D
A person who has a strong fear of losing control, or who has experienced sensations of loss of control, may perceive meditation as a form of mind control and thus may be resistant to learning the technique. Some clients are sensitive to meditation and require shorter sessions than the typ-ical 15 to 20 minutes.
A benefit of most biobehavioural therapies, such as meditation, is that it reduces irritability. Ag-gression is an unlikely response.
Delusions are not a result of biobehavioural therapies.
Many biobehavioural therapies, such as meditation, reduce insomnia.
