Hypnotherapy as a professional occupation in the National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS) Malaysia

Hiro Koo, the clinical hypnotherapist from New Mind Brain Health Centre, is the first one who get approval to list and develop vocational training pathway for the title of "Hypnotherapy" in the National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS) under the Department of Skills Development (DSD), Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia.

 

Another wonderful news after the PASS of my PhD Viva Oral Exam. After more than one year of active discussion with Malaysia government relevant bodies, finally I received another PASS for the approval of creating and developing the “hypnotherapy” course standard according to the National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS) for the Malaysia local field.

It is a historical movement for hypnotherapy field in South East Asia as Hypnotherapist will be a formal recognized professional occupation in Malaysia context!

It is really tough process, but I am glad that I manage to overcome all the obstacles. However, it is just a start…now we need to develop the NOSS standard for the Malaysia field, it may take quite a long time…but better then do nothing.

Believe it or not, It is not for me, it is for the field. I hope to create more recognition for my profession! Reason? I love hypnotherapy. Thanks for my hypnotherapist peers who support me along the journey.

 

花了超过一年的时间，终于得到政府机构首肯，终于可以开始创建国家催眠专业标准，让催眠治疗在马来西亚，甚至是东南亚第一个被国家职业标准（NOSS）认可的专业职业！真的让我无比兴奋！虽然只是证书班，但已经是好的开始！至少以后证书等级不再只能依靠英国的催眠NOS标准去制定课程了，马来西亚也即将会有自己的催眠治疗标准了

然而整个制定标准的过程耗时耗力，还需要多方专才协助。可能还需要很多时日才能制定出国家标准证书课程。所以我的催眠文凭Diploma课程还是会照着已经成熟的英国National Occipational Standard(NOS)水准去执行。

朋友问我为何要做这种吃力不讨好的事，做出来的催眠标准又不是我一个人用的，是给整个催眠专业field共享。我的理由很简单：不怕慢只怕站，我希望催眠治疗的训练与课程可以越来越专业，越来越受认可，让更多人受益。

还有，我真的很爱催眠啊！

 

 

#催眠以后也是国家认证的专业职业

博士答辩顺利通过了！

花了4年的时间半工半读博士学位，就是等待这一刻。

接下来做了一些论文修正，然后等明年的毕业典礼，拿到毕业证书后，我就算正式完成博士学位了。

我的博士研究是有关焦虑、亚健康精神状态、脑波反馈疗法、催眠疗法和表达艺术治疗。我读博的愿景是希望可以推广潜意识与创伤导向心理调整技术和亚健康精神状态的疗愈(Subclinical Mental Health Care)。

四年前参加督导的一个表达艺术治疗工作坊，督导和我一见如故，就盛情邀请我跟她读博，让我可以研究催眠、表达艺术治疗和脑波反馈疗法。在这四年博士生涯中，她教会了我很多，也从来不放弃我，一直循循善诱我如何把做人的德行和论文做好。四年博士生涯即将告一段落，对我来说最有价值的并不是Dr Koo这个title，而是在读博的历程中，我了解到了如何更好的做人、如何更好的接纳自己、做好自己的角色。同时，我又可以将潜意识导向学术推广出去。

谢谢北大UUM，谢谢内在潜意识里的那个受伤了但永不放弃的Ah Yong，谢谢我的次人格保护者Hiro,谢谢你给我强大的力量，谢谢爱的家人朋友同学们给我的爱和信任。也谢谢我的个案，你们大家给的鼓励很可贵。谢谢你们成就了我Hiro这个角色。

 

#讲真的我还是觉得不可思议
