I am a practicing school psychologist in the Connecticut Public Schools. I primarily work with early childhood and elementary-aged students. My research focuses on the implementation of mind-body interventions to improve children and adolescents' mental health in public schools and in children's hospital settings. Current research interests also include: chronic disease, autism, pediatric psychology, health psychology, school nutrition, school lunch, and wellness. Contact: nilani.psych@pm.me
Self-Hypnosis Dissertation
Self-Hypnosis Dissertation
Self-hypnosis is a treatment that has been utilized to address the social-emotional concerns of adolescents with high levels of anxiety and stress. In this study, a multiple baseline design across three high school-aged participants was implemented to examine whether self-hypnosis could decrease symptoms of anxiety and stress and help to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The results of the study indicated that the treatment resulted in decreases in trait and state anxiety for two out of three participants, improvements in stress levels for two out of three participants, and improvements in HRQoL for all three participants. Participants reported that the treatment was feasible and appropriate. However, replication studies are needed to increase the internal and external validity of the current study.
