The Role of Clinical Hypnosis & VR in Special Education

Abstract

Clinical hypnosis is becoming increasingly recognized as a valuable clinical intervention for a wide range of psychological and medical problems. The current review paper seeks to determine the role of clinical hypnosis in learning difficulties, emotional or behavioral problems and physical disabilities. In addition, we co-examine the effectiveness of virtual/augmented reality hypnosis. Finally, we discuss the possible uses of clinical hypnosis within the educational settings. The results showed that hypnosis may hold the keys for new types of metacognitive strategies based on non-verbal pathways of effortless self-regulation.

The Role of Mobile Games and Environmental Factors in Improving Learning and Metacognitive Potential of Young Students

“…The use of these technologies, which include mobile devices [92][93], a range of ICT apps [94][95], and especially games [96], facilitates and improves educational processes, including evaluation, intervention, and learning. In addition, the use of ICTs, theories and models of metacognition, mindfulness, meditation, and the development of emotional intelligence [97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108], speed up and improve even more educational practices and outcomes, particularly for the learning potential of young students.…”

Clinical Hypnosis & VR, Subconscious Restructuring- Brain Rewiring & the Entanglement with the 8 Pillars of Metacognition X 8 Layers of Consciousness X 8 Intelligences

“…Clinical hypnosis has the potential to resolve conflicts and prevent self-sabotage through subconscious reformatting. It could also play a significant role in the future education facilitating unlearning and relearning though the activation of the non-verbal pathways of effortless self-regulation [64]. Virtual reality hypnosis is a promising technology and could play a significant role in future metacognitive training.…”

Metamemory: Metacognitive Strategies for Improved Memory Operations and the Role of VR and Mobiles

“…We conclude that the integration of digital technologies is quite effective and rewarding and promotes educational procedures through the use of mobile devices, different ICTs applications, and games. In addition, the blending of ICTs with metacognition theories and models, mindfulness, meditation, and emotional intelligence theories as well as with the knowledge about the role of environmental factors and nutrition advances and boosts memory abilities [ 14 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 68 , 81 , 84 , 85 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 ].…”

“…Hypnotic techniques can also achieve memory restructuring, activating previous unhelpful memories, modifying them through hypnotic suggestions, and reconsolidating them. Hypnosis techniques can also help people to retrieve forgotten but not lost memories [ 84 , 85 , 86 ].…”
