A teen with an anxiety disorder is referred for biofeedback because the parents do not want their child to take anxiolytics. Which statement from the teen indicates successful learning?
a. "Biofeedback will help me with my thoughts and physiological responses to stress."
b. "Biofeedback will direct my energies in an intentional way when stressed."
c. "Biofeedback will allow me to manipulate my stressed out joints."
d. "Biofeedback will let me assess and redirect my energy fields."
ANS: A
By using electromechanical instruments, a person can receive information or feedback on his or her stress level. Having this knowledge allows the patient to develop awareness and voluntary control over his or her physiological symptoms. Biofeedback does not address energy fields; healing touch, reiki, and therapeutic touch are energy fields. Directing energies is therapeutic touch. Manipulation of body alignment and joints is done by a chiropractor.
