Review客户见证 ( 临床催眠疗法改善抑郁症症状) - K.Y Case


Name              : K.Y


            来这里之前,一直有情绪低落的问题,也许是最疼我的人离世,让我一直放不下。久而久之,感觉患上轻微忧郁症,很多事情,很多东西,都能轻易地让我变得低落,难过,甚至有轻生的念头。
            由于之前有尝试过催眠,也读过相关书籍,加上不想再这样下去,就上网找了资料,找到了Hiro。很刚巧,他有讲座,就这样开始进行了我的治疗。从刚开始的情绪压力及忧郁,在一次又一次的疗程里,慢慢地我找回了生活的意义,自己的价值。此外,情绪失控的情形越来越少发生,也增强了我的抗压性,专注力也提升了。
            我很庆幸在那个时候,我还有机会找到催眠治疗,因为我不喜欢吃药。这个治疗可以让我在很放松的情况下,慢慢改善我的问题,这点真的很好。也许你听过很多关于催眠的说法,但是如果你有情绪的问题或者心理的问题,不妨给自己一个机会尝试催眠这个方法,你也可以和我一样,找回那个真实健康的自己。

QEEG brain mapping assessment

Your brain is a highly complex organ made up of billions of cells called neurons. Neurons send and receive messages to and from all parts of your body. This electrical flow in the brain can be measured and mapped using a QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram). This is known as a “brain map.” Getting a QEEG involves having patients put on a cap that measures 19 sites on their brain. The sites show functions such as focus, worry, decision making, and obsessive thinking.

QEEG, which was developed in the late 1970s, is a type of brain map or database that provides a more visual way to look at the formation of brain waves. QEEG allows you to see more clearly what's going on with their brain functioning. It enables us to see how their brain is communicating. With quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) it is possible to observe several patterns that include optimal states of psychic balance, but also states of focus, attention, language ability, fear, anxiety, panic, anger, impatience, panic attack and depression etc.
Why do I need QEEG brain mapping?
We use the brain map as a kind of “fitness evaluation” or a “roadmap” so we know how best to develop a neurofeedback protocol for your specific situation. In doing so, mind we endeavor to teach your brain how to balance itself, physician eliminating the “noise” and habits that may be causing or contributing to your symptoms. Clinical Neurofeedback training can also be used to enhance your performance, remedy too.Your brain map, which takes just an hour, will capture a window of your brain activity, analyze the data, and create a visual representation for each lobe of the brain and each specific type of brain wave (Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta). And please be aware that brain mapping is not a medical diagnostic tool but merely a method to understand your brain function better.
Prior to getting a QEEG, we could only see how the brain was functioning at specific sites. With the QEEG, we can now see the relationships between different areas of the brain at the same time. As a result, I have a much clearer picture of what's going on in patients' brains, so their treatment is much more effective. QEEG is really a wonderful tool that works hand in hand with clinical neurofeedback.


What experience and training do you need to provide brain maps and neurofeedback training?
Hiro Koo is a certified clinical neurofeedback practitioner from the Spectrum Biofeedback Certification Institute of Asia (SBCIA). He is also master trainer of the SBCIA, it is an institute that provide certification and research & development in the field of Neurofeedback and Biofeedback. SBCIA is the premiere training/Research institute in Asia-Pacific for neurofeedback, biofeedback and self-regulatory exercises. Hiro Koo is one of the first two master trainers of clinical neurofeedback in Malaysia. Hiro Koo was trained by the late Dr Dr Kenneth Kang, a Educational Psychologist, who is the founder of the first neurofeedback therapy centre in Asia (1995) and founding president of SBCIA.


What can I do after the QEEG brain mapping assessment?
You can do the brain training with clinical neurofeedback which can help build new circuits that minimize fear, shame, and anger, that is, compromised brain development can affect emotional control, Control of verbal or behavioral impulses and neurocognition as intelligence, memory, perception and attention. 
The treatment is based on the belief that the source of a person’s problematic condition — for example anxiety and depression - is due to brain disregulation and Neurofeedback Training (NFT) helps to restore that balance. The electrodes on the electroencephalogram (EEG) cap allow your brain function to be fed back to you through the computer screen. The specific problematic areas are then identified that need training.
“The only way you can get that video to play is by making your brain function better. That happens randomly at the beginning but what happens over time is that by making the video play, a person is learning to control their brain function in the area where it is needed.”

都会佳人Citta Bella | Life Magazines 生活杂志 - 2017年11月刊Bella Soul 专栏之《关怀儿童心灵 》

11月20日是儿童节,事实上除了庆典外你知道儿童节还有什么意义吗?儿童节其实扮演着很重要的角色,就是让大家知道关切孩子的心理需求。现今社会里,孩子们面对许多排山倒海的压力。除了课业,他们还需要在课外活动甚至家庭关系里努力表现。这尤其对心灵幼小的孩子来说,当个小孩在现今社会里,已经变成了一件不简单的任务。或许,现今社会孩子的压力并不比你的工作压力来的小哦!




人非圣贤,孰能无过?你的孩子也非机器人,他当然也会有心理创伤与面对情绪问题的时候。对于孩童,我们应该多点同理之心,将心比心的协助他们成长。不要用我们成人的眼光来批判孩子,因为孩子们也要自己的思考与独特的大脑运作模式。
在我的临床治疗生涯中,常常有大人带着孩子来找我进行治疗。有一部分的家长会把所有的问题归咎于孩子,然而这显然对孩子是不公平的。我们需要理解,就算孩子有大脑的问题而引起学习与情绪等问题,那泰半都和家庭与学校状况(环境因素),食物(化学反应),以及脑电波(生理反应)有关系。大部分的问题如学习障碍以及情绪问题,都不是单一因素所造成的。
曾经接触过一起个案,一名中学生因为惧怕上课,而严重影响他的学习生涯与自信心。一年来无论辅导,精神科药物以及父母亲的劝诫都无法帮助他克服对于上课的恐惧。透过潜意识沟通技巧与脑电波检测,我了解他的惧怕根源与校园霸凌事件有直接关系。这问题也导致了他的右脑部位呈现焦虑不安的脑电波状态。于是透过潜意识调理,为他纾解了这个心结与创伤。在几次疗程后,他就得以再次带着自信与笑容上课了。
或许你会认为这只是普通的阴影问题。然而在整个治疗过程中,我也发现了父母与他的相处模式所出现的问题与他大脑状态对他的影响。透过艺术表达的方式,他得以把创伤完整的从潜意识里抒发出来,并透过潜意识调理技术,让他克服这个害怕反应。当然,父母与他的相处模式的调整也对治疗效果产生了很重要的影响。
不少科研学者的研究指出,心理学家普遍使用的认知行为疗法(CBT)对于许多心理问题都起着非常有效的效果。然而对于面对创伤或不善于表达的孩子,潜意识工具如表达艺术技巧与临床催眠其实可以达到事半功倍的效果。这是因为一些学者表示,认知行为疗法对于善于表达与理性的“左脑人士”会比较有效。然而大部分孩子都是“右脑人士”不是吗? 即右脑较为发达。右脑发达的人,情绪与创意是他们进行大部分活动时显现的主要模式。所以呢,创意类方法如表达艺术技巧可以更容易的进入他们的内心世界进行调理。当然我们不能否定认知行为疗法,表达艺术技巧,临床催眠与其他技巧都有其优点与缺点;但是这里重点要表达的是,我们应该“因材施教”。针对个别案例,进行了解并给予最适合的帮助较为恰当。
上述个案孩子如果尽早接受治疗,就不会错过那一整年的学习与成长的黄金时期。希望大家都开始关注你孩子的身心变化,不要让问题变得难以收拾才来行动。

Panic Attack Treatment Malaysia



Hiro Koo:
From my clinical work, I notice that most of my clients who suffer from autonomic nervous dysfunction symptoms such as panic attack or Irritable bowel syndrome tend to experience self-induced (hypnotic) trance states. Most of them show a certain type of brainwaves activity and they can be triggered and activated the fear response easily.

Dissociation is also known as a 'self-induced (hypnotic) trance states' or 'altered states of consciousness'. The sensations of dissociation are many and varied. They can easily experience the following dissociative sensations:




  • Sensitivity to light and sound 
  • Tunnel vision 
  • Feeling as if your body has expanded so that it feels larger than normal 
  • Feeling as if your body has shrunk to minute proportions 
  • Stationary objects may appear to move 
  • Driving a car and suddenly realise you don't remember what has happened during all or part of the trip 
  • Listening to someone talk and realise you did not hear part or all of what was said 
  • Sometimes sit staring off into space, and not being aware of the passage of time
People who do dissociate have had this ability since childhood, although many people have forgotten they were able to do this as children. This ability can be activated once again as an adult as a result of a major stress and/or not eating or sleep properly. 
For example, People who have panic disorder are not aware of how they can 'trance out' so easily, and they can then panic when they move into an altered state. 
Some people with panic disorder are frightened of their ability to dissociate, other people are not. One of the easiest way people can induce a trance state is when they are relaxed and/or when they are staring : out of the window, driving, watching TV, reading a book, using the computer, when talking with someone. Fluorescent lights can trigger a trance state, so too can self-absorption. The more absorbed we become, the more we can induce a trance state. 


Hiro Koo:
I notice that 'self-induced (hypnotic) trance states' happens to most to the clients who suffered from the symptoms of the autonomic nervous dysfunction. Thus, clinical hypnotherapy can help you to utilize your trance state in a proper and positive way. By doing clinical neurofeedback, it can help you to feel more in control as well.

Review ( Non-drug approach - Health Anxiety Treatment Malaysia) - Mr Jay


Name              : Jay

I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I felt tired constantly. I could not sleep. I was taking sleeping pills to sleep. I had uncontrolled anxiety.

I had gone to many doctors and spent tens of thousands of ringgit to check my condition. My health anxiety had gotten worse! Doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me.
I also went to see at least 4 other psychologists but it did not make any difference to me. In fact it made me feel even worse than when I had started. 

Then I read about Hiro on the internet. i was on the verge of giving up but I told myself to give this a last shot. Hiro assessed me and told me that I had an overthinking brain and shared with me techniques to calm myself down. Until this very day, I practice the techniques daily.
I feel a lot better now. Marked improvement in my daily life.

I would recommend Hiro to everyone. His technique really works!

Astro Ria MY DOCTORS - Expert Panel (As Clinical Hypnotherapist) to differentiate between the Pukau and Clinical Hypnosis


Bual bicara yang menampilkan pakar dari bidang kesihatan membincangkan pelbagai topik yang berkaitan dengan kesihatan. Topik minggu ini mengenai gejala tidur dan kaedah rawatan alternatif (Hipnoterapi).

Program - My Doctors

"Differentiate between the Pukau and Clinical Hypnosis"


Hipnosis itu bukan pukau!

Pukau tradisional akan mempengaruhi tingkah laku, pemikiran dan emosi anda. Mereka akan guna bahasa yang manis, sentuhan atau mengejutkan kamu seperti memandang mata kamu atau pun mereka akan gunakan medium lain seperti magik atau bahan-bahan untuk mempengaruhi kamu. 


Hipnosis dipelajari secara ilmiah sejak 3000 tahun terdahulu. Hipnosis sebahagian dari ilmu psikologi abad kini. Diiktiraf oleh British Medical Association, USA pada tahun 1958 dan digunakan di dalam bidang perubatan moden hingga ke hari ini. Kebanyakkan client saya datang untuk menggubah tabiat yang buruk, mengurangkan berat badan, bimbang dan risau, ADHD, menguruskan kesakitan dan gangguan mood.

Hipnosis itu adalah seni meletakkan minda dan emosi diri dalam keadaan tenang menggunakan kekuatan BERBAHASA bagi memprogram kembali minda diri.

Kaunseling yang tradisional atau terapi bercakap seperti CBT lebih sesuai bagi orang yang pandai bercakap dan rasional. Bagi hypnotherapy, ini lebih sesuai bagi orang yang tidak bagus dalam bercakap dan ekspresi, seperti orang yang risau terlalu banyak atau orang yang mengalami trauma. Ini kerana orang yang rational tahu apa yang mereka kena buat tapi minda bawah sedar tidak tahu bahawa mereka memerlukan bantuan. Inilah kenapa hypnotherapy sangat berkesan untuk kes-kes emosi dan kes-kes yang berkaitan dengan minda kami yang bawah sedar. 

Anda boleh mengetahui diri anda dengan lebih baik dan mengatasi masalah anda dengan menggunakan kekuatan minda anda. Ia adalah prosedur yang menyeronokkan dan santai tetapi sangat powerful. Bagi kebanyakan pelanggan saya, ini merupakan prosedur yang mengubah hidup mereka.
