We're on TV - Astro小太阳《你好奇的事 III》(第3 集:催眠治疗师)


催眠师究竟有什么魔力控制别人的行为呢?


姿姿想尝试催眠珠珠
姿姿从电视节目上看见,当某人被催眠师催眠后,他会依照催眠师的指示做出不同的动作。姿姿很好奇催眠师究竟有什么魔力控制别人的行为。于是她就依样葫芦,拿起怀表在珠珠面前摇晃,尝试催眠她。珠珠不想当姿姿的试验品,于是就带她到Spectrum Of Life保健中心寻找催眠师Mr Koo解答疑团。

  


催眠师并不能控制人的行为
Mr Koo 说,很多人以为催眠师能控制别人的行为,其实是被电视节目或电影的剧情影响。事实上,催眠师并没有控制别人思想或者行为的能力。被催眠的人虽然看起来是在睡眠状态,但他的头脑依然保持清醒和有意识的。催眠是一种心理治疗的方法,催眠师会通过特殊的技巧引导被催眠的人高度集中注意力,进入放松状态,唤醒人的潜意识。然后催眠师就会从人的潜意识上进行调整,从而改善他们的情绪和习惯等等。


  



催眠治疗能对人们带来怎样的帮助呢?


催眠能治疗某些疾病、心理障碍和坏习惯
对催眠有了初步了解后,姿姿和珠珠对催眠治疗更感兴趣了。她们很好奇到底催眠治疗能对人们带来什么帮助。Mr Koo解释说,催眠治疗的范围很广泛,一些疾病或心理障碍都能透过催眠治疗而痊愈。例如某些人在面对外人时会产生恐惧,而出现口吃、心悸、脸红等状况,他可以透过催眠治疗来克服恐惧,提高自信心,令口吃、心悸和脸红的问题不药而愈。除此之外,催眠治疗也能帮助人们摆脱创伤、焦虑、强迫症、紧张、冲动等情绪。催眠还能帮助人回溯过去,透过催眠疗法能让人对某件事的认知进行调整。


  



催眠治疗并无危险性
姿姿和珠珠都曾经在电视上看见一些被催眠的人情绪不稳定而失控大哭,她们很好奇为什么会出现那样的状况。她们也很想知道催眠治疗会不会有危险。为了找出答案,她们再次去请教Mr Koo。Mr Koo说,催眠治疗是非侵入性的疗法,而且被催眠的人本身也有危险意识,所以催眠治疗并没有危险性。可是在治疗的过程中,某些被催眠的人会因为被唤醒过去伤痛的回忆,而产生强烈的情绪反应例如哭泣、焦虑或身体的挣扎等等。


  

  

姿珠侠女介绍催眠注意事项
在分享重要讯息的单元里,姿姿和珠珠向观众讲解一些催眠必须注意的事项。例如:进行催眠时被催眠者应穿上舒服轻便的服饰,脱下皮带、眼镜、外套等等以摆脱束缚。催眠之前也要适度进食,避免吃太饱或饿肚子,否则会引起肚子不适而影响集中力。成人在进行催眠前不可饮酒,以免思绪混乱导致注意力无法集中。患有精神分裂症不适合接受催眠治疗。

The Heart Exhibition 2014


How much stress do you live with and what is the cost to your health?
Stress is a normal part of life. 
But if left unmanaged, stress can lead to emotional, psychological, and even physical problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pains, or irregular heart beats.
 
 During the Heart Exhibition 2014, A series of free health screening events had performed by us.
 
  I am glad to know that awareness is being brought to people's attention!

Division 30 of the American Psychological Association - The Society of Psychological Hypnosis



About Division 30 of the 

American Psychological Association

Division 30 brings together psychologists and other professionals interested in scientific and applied hypnosis. Our mission is to educate the profession and the public, to develop new and innovative clinical interventions and research methods, and to evaluate current treatment approaches. These activities advance our knowledge about basic psychological processes and foster practices designed to improve human well being. Division 30 encourages research into the area of hypnosis and develops regional and national continuing education workshops on clinical applications of hypnosis. The Division publishes Psychological Hypnosis: A Bulletin of Division 30 three times a year. The Division sponsors awards for outstanding contributions to scientific and clinical hypnosis.

The Official Division 30 Definition and Description of Hypnosis

In 2014, the Division 30 Executive Committee prepared the following official definitions related to hypnosis:
Hypnosis: A state of consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness characterized by an enhanced capacity for response to suggestion.
Hypnotic induction: A procedure designed to induce hypnosis.
Hypnotizability: An individual’s ability to experience suggested alterations in physiology, sensations, emotions, thoughts, or behavior during hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy: The use of hypnosis in the treatment of a medical or psychological disorder or concern.

While there are substantial variations in theoretical understanding of these phenomena, the above definitions were created with an interest in simplifying communication regarding hypnotic phenomena and procedures within and between fields of research and practice, and so are intentionally largely atheoretical. This page will be updated to include additional discussion of the theoretical perspectives which allow greater insight into the nature and functioning of hypnosis.

Hiro Koo Kian Yong is one of the associate members of American Psychological Association (APA) Division 30 - The Society of Psychological Hypnosis (Membership #: 59610305).
