Common therapeutic strategies include counselling, cognitive strategies, such as thought restructuring or acceptance, conditioning, behavioral activation, systematic desensitization, and behavioral countermeasures (such as breathing and visualisation techniques) at aura onset, applied by the patient. Other therapeutic approaches may include family systems therapy, mindfulness interventions, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Self‐ or family‐management – defined as activities or steps that an individual or family can perform that are known to either control the frequency of seizures, or promote the well‐being of the person with seizures.
