He combines mindfulness with cognitive behavioral therapy, which tends to result in sessions focused both on building practical skills for self-awareness and behavioral modification as well as on sustained, critical analysis of one's invisible scripts and beliefs. Dr. Hanna balances empathy with a rare and very honest respect for his patients that encourages them to hold themselves accountable for their own progress, which, as you grow more confident in your skills, proves quite powerful. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Hanna.
