Yoga, meditation, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, reflexology, spiritual healing, Shaitsu etc.

Yoga, meditation, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, reflexology, spiritual healing, Shaitsu etc.
I have no problems with any of these and would encourage those who think they might benefit to try them. Mental health is a vitally important and very neglected aspect of treatment, and essential to treatment success. All of these have been tried with varying degrees of success and it seems fair to say that different treatments work for different people. I have a few reservations about hypnotherapy, as it is technically possible to exploit vulnerable patients under hypnotherapy. It should never happen, but it would be wise to check the credentials of any alternative practicioner thoroughly, and particularly so with hypnotherapy.
General appraisal - Safe and often very effective in the hands of a good practicioner.
