted habits are often symptoms of a larger issue.

Integrative approaches address the underlying anxiety so that clients learn to recognize and prevent these habits from occurring or recurring. They also learn to develop healthier coping methods during times of stress. The team writes, “Unlike intentionally maladaptive behaviors such as smoking, those who engage in unwanted habits such as nail-biting or hair pulling often don’t realize they’re doing it until minutes into the act.”

Hypnosis may help clients become more aware of why they engage in these behaviors. Combined with CBT, they can then address the root cause of their anxiety, take the necessary steps to address it and create meaningful change at a subconscious level.

Drs. Hoffenberg and Fishbach explain that combining therapy with mindfulness techniques provides the most benefit for long-term recovery. To date, they have helped hundreds of clients reclaim their lives and live with confidence.

All hypnosis sessions rely on Ericksonian hypnosis, which taps into the part of the psyche that wants to change. Rather than being a passive recipient of the hypnotherapist's will, clients learn to become proactive masters of their thoughts.

A spokesperson for the group wrote, "Dr. Hoffenberg and Dr. Fishbach are experts at helping people eliminate unwanted, maladaptive habits. They work by using hypnosis to address the habit while using mindfulness and therapy to address any underlying problems such as anxiety or depression."
