都会佳人Citta Bella | Life Magazines 生活杂志 - 2017年10月刊Bella Soul 专栏之《心灵健康职场》

世界精神卫生日(World Mental Health Day)订为每年10月10日举行。这个活动主要是推广心理健康教育。在现今社会里，许多人都需要心灵鸡汤。心理咨询与催眠等行业近年来变得非常火热，然而大部分职场人士都碍于面子或害怕因为被标签为有心理问题而失去工作。世界心理卫生联合会表示，研究发现每5人当中就有1位在职场上的工作人士面对心理问题。这就是为什么今年的精神卫生日把主题设为“职场上的精神健康”。

该组织也表示，研究显示有10%的员工因为抑郁问题而请假，还有近50%的抑郁患者在没被帮助下继续工作。抑郁症的症状如无法集中精神，善忘，难做决定与失眠事实上严重影响一个人在工作上的表现。试想，这情况难道不会影响整个公司的业绩与表现吗？
世界村的形成与科技的演变，让商业竞争越来越激烈的同时，也导致工作与生活的分界线越来越模糊。有多少人曾经被电话电邮轰炸得喘不了气？有多少次你在约会时，埋头检查电话里的工作问题？殊不知业绩压力与永远忙不完的工作造成了许多身心问题。其中最常见的就是自律神经失调症状，比方说失眠，肠胃问题，头晕头疼，焦虑与抑郁问题等。这些“文明病”问题都在我的咨询工作中常常接触得到！大部分的个案因为这些问题而导致严重影响工作，甚至很多人都因此而失去了生计。

很多大型企业已经开始领悟到了精神健康的重要性。我常有机会被大型企业如银行机构邀请去给予身心健康与压力管理讲座。事实上，我期待中小型企业也开始有所行动。所谓预防胜于治疗，最好的方法就是先让公司员工了解抑郁症状为何，然后再鼓励大家用开明的态度去接纳心理情绪，其实心理问题就如生理病一样需要去被正视。在这里为你举例当抑郁症发生时可能会出现的症状，让你更了解自己与同事的心理状况：
（一）开始离开团队，孤立自己
（二）对于什么都没有参与感与兴趣 
（三）做事粗心大意，无法准时完成任务
（四）做事无精打采
（五）无法做出决定，生产力低
（六）迟到早退，每天都显得疲惫
（七）没有自信心
（八）没有动力工作
（九）不合理的情绪反应
 （十）外型改变（如突然爆瘦或肥胖）
如果你发现自己或同事符合了以上多项症状，希望你能让自己或鼓励公司里的同事勇敢的去接受心理咨询服务。让身边的人明白心灵生病了就如感冒发烧一样，需要去正视并接受治疗。给予同理心与无条件的支持，其实能让身边的人放心地去寻求治疗与帮助。拒绝批判与鄙视，重视身心健康可以从你开始做起。

1st Malaysian International Integrative Healthcare Conference 2017 - Clinical Neurofeedback by Hiro Koo

Thanks the Medical University CUCMS for inviting me to share my knowledge in clinical neurofeedback training with all healers Who come from UK, Australia, India and other Asia Pacific Region countries. I am glad to be part of the experts here to provide effective intervention plans for children with special needs.

Special thanks to my psychology assistant for helping me today.

Title: Clinical Neurofeedback: Brain training for children with special needs  

Abstract:

Human brain can be trained at any age and new neurons are produced throughout our life. The term of neuroplasticity is well accepted nowadays. Clinical Neurofeedback is based on the concept of neuroplasticity that trains the brain like a muscle. Clinical Neurofeedback is the clinical application of EEG Biofeedback method. It can be applied to some diagnosed (mental) conditions such as (ADHD, Autism, Learning Difficulties, Tics Disorder, Mood Issues). Clinical Neurofeedback is a form of tailored to individual needs training procedure used by trained practitioners to optimize various brain functions. This is essentially a way of teaching individuals on how to self-regulate their own brainwaves. It is safe, non-invasive and painless. A case study will be discussed on how Clinical Neurofeedback helps a child who diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder to reduce his autism symptoms and improving executive functioning. Different brainwaves profile of the various disorders will be discussed as well. We will also discuss about how Clinical Neurofeedback can effectively regulate different brainwaves profile of children who diagnosed with ADHD or for those who are having similar brainwaves pattern in order to reduce the undesirable symptoms of ADHD. At last, the heart of the potential of Clinical Neurofeedback to help manage Tourette syndrome and tics disorder will be discussed too.

Keywords:   Tourette syndrome, Tics Disorder, ADHD, Autism, Clinical Neurofeedback

[Event] Asia Pacific Neuro-biofeedback Association Conference 2017 - Autonomic Nervous Dysfunction Part

My presentation topic in APNA 2017 Conference:
Autonomic Nervous System Disorders

Abstract of My Presentation

Human brain can be trained at any age and new neurons are produced throughout our life. The term of neuroplasticity is well accepted nowadays. EEG biofeedback or neurofeedback is based on the concept of neuroplasticity that trains the brain like a muscle. Clinical Neurofeedback is the clinical application of EEG Biofeedback method. Meanwhile, Clinical Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals to improve a wide range of conditions including physical and mental aspect. Both are safe, non-invasive and painless procedure. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, autonomic nervous system (ANS) disorders can occur alone or as the result of another disease. When something goes wrong in our autonomic nervous system, it can cause serious problems including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), blood pressure and heart problems etc. Often, there is no cure for autonomic nervous system disorders but it is possible to improve those symptoms. Thus, a case study will be discussed on how Neuro-hypnotherapy method helps a client who suffered for ANS disorder symptoms. At last, we will also discuss about how to integrate Clinical Neurofeedback and Clinical Hypmosis to improve other ANS disorder symptoms.
