MEDIA COVERAGE
I participated in a National Seminar on Crime Against Women: Issues, Challenges and Intervention organized at my alma mater Digamber Jain College, Baraut (Baghpat) on 1-2 November 2015. I happened to meet my well wisher Dr. Anurag Mittal at Baraut. He has been supporting my passion of hypnosis and past life regression for a long time. He is aware of my recent interest in Cognitive Drill Therapy through social media. When we met, I introduced the concepts of Cognitive Drill Therapy to him. He could immediately conceptualize it and even encouraged me to work on Claustrophobia too. He related an instance where he had to accompany one of his acquaintances to MRI scan because of claustrophobia. He impressed me with the limitations imposed on claustrophobic person while undergoing such examinations. He in turn introduced me and my work to the Correspondent of Dainik Jagaran News Paper Meerut Issue. With a cool mind, we three persons discussed and clarified various concepts, theoretical framework and extensive scope of cognitive drill therapy. A featured coverage appeared on 7th November 2015; the first media coverage on Cognitive Drill Therapy.
