Negative thoughts



Question from our client: 
My friend always has negative thoughts, I have no idea what to do. Can you help him?
 
My answer: 
Yes! I can.
I will use biofeedback and clinical hypnotherapy to help him. 
Many studies have shown that your mood is positive when the left frontal area of your brain is more active than the right frontal area, and that your mood is poor when the right is more active than the left. Biofeedback and clinical hypnotherapy can change your thoughts and your brainwave! 
They are completely non-invasive as well as safe. 
Add-on service: I will teach the EFT or self hypnosis to my clients too! So they can cope with their problem quite well even I am not with them.
At my centre, Dato Dr and other therapists have been working closely together with me to help my clients. 
We really care about our clients and we won't label them.

Easy weight loss: The 'virtual gastric band'



A woman lost a staggering 6.5 stone after being hypnotised into thinking she had been fitted with a gastric band.
Janice Rodgers, 46, tipped the scales at 17st 7lbs and became desperate to find a solution.
When she researched weight loss surgery online she stumbled upon a website about a ‘virtual band’- a treatment that hypnotises you into believing your stomach has shrunk in size.

When she came to after the first treatment she was in disbelief the hypnosis had worked but gradually began to lose weight, slimming down to a trim 11st in just seven months after the treatment made her physically unable to eat unhealthy foods.
She stopped eating junk food like crisps and fried chicken and embarked on a two week plan of just liquids and gradually introduced solid food over time.
Janice lost a staggering 12lbs in her first week and dropped from size 22 to size 12 in seven months thanks to the virtual gastric band.
She has since stuck to a diet of salads, fruit, healthy wholegrains and and lean, grilled meat and still listens to mp3 recordings of her sessions to keep her motivated.

Janice, a care worker from Manchester, said: 'I had been overweight for 23 years, since the birth of my son, and tried everything to lose weight.
'I signed up for weekly weight loss classes but any weight I lost I would just put straight back on.
'I started going to Zumba classes with two slim friends but by the end of each session I was gasping for air.
'I knew I needed to do something about it so I logged onto the computer and looked up gastric bands without telling anyone.
'I was shocked with the amount of websites I found, but among them was Andrew’s which mentioned a hypnotic band.
'After researching that I decided to book an appointment, the price was reasonable and I though I would just give it a go.
'I decided not to tell anyone because I felt like a fool but I was just so desperate to lose weight.
'When I first went I thought it would be a load of rubbish and I felt no different until I went home and tried to eat something but it felt like chewing carpet.
'I thought I had better look at the eating plan, which was just liquid for two weeks and then gradually worked up to solid food.
'After eating a lot over the years I didn’t think I could do it but I found it so easy and never felt hungry at all.
'The weight came off so fast and in my first week I dropped 12lbs. I still can’t believe I have reached a size 12 and I sometimes do pick up my old size in the shops.







'My partner, Steve Kirkham, is really proud of me.'
Andrew Nelson said: 'The virtual gastric mind band is made up of cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and mental preparation.
'The treatment begins with an initial discussion where I ask people to visualise themselves as they want to be and we talk about healthy eating.
'People eat for a variety of different reasons and once we have realised the cause I then put them under hypnosis and reaffirm what we have talked about.'

靠少吃跟多運動瘦身已經不是新鮮話題,現在英國出現了號稱用催眠的方法就可以讓人成功減重,聽起來不免讓人半信半疑,但英國的46歲婦人羅傑斯(Janice Rodgers)就是成功靠催眠療法,在7個月內甩掉40公斤肥肉。

根據英國《鏡報》(Mirror News)報導,羅傑斯自從23年前生下兒子之後,就胖到111公斤,雖然她也很想要減掉身上的贅肉,卻總是不得其門而入。過去也曾參加過減重班,並與朋 友一起參加「 Zumba 舞蹈」的課程,但她不是復胖過快,就是因體力無法負荷而半途而廢,難以成功瘦下來。

後來她轉而在網路上查詢以胃間隔手術來控制食量的減肥方式,卻意外發現「仿真胃間隔」療法(The virtual gastric mind band),這種由心理治療師為肥胖者做催眠,進而減少其食量的瘦身方法。羅傑斯在不敢告訴親友的情況下,花了270英鎊(台幣1.25萬元)參加此療 程,並在第一堂課後,就奇蹟似地使她不再喜愛高熱量的垃圾食物,甚至表示那些東西吃起來就像在嚼地毯。

經過1周的催眠療法後,羅傑斯就成功瘦下了5.4公斤,7個月後成功瘦下40公斤。心理治療師安德魯尼爾森(Andrew Nelson)表示,他此套催眠瘦身法是針對人的認知行為、神經語言編程和心理狀態去做調整,第一堂課都從想像自己瘦身成功的模樣,以及擁有健康飲食型態 的過程開始,逐步調整肥胖者的心理。

World Autism Awareness Day 2014




"World Autism Awareness Day is about more than generating understanding; it is a call to action. I urge all concerned to take part in fostering progress by supporting education programmes, employment opportunities and other measures that help realize our shared vision of a more inclusive world."

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Message for the World Autism Awareness Day 2014



Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that manifests itself during the first three years of life. The rate of autism in all regions of the world is high and it has a tremendous impact on children, their families, communities and societies.

Throughout its history, the United Nations family has promoted the rights and well-being of the disabled, including children with developmental disabilities. In 2008, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities entered into force, reaffirming the fundamental principle of universal human rights for all.
The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (A/RES/62/139) to highlight the need to help improve the lives of children and adults who suffer from the disorder so they can lead full and meaningful lives.


How newmindcentre.com team can help you?
Neurotherapy is essentially a way of teaching a child how to self-regulate their own brainwaves. Reports from caregivers of people with autism suggest people have witnessed improvements in a variety of areas including speech and irritability. A few scientific reports have highlighted that a demonstrated increase in social interaction may be seen in child with autism following neurotherapy treatment. One study suggested that parents who noticed an improvement continued to see the benefits for at least a year after neurotherapy. In November 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics approved biofeedback and neurotherapy as a Level 1 or “best support” treatment option for children suffering from ADHD. Interestingly, we know that many children with autism may also have these symptoms similar with ADHD. It has been suggested that 1 in 3 children with autism may also have ADHD.

Type 1 or Type 2 ADHD ?

You might have known what Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is, but did you know the distinction between Type 1 and Type 2 ADHD? 


How Is ADHD Usually Diagnosed?


Most psychologists, psychiatrists, and pediatricians diagnose ADHD based on a set of inattention and hyperactivity symptoms along with other criteria outlined in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders- Fifth Edition (DSM-V). For someone to be diagnosed with ADHD, the behaviors must have lasted for at least six months, and symptoms must be present in school and in other aspects of the individual's life.

Inattention symptoms of ADHD include:

  • Not paying attention to detail
  • Making careless mistakes
  • Failing to pay attention and keep on task
  • Not listening
  • Being unable to follow or understand instructions
  • Avoiding tasks that involve effort
  • Being distracted or forgetful
  • Losing things that are needed to complete tasks

Hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms of ADHD include:

  • Fidgeting
  • Squirming
  • Getting up often when seated
  • Running or climbing at inappropriate times
  • Having trouble playing quietly
  • Talking excessively or out of turn
  • Interrupting

Based on the above symptoms listed in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the American Psychiatric Association has identified three subtypes of ADHD: 

1. ADHD, Combined Type: Both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms

2.ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type: Inattention, but not enough (at least 6 out of 9 for children less than 18 years old) hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms

3. ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: Hyperactivity-impulsivity, but not enough (at least 6 out of 9) inattention symptoms




How can newmindcentre.com help you?
Pills are not the only way to manage your child’s inappropriate or maladaptive behaviors.  In November 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics approved biofeedback and neurotherapy as a Level 1 or “best support” treatment option for children suffering from ADHD. For parents looking for an effective, non-drug treatment of ADHD, neurotherapy is one worth serious consideration.

Neurotherapy for ADHD

Neurotherapy trains children to become more aware of their physiological responses and how to gain control of the brain’s frontal lobe, which is the executive functioning center. Electroencephalography (EEG) neurotherapy is a specific technique under biofeedback therapy, and it is the recording of electrical activity within the cells of the scalp. Neurotherapy focuses on the central nervous system and the brain’s activity in order to give moment-to-moment information.
Children with ADHD have higher rates of EEG abnormalities compared to children without ADHD, such as higher theta wave rhythms (drowsiness), lower sensorimotor rhythms (movement control), and lower beta waves (attention and memory processes). Neurotherapy provides audio and visual interpretations of these brain waves, and children learn how to maintain the appropriate levels for functioning.
During a neurotherapy session, EEG sensors are situated on the scalp. Specific brain wave activity is then detected, amplified, and recorded. The information is instantaneously fed back to the therapist and client on a screen. The therapist informs the client what they are observing, and trains them on how to control the brain activity so that it reaches the desired range. With the help of a video game program, the child learns to maintain low activity of the delta waves and an increase in beta waves, or the game will not continue to play. With this, the child exercises the brain and increases his focus and attention.
It also has been studied and reported that the brains of children with ADHD are lacking the regulation from the frontal region, allowing the mid-brain to quickly react without a type of checking system. Neurotherapy restores the strength of the frontal region of the brain, and builds a better connection between the mid-brain and forebrain, allowing focus, attention, impulses, and emotional reactions to become manageable. Children build memory for how they were able to achieve the desired results within the sessions and use it outside of the sessions to produce lasting results.
Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a psychostimulant drug commonly used for the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents. Research suggests that neurotherapy is an equally effective treatment. Children are typically given three doses of 10 mg Ritalin per day on school days.Neurotherapy  training is shown to be a favorable option that provides the same results as medication. For parents who prefer other options aside from medication, neurotherapy is a non-invasive, safe, effective, and long-lasting treatment option. Typically, the child will participate in 10 to 20 sessions or more depending on severity of symptoms, and each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
