Psychiatry"],"abstract":"<jats:p>Modern psychotherapy increasingly integrates multimodal and process-based approaches designed to respond to the complexity of contemporary clinical presentations. This paper introduces a three-pillar psychotherapeutic model combining (1) a revised cognitive behavioral foundation, (2) consciousness activation techniques derived from hypnosis, and (3) yoga-inspired postural and interoceptive training. This integrative framework was specifically adapted for migrant populations, who commonly present with emotional dysregulation, somatic complaints, dissociative symptoms, and limited access to long-term mental healthcare. These clinical challenges are often compounded by trauma exposure, linguistic barriers, precarious living conditions, and chronic stress. The model emphasizes present-moment emotional identification as a fundamental therapeutic process. Emotions are addressed not as targets for regulation or cognitive restructuring, but as perceptual signals enabling flexible behavioral adaptation. Intervention begins with the recognition of bodily emotional sensations, progresses through attentional detachment from non-current cognitions, and incorporates movement-based techniques to strengthen interoceptive awareness. In this framework, basic emotions\u2014joy, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and disgust\u2014are conceptualized as biologically grounded and culturally universal, providing an accessible entry point for emotional work with culturally diverse patients. This paper proposes two intervention formats: (1) a transdiagnostic five-session psychotherapy focusing on emotional identification, interoceptive exposure, attentional training, and yoga-based postural work; and (2) a single-session \u201cOne-Shot Concentration Group\u201d integrating mindful breathing with detached awareness and simple body\u2013mind postures to enhance attentional flexibility. Both interventions were delivered with interpreter support when necessary and structured to minimize reliance on verbal processing, making them well suited for allophone patients. Preliminary clinical observations show immediate benefits such as increased attentional flexibility, reduced physiological tension, and enhanced mental calmness. Longer-term effects reported by patients and clinicians include improvements in sleep, concentration, memory, and decreases in anxiety, depressive symptoms, and dissociative episodes. These findings support the feasibility and acceptability of this three-pillar model in settings involving migrant patients facing multiple vulnerabilities. This work underscores the relevance of integrating cognitive, interoceptive, and movement-based psychotherapeutic elements, and highlights future directions for empirical evaluation, including the incorporation of objective physiological measures such as electrodermal activity to assess autonomic regulation and therapeutic impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2026.1737072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,26]],"date-time":"2026-06-26T05:44:02Z","timestamp":1782452642000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Integrating CBT, hypnosis-based consciousness activation techniques, and yoga-based postural training: a three-pillar approach used for migrant populations"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Suchocka Capuano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre Hospitalier Sainte-Anne, P\u00f4le Psychiatrie et Pr\u00e9carit\u00e9, GHU Paris Psychiatrie & Neurosciences","place":["Paris, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1023\/B:JOBA.0000007455.08539.94","article-title":"Multidimensional assessment of emotion regulation and dysregulation: Development, factor structure, and initial validation of the difficulties in emotion regulation scale","volume":"26","author":"Gratz","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Psychopathol Behav Assess"},{"key":"B2","volume-title":"Stress, appraisal, and coping","author":"Lazarus","year":"1984"},{"key":"B3","volume-title":"Psychological stress and the coping process","author":"Lazarus","year":"1966"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5040\/9781492596233.ch-002","article-title":"Progress on a cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotion","volume":"46","author":"Lazarus","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am Psychol"},{"key":"B5","volume-title":"Cognitive therapy of depression","author":"Beck","year":"1979"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10942-005-0018-6","article-title":"Detached mindfulness in cognitive therapy: A metacognitive analysis and ten techniques","volume":"23","author":"Wells","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Rat-Emo.
