[review] Tourette syndrome therapy malaysia - Henry Case

When I first sent my teenager boy for brain trainer (EEG biofeedback) and Neuro-hypnotherapy, I was hoping to help him to manage tourette syndrome and his attitude. Noticeable changes was seen after 3 treatment (Neuro-hypnotherapy and EEG biofeedback sessions), he had been more positive and well behaved. His tourette syndrome symptoms are ignorable today after 16 sessions of brain trainer (EEG biofeedback). I am really thankful to your centre for this miracle changes where no other doctors can do for him so far (He doesn't have to go through for surgery now).

- Mother of Henry, Mrs Koh.

In most cases, the treatment plan for tics could involve one or more of the following: 

• Treatments that don't involve taking medication – psychotherapy and alternative therapies 
• Medication – the three types of medication that may be prescribed are alpha2-adrenergic agonists, muscle relaxants and dopamine antagonists 
• Surgery –surgical techniques may be suitable - such as deep brain stimulation

Yes, In Malaysia we offer natural and alternative therapies for Tourette's Syndrome by using Neuro-Hypnotherapy and EEG biofeedback therapy:

1) Neuro-Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, reported that self-hypnosis aided by the use of videotape training may help children with Tourette’s syndrome to manage tic disorders. Thirty-three young patients were recruited for the study and trained in self-hypnosis techniques by watching a videotaped series featuring a boy undergoing training for tic control. The results of the study, published in the “Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics,” found that 79 percent of the participants continued to control tics after a six-week follow-up. Of theses, 46 percent were able to modify tic frequency after two self-hypnosis session, and 96 percent after three. The study concluded that self-hypnosis is a valuable addition to a multidisciplinary tic-management program.

2) EEG biofeedback therapy and Tourette Syndrome

Recent research has uncovered two key types of brain dysregulation in Tourette Syndrome. The first has to do with the sensorimotor rhythm, better known as the SMR. The SMR appears as distinct “spindle” patterns, representing synchronized electrical activity within the brain. Interestingly, the SMR is actually not yet well understood by neuroscientists. SMR amplitude is known to be higher when a person isn’t moving, when the sensorimotor areas of the brain are idle. Motor tasks and even motor mental imagery cause the SMR’s amplitude to decrease. Tourette Syndrome patients additionally have been shown to have excess theta wave activity in the frontal lobes. SMR and frontal theta dysfunction are believed to lie at the heart of Tourette Syndrome.

What is known, however, is that EEG biofeedback therapy can in fact be used to gain control over one’s own sensorimotor rhythm. This is at the heart of the potential of EEG biofeedback therapy to help manage Tourette symptoms. Researchers are already producing evidence that EEG biofeedback therapy focused on the SMR can help reduce tics. In one successful case study, a 17-year-old Tourette patient was given EEG biofeedback training with protocols designed to increase SMR and reduce theta, although researchers found that SMR training alone was actually somewhat more effective. The patient experienced a reduction in tics, as well as improved cognitive functioning.

What Is Tourette's Syndrome? 

Tourette's syndrome is a problem with the nervous system that causes people to make sudden movements or sounds, called tics, that they can't control. For example, someone with Tourette's might blink or clear their throat over and over again. Some people may blurt out words they don't intend to say. Treatments can control tics, but some people don’t need any unless their symptoms really bother them. About 100,000 Americans have full-blown Tourette's syndrome, but more people have a milder form of the disease. It often starts in childhood, and more boys than girls get it. Symptoms often get better as children grow up. For some people, they go away completely.

马来西亚失眠治疗：Neuro-hypnotherapy脑波反馈催眠疗法

在继续往下阅读前，先问问自己是否遇到以下问题？

• 担心害怕今晚睡不着
• 心情郁闷
• 无法集中精神
• 半夜容易惊醒
• 浅眠
• 多梦
• 焦虑
• 觉得身体开始出现状况
• 就是感觉不舒服虽然医生说你没病

如果你面对以上任何一个问题，你现在就可以联络我了。

我会提供你一次免付费咨询，让你了解你的状况。

在马来西亚，截至笔者我编辑这篇文章为止，我是唯一使用Neuro-hypnotherapy脑波反馈催眠疗法，即结合高科技与传统科学的催眠疗法帮助客户克服失眠问题的Neuro-hypnotherapy脑波反馈催眠疗法创始人。只要愿意配合我的疗法与指示，大部分客户通常只需3次疗程就可以感觉到失眠问题得到显著改善与增强睡眠质量sleep quality。在不使用药物，无痛，无副作用的条件下，效果还能持久呢！原因是我将透过你的脑电波反应，教导你如何使用个人化的自我催眠方法睡个好眠。


如果透过催眠进行失眠治疗？

从催眠最初的发展开始，就被用来进行生理、心理疾病的治疗，所以它的应用也十分广泛。催眠疗法被广泛应用于失眠症的治疗。

　　催眠疗法治疗失眠是应用一定的催眠技术使人进入催眠状态，并用积极的暗示控制病人心身状态和行为的一种心理治疗方法，通过正性意念来消除焦虑、紧张、恐惧等负性意念。

　　要想拥有安稳的睡眠，必须内心安宁平和。多数失眠者患的是“失眠担心症”，开始时是偶然事件造成的偶然睡不着，后来则是因为担心失眠而导致失眠，越失眠就越担心，越担心就越失眠，形成恶性循环并深陷其中无法自拔。催眠治疗就是要消除这种紧张担心的条件反射。治疗在温馨舒适的环境中进行，伴随着优美的音乐，治疗师一方面用专业轻柔的语言，引导来访者进入深度放松状态，一方面引导其体验深度放松的感觉，让来访者在意识清醒状态下真切地触摸到入睡的感觉，并学习掌握跟这种入睡感觉建立连接的方法，使来访者对入睡建立信心，消除对失眠的焦虑。对于担心失眠者来说，只要消除了紧张担心的感觉和条件反射，内心安宁了，睡眠自然就正常了。

　　催眠疗法对失眠有非常高的疗效。在催眠师语言的诱导下，能使患者达到全身乃至心灵深处的放松。催眠师的循循诱导，能使患者摆脱所有影响睡眠的症结；再通过一针见血的语言指令，使一切造成压力、紧张、不安、挫折的因素得以宣泄，深层的病因被催眠师消除，从而能使患者体验到心身放松的快感和愉悦。只要经常体验这种松弛状态，那么恢复正常的睡眠功能那是指日可待的事情了。

身体疾病导致的失眠，也可通过催眠疗法进行辅助治疗。潜意识对调节和控制人体的内分泌、呼吸、消化、血液循环、免疫、物质代谢等均起着很大作用。身心灵是一体的，当内心充满了焦虑紧张等消极情绪时，体内会有大量的P物质和去甲肾上腺素释放，使全身血管收缩，气滞血淤，各种身心疾病由此产生。而人在喜悦、大笑、回忆幸福的体验时，会有大量的脑啡肽的分泌，这种脑啡呔的止痛能力超过自然吗啡的二百倍之多，是人体内部主要的止痛系统。如果在催眠状态下不断地强化积极情感、良好的感觉以及正确的观念，消除焦虑紧张等消极情绪，人脑中枢神经也会分泌大量的脑啡肽，不但有止痛作用，而且让人内心感到安详宁静，从而改善睡眠质量。

脑波反馈催眠疗法：自律神经失调与治疗

「醫師，我老是失眠！」「可能是自律神經失調。」

「我經常莫名地心跳加速，呼吸急促！」「應該是自律神經失調。」

「我也沒做什麼事，整天就全身無力沒有元氣。」「可能是自律神經出問題。」

似乎愈來愈常從醫師口裡說出，自律神經失調這個診斷名詞，罹患自律神經失調的人真的愈來愈多了嗎？

嚴格說來，自律神經失調並非單一疾病，所以沒有自律神經失調的流行病學調查報告，但是臨床上，有自律神經失調的患者的確增加了，因為現代人的生活步調太快，人和人的關係複雜，家人、親密關係複雜，工作及同儕環境也變複雜，金融海嘯、找不到工作的流浪博士......，這些都是壓力來源，而自律神經失調是壓力下引起的症狀，所以有自律神經失調的人愈來愈常見。

自律神經失調症狀百百種

幾乎所有症狀都可能和自律神經失調有關。「老是覺得心慌慌，快要心臟病發」、「呼吸急促氧氣不足，像是氣喘發作」、「肚子老是痛，一下便秘一下拉肚子」、「每天起床就覺得沒元氣」，生氣緊張時可以「怒髮衝冠」，害怕時腳底發寒、冷汗直流，可以說從頭皮到腳底，血管及皮膚等等，幾乎所有症狀都和自律神經有關。

自律神經的變化常會連帶發生肌肉張力增加。因為當面對危險或是不好的情況，腦的警覺度提高，自律神經的交感神經和副交感神經兩大系統，會一起動員，讓全身所有的器官及組織來配合，最主要地，肌肉要隨時用力，準備迎接挑戰或躲避逃跑。所以，絕大多數自律神經失調的病人都有頭痛症狀，因為警覺性會讓人肌肉繃緊，頸部及肩膀僵硬痠痛。緊張時，肌肉的收縮肌和舒張肌同時用力，全身肌肉張度過高，身體過度消耗氧氣及葡萄糖等能量，人也容易全身無力、易累疲倦、沒有元氣。

除了這些共通症狀外，自律神經失調的症狀很千變萬化，有些人會以氣喘等心肺功能症狀為主，有些人則是容易手腳冰冷，讓人奇怪：同樣都是自律神經失調，症狀表現為什麼不一樣？

實際情形是，自律神經雖然不受意志控制，卻很容易被暗示，而且還有學習效果。有些人可能看過親人罹患心臟病，甚至因而過世，就特別擔心心臟，自律神經失調時就會以心跳過速為主。

明明不舒服 為什麼查不出來

由於自律神經失調影響的，只是器官及組織表面上的神經功能，但患者本身器官及組織結構完好，所以檢查儀器往往查不出問題。一般人得知檢查一切正常，可能會很高興，但老覺得不舒服的自律神經失調患者聽到檢查不出問題，反而會更焦慮，以為：「我病情這麼嚴重，醫師卻檢查不出來，表示我的病一定很嚴重！」自己嚇自己，症狀愈來愈加重。

如果就醫時選對了專業的精神科醫師，或遇到警覺性高的醫師，告訴患者「檢查雖然顯示沒有器質上的問題，但並不表示真的沒問題，而是功能上失去平衡」，讓患者知道有人了解他的病痛，他反而會如釋重擔，覺得自己終於有救了。

自律神經失調的症狀
自律神經失調的症狀可以用「五花八門」來形容，罹病個案的不適症狀甚至可以由頭到腳、在不同部位來回轉移。以下是常見的症狀：
1.頭：頭暈、頭重、頭痛、頭部發麻、發燙感。
2.眼：眼睛疲勞、眼痛、淚眼、眼睛張不開、視線模糊、眼睛乾澀。

10.心臟：心悸(感覺到心跳)、心跳加速、心跳強勁、心臟無力感、胸悶、胸部壓迫感。
11.血官循環：血壓起伏變動（會出現假性高血壓）、頭昏眼花、手腳冰冷、臉部潮紅燥熱、起立性暈眩、血氣上衝、偏頭痛。
12.消化器官：食道阻塞感、噁心、嘔吐、胃部發熱、胃部痙攣、腹脹、腹部疼痛、便秘或腹瀉、腸胃蠕動異常、肛門口不快感、便意感頻繁。

Natural Relief for Stomach Pain

Stomachaches—ugh! Whether you have chronic abdominal pain due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or another health problem, such as Crohn’s disease or functional abdominal pain (FAP), ongoing belly discomfort can rob the joy from your life.

Popping certain pills can sometimes provide temporary relief, but since all drugs carry side effects, is there a natural way to feel better?

The use of clinical hypnotherapy has been proven to reduce pain symptoms and it has become a doctor-recommended treatment at oversea.

I use the neuro-hypnotherapy technique, whereby I can observe the brainwave going into different state such as delta, theta, alpha and beta brainwave while the suggestion is being given by the hypnotherapist during the therapy session. When your brainwaves are in  alpha state, you may notice that your breathing begins to slow down, as will your heart rate and blood pressure. This stage of hypnosis trance stage can be used to control pain. Personalized self-hypnosis method will be developed based on the brainwave observation.

Research studies:

http://sciencenordic.com/treating-stomach-pains-hypnosis

Proven to be effective

In previous studies hypnotherapy has been shown to improve not only IBS symptoms, but also symptoms outside the intestinal system, as well as quality of life and ‘psychological co-morbidity’ – the knock-on effect from IBS on other psychological conditions.

http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cont...24/5/e890.short

CONCLUSION: Guided imagery treatment plus medical care was superior to standard medical care only for the treatment of abdominal pain, and treatment effects were sustained over a long period.

http://journals.lww.com/jpgn/Abstract/2009...nctional.3.aspx

Psychological and behavioral interventions were classified into the following 5 primary treatment modalities: psychoeducation, behavior therapy/contingency management, relaxation-based therapies (including biofeedback and hypnotherapy), and cognitive-behavioral therapy (including cognitive-behavioral family therapy). There was a wide variation in the quality and quantity of studies within each treatment category. Effective interventions generally involved multiple therapeutic components and included elements of both individual and family treatment. Psychological interventions that combine psychoeducation, relaxation-based therapies, and cognitive-behavioral therapy appear superior to standard care (reassurance or dietary manipulation) in the elimination of pain and reduction in functional disability.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19196096

Although effective in the management of acute pain and distress in pediatric cancer patients, the use of hypnotherapy in children with FCRAP is not a common practice. The current study highly supports the use of hypnosis as a part of the biobehavioral approach for this dilemma.

http://bottomlinehealth.com/natural-relief-for-stomach-pain/

The study, done by researchers from the Netherlands, tracked the impact of “gut-directed” hypnotherapy in girls and boys between the ages of 12 and 17 and young adults up to age 23 who had chronic abdominal pain. For this new study, the patients kept a pain diary. The results indicated that hypnosis may bring lasting relief for chronic tummy pain. About 68% of the participants who had been taught hypnosis were free or mostly free of abdominal pain five years later, compared with only 20% of those who had received standard therapy alone. Scores for headache, chronic fatigue and joint pain were markedly lower among the hypnosis group as well.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/23/us-hypnosis-idUSTRE81M22C20120223

(Reuters Health) - Hypnosis may bring lasting relief to some kids with irritable bowel syndrome or chronic stomach pain, a small study suggests.

Researchers found that of 52 children with the tummy troubles, those who had six hypnosis sessions -- plus at-home "self-hypnosis" -- were still doing well five years later. More than two-thirds were free or mostly free of abdominal pain. That compared with just 20 percent of kids who were given standard therapy alone. Researchers led by Dr. Arine M. Vlieger, of St. Antonius Hospital in the Netherlands, reported the results in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

[review] Headaches and Migraines - Miss Ang

I feel dizzy and headache for 3 months. This problem has affected my life and my studies. I have seen many doctors but they couldn't help to cure my dizziness. I have done blood test and MRI scan but the cause of my dizziness and headache still could not be found. I get to know Hiro Koo from newspaper, in the first session of neuro-hypnotherapy, I can see my EEG brainwaves and understand about the cause of my problem.

Certain part of my brain is detected to have excessive brainwaves activity. Through neuro-hypnotherapy and Hiro Koo, I found a method which is suitable for me to control my brainwaves. Neuro-hypnotherapy helped me to find a way to control my dizziness and headache.


After 2 sessions of neuro-hypnotherapy within a 3 week period, I seldom feel dizzy and headache in my daily lives. I would recommend neuro-hypnotherapy to others because it really helps in the long run because you can learn the skill that last a lifetime from Hiro Koo to self-regulate your brainwaves even without continue the neuro-hypnotherapy session.

Hypnotherapy May Help Improve Deep Sleep

In the US, over a quarter of the population report not getting enough sleep, and almost 10% endure chronic insomnia. But new research from two universities in Switzerland suggests hypnosis has a surprising positive impact on quality of sleep.

The researchers, led by biopsychologist Björn Rasch from the Psychological Institute of the University of Zurich, say their findings "open up new, promising opportunities for improving the quality of sleep without drugs."

They publish their research in the journal Sleep.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note that although sleep is often considered a "passive" activity, ample sleep is an essential part of staying healthy and preventing disease.

Insufficient sleep is linked with several chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and depression.

Additionally, the researchers of this latest study say that slow-wave sleep (SWS) has a positive impact on memory and immune system function, and during this period of sleep, the body secretes growth hormones, promotes cell repair and improves brain plasticity. However, the team also notes that SWS declines significantly across a person's lifespan.

Hypnosis is a technique that can impact processes that are difficult to voluntarily control - for example, when you are exhausted and want to sleep but are unable to do so.

Although patients with sleep conditions have been successfully treated with hypnotherapy in the past, the researchers say that until now, objectively measurable changes in sleep have not been proven.

In order to further investigate, the team conducted a study with 70 healthy young women who came to the sleep laboratory for a 90-minute nap during midday.

During their nap, the researchers objectively measured their sleep by recording electrical brain activity with an electroencephalogram (EEG). The team says slow-wave sleep is characterized by an even and slow oscillation in electrical activity in the brain.

Results showed that the women in the highly suggestible group experienced over 80% more SWS after hypnosis session, and their time spent awake was reduced by one third, compared with highly suggestible women who listened to the neutral text.

After they conducted additional control experiments, the researchers concluded that the beneficial effects of hypnosis on SWS were attributed to the hypnotic suggestion to "sleep deeper," stating that these effects were not simply expectancy effects.

'Unlike drugs, hypnosis has no side effects'

The research was only conducted in women, and the investigators note that females tend to have higher values for hypnotic susceptibility, compared with males. However, the team believes they would encounter similar positive effects of hypnosis on sleep for men who are highly suggestible.

Maren Cordi, a psychologist involved with the study, says "the results may be of major importance for patients with sleep problems and for older adults. In contrast to many sleep-inducing drugs, hypnosis has no adverse side effects."

The researchers conclude their study by noting that essentially everyone who responds to hypnosis could achieve better sleep with hypnosis.

Success Story (Depression and poor quality sleep with excessive dreaming)

Miss Ng has suffered from depression and poor quality sleep with excessive dreaming for more than 5 years. 
She has been prescribed anti depressant as well as drug for depression and sleep problem. 
She knows about our neuro-hypnotherapy service through Internet and she wants to try it as it is an evidence based practice (She is able to view her own brain waves). 

After 3 neuro-hypnotherapy sessions, her life become more dynamic, more positivie, with new ways of looking at things. 
The biggest difference that she has noticed is her sleep quality. Now her dreams decrease in frequency and her sleep quality and sleep quantity rise significantly. Now she able to sleep all the way till morning and able to focus more easily. 


She enjoyed the service here because of the high-quality healthcare treatments delivered in a relaxed environment. She also told us that after her neuro-hypnotherapy session, her psychiatry doctor reduced her dosage to lower amount and decrease visit frequency from once a month to every 3 months after noticed her improvement. Overall, she feels that our service is really helpful and it deals directly with the root causes of her problem. Compared to other forms of therapy such as counseling, she prefers to use neuro-hypnotherapy service as it is brief therapy and evidence based practice.

"Ubah frekuensi gelombang otak" KOSMO! | Newspaper | Neuro-hipnoterapi

Oleh MAHFUZ MOHAMAD
[email protected]

NAFSU makan yang tidak terbendung merupakan igauan ngeri bagi seorang wanita muda. Kebimbangan bertambah setiap hari terutama apabila melihat skala pada mesin penimbang berat badan yang menunjukkan peningkatan setiap hari.

Hati menjadi semakin resah dan gelisah apabila memikirkan tentang perkara yang boleh mengakibatkan dirinya ditimpa penyakit serius itu.

Selain bimbang mengenai risiko kesihatan, pandangan sinis rakan-rakan dan orang sekeliling mengenai saiz tubuhnya yang semakin membesar secara tidak langsung menipiskan keyakinan dirinya untuk bersosial.

“Setiap kali saya melihat makanan, saya pasti tidak dapat menahan diri daripada menjamah hidangan tersebut. Keadaan jadi lebih parah apabila ternampak restoran makanan segera.

“Saya rasa seperti ada magnet yang menarik untuk menuju ke situ. Boleh dikatakan setiap hari saya akan singgah ke tempat itu untuk mengisi perut yang tidak pernah kenyang ini.

“Saya pernah ditegur oleh majikan mengenai saiz tubuh badan yang besar. Perkara tersebut sangat menurunkan motivasi saya untuk bekerja dan berhadapan dengan orang ramai terutama rakan sekerja,” ujar Sharon John, 24, ketika ditemui Kosmo! baru-baru ini.

Rawatan alternatif

Prihatin terhadap keadaan Sharon, ­majikannya menyarankan supaya dia mengikuti sesi neuro-hipnoterapi bagi mengatasi masalah nafsu makan dan berat badannya.

Neuro-hipnoterapi ialah kaedah rawatan alternatif yang digunakan untuk merawat penyakit-penyakit berkaitan ketidakstabilan fungsi otak, emosi dan psikologi tanpa pembedahan serta ubat-ubatan.

Mengakui agak sangsi dengan kaedah rawatan alternatif tersebut, dia tetap tekad untuk mencuba kaedah yang mula diperkenalkan di Amerika Syarikat sejak 40 tahun lalu itu.

Setelah menjalani rawatan neuro-hipnoterapi lebih kurang sebulan di pusat kesihatan Spectrum Of Life yang terletak di Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, wanita berusia 24 tahun itu berpuas hati dengan hasil rawatan tersebut apabila dia berjaya mengawal nafsu makannya.

Selain itu, berat badannya juga berkurangan sebanyak 10 kilogram selepas menjalani beberapa rawatan menurunkan berat badan yang ditawarkan di pusat tersebut seperti sauna inframerah.

“Selepas menjalani beberapa sesi neuro-hipnoterapi, saya sedari bahawa terdapat perubahan yang sangat ketara pada diri sendiri. Tanpa disedari, keinginan untuk makan yang melampau sudah hilang. Jika melihat restoran makanan segera pula sudah tidak ada kemahuan untuk menjamu selera di situ.

“Saya juga dapat mengawal jumlah pengambilan makanan harian dalam kuantiti yang sedikit kerana rasa cepat kenyang. Pilihan jenis hidangan juga lebih sihat serta seimbang sekarang,” luah wanita tersebut yang mengakui berasa lebih yakin apabila berhadapan dengan orang ramai.

Kesan daripada rawatan itu juga menyebabkan tahap tekanan sewaktu di tempat kerja berkurangan, sekali gus meningkatkan prestasi kerjanya sebagai pegawai khidmat pelanggan di sebuah bank di ibu kota.

Perubahan positif

Perubahan ke arah yang lebih positif turut dirasai seorang akauntan, Angelin Tan, 51, selepas menjalani lima sesi neuro-hipnoterapi untuk mengurangkan tahap tekanan yang dialaminya akibat bebanan kerja di pejabat.

Dia yang sudah berkecimpung dalam bidang akaun selama 20 tahun mengakui mampu mengawal perasaan marah yang sering dilemparkan terhadap rakan sepejabat dan pekerja bawahannya.

“Dulu, apabila pekerja saya membuat kesalahan dalam tugas yang diberikan, saya pasti akan memarahi mereka walaupun kesilapan kecil sahaja. Namun, selepas menjalani rawatan ini, rakan-rakan sekerja boleh nampak perubahan pada diri saya yang semakin tenang dan lebih mesra pekerja.

“Saya rasa sangat bersyukur dengan kehidupan sekarang. Selain rasa lebih tenteram di tempat kerja, masalah gangguan tidur juga sudah hilang dan tidak lagi terjaga di tengah malam,” katanya yang turut menghantar anaknya ke situ untuk menjalani sesi rawatan sama bagi membantu meningkatkan prestasi dalam pembelajaran.

Tidak terhad kepada rawatan mengubah sikap dan kelakuan, rawatan alternatif itu juga mampu membantu mengurangkan simptom penyakit berkaitan gangguan fungsi otak seperti autisme dan masalah hiperaktif dan kekurangan tumpuan (ADHD).

Masalah yang boleh dirawat melalui kaedah tersebut antara lainnya ialah sakit kepala dan migrain, kemurungan, masalah sistem penghadaman, darah tinggi, sawan gangguan tidur, merokok, keresahan dan epilepsi atau sawan.

“Ketidaktentuan aktiviti gelombang otak yang tidak menentu dikatakan antara punca kepada masalah kelakuan dan sikap seseorang. Melakukan perubahan terhadap perkara tersebut di sesetengah kawasan otak mampu mengurangkan serta menyelesaikan keadaan itu,” kata juruhipnoterapi klinikal Spectrum Of Life Sdn. Bhd., Hiro Koo.

Jelasnya, rawatan tersebut berbeza dengan hipnoterapi biasa kerana menggabungkan cara tradisional yang biasa digunakan oleh ahli terapi hipnosis di seluruh dunia dan kaedah saintifik.

Kaedah saintifik yang dipraktikkan membolehkan juruterapi melihat dan memantau keadaan gelombang otak pesakit sama ada berada dalam keadaan tertekan, relaks mahupun tidak sedar menggunakan mesin pengimbas khas.

“Semasa menjalani rawatan ini, pesakit tidak perlu risau mengenai rasa sakit kerana ia adalah rawatan yang tidak menyakitkan tanpa sebarang prosedur pembedahan. Peralatan yang kita gunakan untuk menganalisis gelombang otak mereka juga tidak menggunakan tenaga elektrik. Jadi, ia selamat.

“Kaedah yang kita gunakan ini mampu memahami keadaan seseorang pesakit dengan lebih baik melalui paparan graf-graf gelombang otak yang dapat dilihat di skrin seperti beta, alpha, theta dan delta,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Hiro memberitahu, perubahan frekuensi gelombang otak yang berlaku terhadap seseorang pesakit tidak akan mendatangkan kesan sampingan negatif seperti penyakit gila dan sebagainya.

Katanya, salah tanggapan masyarakat mengenai rawatan hipnoterapi masih lagi menebal dalam kalangan masyarakat dengan menganggap kaedah tersebut boleh mengakibatkan pesakit hilang kawalan terhadap dirinya dan mudah untuk dimanipulasi oleh orang lain.

“Rawatan ini bukanlah seperti yang kita lihat di dalam televisyen iaitu individu berkenaan seperti dipukau dan tidak sedar apa-apa perkara yang berlaku. Sebaliknya, mereka sebenarnya sedar dan mempunyai kawalan terhadap diri sendiri sepenuhnya ketika rawatan.

“Kaedah neuro-hipnoterapi ini baru diperkenalkan di Malaysia dan kami juga merupakan ahli Persatuan Psikologi Amerika (APA). Keahlian tersebut secara langsung mengiktiraf standard emas bagi rawatan yang ditawarkan,” tuturnya.
