Mustaqim said professional psychotherapists in the fields of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) as well as certified clinical hypnotherapists in Malaysia should extend their help in grief management to the affected family members. He said his experience in handling various mental and emotional problems among Malaysians using the NLP technique and hypnotherapy yielded positive results in improving a person's emotions, thoughts and behaviour.
"In the case of MH370, there is a need to employ hypnotherapy to help them calm down mentally and emotionally. The method has been proven to help treat those experience traumatic stress, phobias, fear of flying or entering elevators, fear of heights and depression", he said.
Malaysian Ministry approve use of hypnotherapy
The Traditional and Complementary Medicine Divison of the Ministry of Health in Malaysia has also recognised the use of hypnotherapy techniques as one of the holistic methods of health treatment for the mind, body and soul.
The method allows focus for interaction between a person's mind, body and behaviour as it is believed that the emotional, mental, social and spiritual condition of a person can directly affect their health.
