Biofeedback and Cognitive Therapy

Both Dr Kokayi and Faybiene comment on Barack Obama becoming president elect with Dr Kokayi bringing up questions around the depth of change needed, particularly as it relates to health care and what people want and need. The subject of mental health is approached from the standpoint of the Four Pole Model of mechanism, biochemistry, energetics and spirit as the blueprint for understanding all diseases, diagnostic tools and therapy. The spirit/consciousness component of disease and therapy is highlighted with a look at how techniques like cognitive therapy and biofeedback can help people break out of states of mind that are causing and perpetuating disease states whether the resulting problem is called hypertension or anxiety. The guests, Benita Wilson a psychotherapist and biofeedback specialist and Dr Aminah Dean, naturopath and bio energetic healer, both working at the Kokayi Center, dialogue with Dr Kokayi about techniques to address the nonphysical roots of illness.
