Review ( Clinical Neurofeedback Training Malaysia for ADHD case) - Muhammad Takif Case

Client Name:  Muhammad T

Age: Around 10 years old

I am a mother also a teacher who faced a lot of difficulties in taking care of my son. 

Before following the clinical neurofeedback training sessions, my son will get angry very easily as he cannot manage his anger. He was quite aggressive and we cannot force him to do something that he does not like to do. Besides, he was unable to sit still and was fidget. 

During the course of training, he became more obedient like he was willing to tidy up his own toy and cleaned up the floor. He also showed other improvements like he was calmer and more relax. Besides, he tended to pay more attention when we were talking to him. He even can comfort and take care of his little brother. 

After 10 sessions of training, he can sit properly and no more fidgeting. 

Throughout the period, teacher tended to pay more attention and observed him as he need more care. His teacher also realized some improvements in his behaviors. After moving him into another class with less student, he showed more positive behaviors and he was less aggressive if compared to last time. 

In academic area, he can focus and pay more attention during teaching and learning. In addition, he managed to finish his school works and understood more easily about the concepts that he had learned. 

In curriculum, he became more active. He was willing to follow instructions during activity. He even represented his school in Nasheed Competition. 

In short, my son showed significant improvements after the training sessions with Hiro Koo.

Six Ways Developmental Trauma Shapes Adult Identity

Developmental trauma is more common than many of us realize. According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, 78 percent of children reported more than one traumatic experience before the age of 5. Twenty percent of children up to the age of 6 were receiving treatment for traumatic experiences, including sexual abuse, neglect, exposure to domestic violence, and traumatic loss or bereavement. 

Adults who suffer from developmental trauma may go on to develop Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or "cPTSD," which is characterized by difficulties in emotional regulation, consciousness and memory, self-perception, distorted perceptions of perpetrators of abuse, difficulties in relationships with other people, and negative effects on the meaningfulness of life.

Understanding these basic themes, which are often a result of dissociative effects on the traumatized personality, can help people recognize areas of difficulty so they can begin doing the work of recovery, repair, and personal growth.

1. Loss of childhood: "I never really had a childhood" or "I can't remember much from growing up."

2. Missing parts of oneself: "I've always felt like something was missing, but I don't know what it is."

3. Attraction to destructive relationships: "I'm the kind of person that always dates people who are bad for me." 

4. Avoidance of relationships: "I'm someone who is better off alone."

 5. ​Avoidance of oneself: "I don't like to think about myself; it only makes me feel bad."

6. Difficulty integrating emotions into one's identity: "I'm not the kind of person who has strong feelings about things."

Moving Forward

While it can be disheartening to read about the effects of developmental trauma in adulthood, and daunting to contemplate doing the work of recovery and identity formation beyond that of the traumatized self, therapeutic efforts are effective.

Recovery, grieving, and growth often take place over a longer time period than one would want, and re-connecting with oneself has many layers. Developing a sense that long-term goals are attainable and worth working toward is important, even if it doesn't feel possible or true. Working toward getting basic self-care in place is a vital first step, as is working toward feeling comfortable seeking help when trust in caregivers has been broken. Developing compassion for and patience with oneself can be difficult, but useful.

Tourette Syndrome Therapy Malaysia - Neurofeedback and Imagery Training

The Application and Efficacy of Combined Neurofeedback Therapy and Imagery Training in Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome

Two patients, aged respectively 14 and 16 years, had been treated with haloperidol and tiapride; however, this medication was ineffective and accompanied by intolerable side effects. 

In this study, the patients completed 80 sessions of neurofeedback treatment followed by imagery training. The patients were assessed with behavior rating scales both before and after the treatment as well as during follow-up examinations to evaluate the effect of the combined therapy. 

Patients showed significant improvement in motor tic and vocal tic symptoms, exemplified by a reduction in the frequency and intensity of tics, indicating that neurofeedback, together with imagery training, has a positive therapeutic effect on adolescent patients with medication-refractory Tourette syndrome.
