Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Active-Alert Hypnosis

Participants in this arm will receive four one-hour weekly sessions that will include training in a rapid self-hypnosis method. Participants will learn how to use waking hypnosis to manage fatigue using exercises with sensory experiences.

BEHAVIORAL

Traditional Hypnosis

Participants in this arm will receive four one-hour weekly sessions where participants will learn how to use hypnosis along with relaxation.
