Cognitive Behavioral Therapy A method of replacing inner thoughts and dialogue that may be irrational or that contribute to distress (e.g., depression, anxiety, pain) with a revised, healthier script and frame of reference Biofeedback A system of externally generated signals that measure some aspect of physiology (e.g., thermal biofeedback, muscle tension biofeedback, galvanic skin response to sweating) Hypnosis The use of aroused, attentive, focused concentration and relative suspension of peripheral awareness to create opportunities for suggestion Psychoeducational (we do already!) Combined with other biobehavioral strategies, these methods help patients become more informed about their disease and how to manage it with improved self-efficacy
