[Review] Slow Learner Intervention & Training Program in Malaysia - Lai Case




Lai is having slow learner issue. For years she could not find any help. 

During the Senior Wellness Exhibition at Viva Mall November, 2014, she visited Spectrum of Life booth and did a Brain Assessment. 20 sessions of Brain Trainer was advised for her. 

Within 10 sessions she could see great results. 
She is now more alert; concentration and focus were a lot better than before, memory improved, sleeping quality improved drastically, and anxiety level reduced comparatively. 

These observations were made physically by herself and her parents. The post brainwave assessment showed great results too.

[Event] Public health talk: Alternative treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at LPPKN








We have been invited to give a talk about alternative treatment for Autism. 
Special thanks to Lembaga Penduduk dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN) for the invitation.

Today psychologists know that autism is a problem in the way the brain works, not in how people are raised. That discovery has led them to develop medical, educational and behavioral approaches to treatment. Autism is a brain disorder that often makes it hard to communicate with and relate to others. With autism, the different areas of the brain fail to work together. Most people with autism will always have some trouble relating to others. But early diagnosis and treatment have helped more and more people who have autism to reach their full potential.

Yes, EEG Biofeedback is very useful for ASD.
Reports from caregivers of people with autism suggest people have witnessed improvements in a variety of areas including speech and irritability after EEG biofeedback training. A few scientific reports have highlighted that a demonstrated increase in social interaction may be seen in child with autism following treatment. One study suggested that parents who noticed an improvement continued to see the benefits for at least a year after EEG biofeedback. We know from other studies that the brainwaves of children with autism may well be different in many ways to the brainwaves of their non-autistic peers (www.psychologytoday.com).

Other kind of therapies include:
Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration Therapy, Speech Therapy, Complementary and Alternative Treatments such as special diets, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), acupuncture, homeopathic medicine etc.

[Exhibitor] National Cancer Survivors Day 2015


I am here and I care!

It is an honour to be invited to participate in National Cancer Survivors Day 2015 which organized by the National Cancer Society Malaysia. Managing mental health needs is a crucial part for cancer patients or survivors. My role today is to provide brain assessment, support and treatment advice if necessary. 

There is a healthtalk on how the clinical hypnotherapy able to help cancer patients and cancer survivors. In fact, clinical hypnotherapy has proven to be extremely valuable in the treatment of cancer. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective for decreasing chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in children with cancer. 

Indeed, hypnotherapy is an effective supplement therapy in the management of terminally ill cancer patients in a hospice setting. It is useful in addressing: 
(1) management of anxiety, depression, anger, and frustration; 
(2) management of pain, fatigue, and insomnia; 
(3) management of side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy; 
(4) visualization to promote health improvement. 
By successfully addressing these areas, studies have shown that hypnotherapy improves the individual quality of life and life expectancy. Further, there is a quantifiable cost savings to the hospital in terms of reduced medication and need for medical care.
One of the most well-known techniques involves the use of “positive mental images” of a strong army of white blood cells killing cancer cells. One 10-year follow-up study involving 86 women with cancer showed that a year of weekly “supportive/ expressive” group therapy significantly increased survival duration and time from recurrence to death. Postoperative complications and hospitalizations for the hypnotic intervention group are significantly shorter than the norm.

You can read this review:
"Hypnosis for Cancer Care: Over 200 Years Young" - The goal of this review was to summarize the empirical literature on hypnosis as an integrative cancer prevention and control technique. We have reviewed where hypnosis has strong support for its efficacy (surgery and other invasive procedures), where it holds promise (weight loss, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, metastatic disease), and where more work is needed.
Neuro-hypnotherapy is first of its kind in Malaysia developed by myself by combining technology (EEG biofeedback) and art of science (Clinical Hypnotherapy) which is best of two worlds. 
Feel free to contact me for a free brain assessment session.
