This paper aims to introduce a relatively novel approach for Hypnosis to treat Depersonalization-derealization Disorder (DPRD). Depersonalization is conceptualized as a disrupted interoceptive process disorder. Based on this conceptualization, Hypnotic intervention is tailored to counter the flawed process. It is exemplified by a case of a young man suffering from depersonalization disorder who couldn't bear looking at himself in the mirror. The hypnotic intervention used in this case is then explained by predictive coding theory.

Traditional biofeedback generally focuses on individual therapy that serves one of two purposes: (a) treating a functional health disorder that stems from an organic source or a mental disorder caused by high levels of stress or (b) improving performance. The author describes a therapy model that was developed based on biofeedback to treat interpersonal challenges such as parent–child relationships and spousal relationships. The author begins by describing the principles of the interpersonal biofeedback model and continues with practical examples.

Practicing mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion have in recent years become widely accepted as part of biofeedback therapy. Compassion, in particular, has a measurable physiological basis through the conventional HRV biofeedback instrumentation. The present article reviews the research basis for the integration of compassion in the treatment of biofeedback beyond the essential eclectic use of compassionate practices in biofeedback therapy. Also, it offers two ways of integrating compassion within biofeedback-based interventions.
