Neal Martin Blackstein is a therapist who specializes in helping individuals achieve maximum emotional and physical well-being through personal mastery. His focus is both preventative and remedial. He teaches body self-regulation to reduce stress, control autonomic functions, eliminate self-defeating thoughts, behaviors, and habits, and enhance communication and coping skills. He uses three main modalities - Biofeedback, Hypnosis, and Psychotherapy. These may be used independently or in conjunction with each other, according to individual needs. Neal Martin Blackstein works with children, teenagers and adults. Hypnosis can help individuals effect profound and permanent emotional and behavioral changes. It can help people: - Stop smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, anxiety, and panic, overcome phobias, reduce pain, eliminate "bad" habits, build self-confidence, improve sports performance, increase motivation, improve concentration, study habits and memory and prepare mentally for surgery. Biofeedback training is a tool for learning relaxation and stress management skills. It facilitates self regulation through the use of sensitive instruments monitoring changes in the body processes which the trainee, in turn, learns to regulate. Both children and adults benefit from biofeedback training. LENS is another special modality we use.
