【马来西亚自律神经失调调理工作坊Dealing with Dysautonomia Workshop】参加者回馈Testimonial




几年前我就对自律神经失调这个症状有深厚兴趣。有自律神经失调症状的个案确确实实感觉得到辛苦与不适感,然而却探访了许多西医后,无法查出病因;最常见的自律神经失调症状就是:
#心悸#肠胃问题#头晕头疼#呼吸困难#不知名疼痛#失眠等等

首先,这个失调症状其实并不是主流疾病,所以是没有确诊的法门的,不需要在寻寻觅觅了。

如果你有这个症状,或许更恰当的想法是把它当成为你潜意识的呼救声(在脑波检测报告中可以发现,患者Alpha波通常特别强;Alpha脑波是沟通身与心的主要桥梁)

虽然它不是病,但是延误治疗却会慢慢形成真的疾病如抑郁症与焦虑症等等。我有听闻过不少因为查无病因,身边的人又不理解(他们最常被批判的就是“心理作用”),因无法忍受痛苦而失去工作,渐渐失去生命热忱,甚至选择轻生的个案。

今次,开办的 #工作坊 环绕的主题便是【自律神经】,为大家解析相关的点滴,也会教导实践性的技巧去调节自己的状态。

有兴趣参与下一场【自律神经失调调理工作坊】的话,欢迎联络我们: 0167154419 (Whatsapp)



来听听一些出席过这个工作坊的参与者有什么话想跟大家分享:


SK:
This workshop has benefited me greatly. I experienced my emotional ups and downs and I have learnt pay more attention to my emotional management. Through the workshop I realize how emotion can affect one’s personality and behavior. It also taught me the appropriate way to release my inner feelings and emotion. As for hypnotherapy, the therapeutic voice recording (by Hiro Koo) and music has helped my mind to stay calm; I was also able to relax and fall asleep. I am very grateful toward New Mind Brain Health Centre for the workshop. I sincerely thank them.

TBK:
这个工作坊让我发现小时候的创伤而形成今天的我。是一个很好的内在探讨,深入了解自己的工作坊。我看到自己的内在小孩需要得到的父爱,陪伴,及拥抱。在催眠中也圆满了这个功课。了解到大脑对我们情绪的影响,也学到如何掌握自己的情绪。深心感觉到这工作坊是目前这动荡的社会所需要的。感谢,祝福。

Yuki:
            记得去年开始,恐慌越来越严重,已到了每天都会发作的性质。身心已开始不能再承受了。终于踏出了我的第一步去寻求治疗。感恩上天让我遇见催眠治疗师和脑电波反馈治疗法。通过这些治疗,让我感到越来越良好。也学习到如何面对恐慌症的发生,也能找到了我创伤的根源。更高兴的是,我能感觉到已遗失很久的愉快的情绪,我的笑容是真心发自内心的。
            当我出席这个“新思方程式之内在疗愈”的工作坊,很惊讶的发现原来我们大脑里的潜意识如此的奥妙,会引导我们去做出选择而面对自己当下的情绪。工作坊让我再一次看清楚自己的内心,指引着我应该走的路。
            老师的讲解与细心的教导,让我学习到如何加强自己的coping skill。当严重的恐慌发作时,我一次比一次的应对到。

Ann L:

            I had serious insomnia for years. As a result, I could not perform well in my daily life, especially at my work. At first, I tried sleeping pills. Then I relied on alcohol. Gradually, I became dependent on them which negatively affected my health. I had also tried other alternative ways to improve my sleep condition but to no avail, until I stumbled upon hypnotherapy. After a few sessions of hypnotherapy, I began to realize that I am able to sleep easier. It is truly amazing! I could not believe that hypnotherapy resolved my sleep problems which I had been suffering from for years. I can live a normal life now; I can get into sleep at night easily and wake up fresh in the morning. My energy level increased as the quality of sleep improved. Hypnotherapy is truly effective for me. I am glad that it is a natural and safe method that was able to address my condition without resorting to any medication. Even after most of my symptoms were treated, I strongly believe that hypnotherapy can also help me maintain a healthy lifestyle.

[Review] Dysautonomia Treatment in Malaysia - R.T Case


Client Name: R.T



Before starting my hypnotherapy session with Hiro, I was emotionally unstable like a time bomb that can go off anytime. I have all the symptoms of dysautonomia that Hiro showed us on a slide in a workshop.

Dysautonomia (or autonomic dysfunction) is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not work properly.. My Stress Anxiety and Depression(DASS) test score was all in the SEVERE category.  I am tired all the time and no amount of sleep and nap seems to help.This has severely affected my work and family life, which both were very dear to me.

My whole family was in the wellness business but TCM , organic foods and nutrition supplements did not helped much. I started my self-help/ spiritual journey around the age 18(i'm now 35), but none of the things I learned in the past seems to help, instead they worked as a weapon as a high(almost impossible to meet) standard to judge against myself.

After struggling for about 2 months, my family members finally suggested that I seek for external help, just like a doctor cannot do operation on himself, maybe I too, have reached a point where self-helping doesn't work anymore.

Hiro created a safe environment which I was able to start sharing my situation without feeling judged and criticised. This helped tremendously because I felt like finally being understood, and that there are others that has gone through similar paths that I have, I'm not alone and I have hope to recover.

Everything I received in the sessions was personalized and customized to meet the person that I am at the moment, never did I felt I was pushed too hard or being offered something that I don't actually need. Hiro really does have a deep understanding of my situation, and has multiple ways to handle things that came up in the sessions.

I was noticing significant improved sleep quality after the 2nd week of my session. Which lead to improved emotional stability. My family members seemed to be more at ease around me instead of fearing that I would burst anytime like a bomb. Things just kept getting better and better after each session. I was getting less and less triggered by events that used to make my goes BOOOM. Every session there was something deeper that was being discovered and dealt with, each session was purposeful and meaningful, and I received clear concise action plan that I can work on before the next session. Never did I felt that time or energy was wasted during the whole 2~3 months working with Hiro and his team of well trained staff.

Today I am about 80~90% free of all the symptoms that I have prior to working with Hiro. I feel so lucky and grateful to have found Hiro and hypnotherapy, many people that did not make it in their journey and took their own life, and many more that are still struggling with guilt,grief,pain and hopelessness. Without the support of Hiro and his team, my recovery could take probably 2 years to a lifetime instead of 2~3 months.
Recovery can be speedy when we find the tools that works, Hiro and his team certainly knows how to make them not only work, but work on a personal and customized way for people like us.

I hope that my story can give you some courage and motivation to seek help from a trusted professional(such as Hiro).

什么是自律神经失调?在马来西亚如何治疗?




几年前我就对自律神经失调这个症状有深厚兴趣。有自律神
经失调症状的个案确确实实感觉得到辛苦与不适感,然而却探访了许多西医后,无法查出病因;最常见的自律神经失调症状就是:心悸、肠胃问题、头晕头疼、呼吸困难、不知名疼痛和失眠等等。

首先,这个失调症状其实并不是主流疾病,所以是没有确诊的法门的,不需要在寻寻觅觅了。如果你有这个症状,或许更恰当的想法是把它当成为你潜意识的呼救声(在脑波检测报告中可以发现,患者Alpha波通常特别强;Alpha脑波是沟通身与心的主要桥梁)。虽然它不是病,但是延误治疗却会慢慢形成真的疾病如抑郁症与焦虑症等等。我有听闻过不少因为查无病因,身边的人又不理解(他们最常被批判的就是“心理作用”),因无法忍受痛苦而失去工作,渐渐失去生命热忱,甚至选择轻生的个案。

至于检测方式;首先客户来见我前,我都会让他们先到诊所做身体检查,确认没有疾病状况。然而主流医学是无法检测出自律神经失调的(99%来见我的客户都看完了所有市面上可以进行的身体检查,99%全都查无病因才来见我的)。国外最被广泛推广来探测自律神经失调症状的就是心率检测仪。我也接触过这个检测仪器,但是给于我用以制订治疗方案的讯息是有限的。在多年探索与研究下,我发现运用脑波科技可以让我更深入了解个案的自律神经失调症状之外,也可以透过检测窥探大脑功能性问题探索出个案自律神经失调的主要疑似根源(创伤、对于疾病的过度关注、抽离现实状态、气急、失眠、压力、与其他等等因素)。

而在我临床经验中发现,不是所有自律神经失调的人都有理层面问题的。有的可以是体质问题(营养失调与重金属),有的是生活失去重心(哀伤状态),还有一类型就是个性使然(生气问题,急性子和生活不规律)。

至于疗法方案;副交感神经复健方案就是:临床催眠疗法,表达艺术治疗与创伤治疗法门。而提升交感神经的方法除了等待其自行康复外,营养咨询师进行食疗与脑波反馈疗法都可以起到事半功倍的效果。目前来说,只有客户愿意配合,成功率是非常高的,九成的客户都有非常显著的改善。

如果你在看见身边有人遇到这个查无病因的问题,不要再告诉他们:“想开点,放下,不要心理作用,要坚强点”这些话了。也不要给他们太多建议,你只会把他们越推越远而已。因为,你给的建议他们早已知道,就是做不到才痛苦的嘛

Autonomic Dysfunction Treatment Malaysia

What is the autonomic nervous system?


The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls several basic functions, including:
  • heart rate
  • body temperature
  • breathing rate
  • digestion
  • sensation
You don’t have to think consciously about these systems for them to work. The ANS provides the connection between your brain and certain body parts, including internal organs. For instance, it connects to your heart, liver, sweat glands, skin, and even the interior muscles of your eye.
The ANS includes the sympathetic autonomic nervous system (SANS) and the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system (PANS). Most organs have nerves from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
The SANS usually stimulates organs. For example, it increases heart rate and blood pressure when necessary. The PANS usually slows down bodily processes. For example, it reduces heart rate and blood pressure. However, the PANS stimulates digestion and the urinary system, and the SANS slows them down.
The main responsibility of the SANS is to trigger emergency responses when necessary. These fight-or-flight responses get you ready to respond to stressful situations. The PANS conserves your energy and restores tissues for ordinary functions.

Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction

Autonomic dysfunction can affect a small part of the ANS or the entire ANS. Some symptoms that may indicate the presence of an autonomic nerve disorder include:
  • dizziness and fainting upon standing up, or orthostatic hypotension
  • an inability to alter heart rate with exercise, or exercise intolerance
  • sweating abnormalities, which could alternate between sweating too much and not sweating enough
  • digestive difficulties, such as a loss of appetite, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or difficulty swallowing
  • urinary problems, such as difficulty starting urination, incontinence, and incomplete emptying of the bladder
  • sexual problems in men, such as difficulty with ejaculation or maintaining an erection
  • sexual problems in women, such as vaginal dryness or difficulty having an orgasm
  • vision problems, such as blurry vision or an inability of the pupils to react to light quickly
You can experience any or all of these symptoms depending on the cause, and the effects may be mild to severe. Symptoms such as tremor and muscle weakness may occur due to certain types of autonomic dysfunction.

Coping and support

Finding support to help you cope with autonomic dysfunction can be just as important for improving quality of life as managing physical symptoms.
Methods for coping and improving quality of life include the following:
  • Depression can occur with autonomic dysfunction. Therapy with a qualified counselor, therapist, or psychologist can help you cope.
  • Ask your doctor or therapist about support groups in your area. They’re available for different conditions.
  • You may find that you have more limitations than before your diagnosis. Set priorities to help you make sure you’re doing the things that are important to you.
  • Accept help and support from family and friends if you need it.
  • Ask for help if you need it.

What is Neurofeedback/EEG Biofeedback?
Neuro = brain & Feedback = information given back to you
Neurofeedback treats a variety of conditions in a safe and effective manner because it works at the subconscious level. It creates changes in the brain by creating new electrical activity through a process of measurement and reinforcement.* Quite simply, one is reinforced for changing their brain waves at a subconscious level through the use of computers. The brain learns to self-regulate, which calms the nervous system, reducing or eliminating symptoms. Without self-regulation, many problems of the central nervous system can result – Lack of Focus, Anxiety, Depression and Physical Symptoms, to name a few.* Neurofeedback is successfully used to treat ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Stress, Emotional Distress, Behavioral Issues, Mood Issues, Pain, Lyme, PANS/PANDAS, Headaches, Concussion, TBI and a variety of other issues. Almost any brain, regardless of its level of function (or dysfunction), can be trained to function better. These changes are lasting.

Therapy for Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) in Malaysia

What is PoTS?

  • Postural          position of the body
  • Tachycardia   increased heart rate
  • Syndrome     a combination of symptoms

Postural tachycardia syndrome is an abnormality of the functioning of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. To be diagnosed with PoTS, an individual must experience a group of symptoms in the upright position (usually standing) that are relieved by lying down. A persistent increase in heart rate of 30 beats per minute (40 bpm if under 19 years of age) should be recorded within ten minutes of standing. Blood pressure (BP) does not always drop in PoTS.
Patients can be very disabled by their symptoms.  Fortunately, for many patients, symptoms will improve with a combination of life style changes and medication.  However some will have problems over many years.
Many health care professionals do not know that PoTS exists and so may not think of the diagnosis.  If you think you may have this condition, it may help to take a printout of information from this website to your appointment.


The Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) is an abnormality of the autonomic nervous system (sometimes called ‘dysautonomia’). The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is in charge of all bodily functions that we don’t have to think about, such as:
  • Heart rate and blood pressure regulation
  • Digestion
  • Bladder control
  • Sweating
  • Stress response
The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system. It produces the ‘fight or flight’ or ‘stress’ response. When activated, a chemical called norepinephrine is released. Amongst other things, this causes an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.

Treatment for PoTs  in Malaysia?
The Autonomic Nervous System has two branches, the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic, which regulate the involuntary processes of the body, the viscera, and sense organs, glands and blood vessels. In evolutionary terms it is older than the CNS and its anatomical circuitry is broadly dispersed, creating a general response, quite unlike the highly specific pathways and response of the CNS. This generalised, widely distributed structure enables it to mediate overall changes in state; it is part of the limbic system which has also been known as the mammalian or emotional brain.

When a person looks at the world, he or she is confronted with an overwhelming amount of sensory information—sights, sounds, smells, and so on. After being processed in the brain's sensory areas, the information is relayed to the amygdala, which acts as a portal to the emotion-regulating limbic system. Using input from the individual's stored knowledge, the amygdala determines how the person should respond emotionally—for example, with fear (at the sight of a burglar), lust (on seeing a lover) or indifference (when facing something trivial). Messages cascade from the amygdala to the rest of the limbic system and eventually reach the autonomic nervous system, which prepares the body for action. If the person is confronting a burglar, for example, his heart rate will rise and his body will sweat to dissipate the heat from muscular exertion. The autonomic arousal, in turn, feeds back into the brain, amplifying the emotional response. Over time, the amygdala creates a salience landscape, a map that details the emotional significance of everything in the individual's environment.

Recent brain research indicates that it is possible to talk to the amygdala, a key part of the brain that deals with certain emotions. The inner mind is concerned with emotion, imagination and memory as well as the autonomic nervous system which automatically controls our internal organs. By talking to the amygdala, an experienced clinical hypnotherapist can relax the autonomic nervous system shutting down, or curtailing the trigger that sets off secretion of the adrenal and pituitary glands. This gives the body an opportunity to rebuild its immune system in many chronic illnesses. 
By using the technique of neuro-hypnotherapy Malaysia, we can peek into the brain region which associated with the regulation of amygdala now. It is safe, painless, non-invasive and no side effect.


"The mind is like an onion. The outer layer, or conscious mind, deals with intelligence, reality, and logic. The inner mind is concerned with emotion, imagination, and memory, as well as the autonomic nervous system which automatically controls our internal organs (i.e., how we breathe, send oxygen to our blood cells, or walk without using the conscious mind.) The internal mind is on autopilot, reacting to the dictates of the pleasure principle. It seeks pleasure and avoids pain" (Warren, 2003, pp. 175-6).
It is these characteristics that make hypnosis a highly effective therapeutic tool in dealing with a wide spectrum of mental and physical disorders. When a clinical hypnotherapist is doing hypnosis, the amygdala is turned down. The clinical hypnotherapist can actually relax the autonomic nervous system, shutting down the usual "fight, flight, or freeze" response and curtailing the trigger that sets off secretion of the pituitary and adrenal glands. This gives the body a chance to build up its immune system and reduce trauma (Frank and Mooney, 2002) in many chronic illnesses (i.e., irritable syndrome, bulimia, cancer, high blood pressure, and Parkinson's disease.) Even the Wall Street Journal (Friedman, 2003) has documented how hypnosis has entered the mainstream and is using trance states for fractures, cancer, and burns and speeding recovery time.
