[Client Review] Intervention for relational trauma related concerns in Malaysia (BL Case)

 

Client's Review (Mr.BL)

I had difficulties accepting my past traumas in regards to my family and other relationships including myself. It affected my daily performance as my prior perspectives were not effective enough to help me be functional to carry out daily tasks to pursue my personal goals. 

Hypnotherapy helped broaden my perspective in a way condition myself to compassionately accept my past and see it a positive way as having a wider comfort zone going forward. As I started accepting and grow comfortable, I was able to open up to myself and others more which help me understand my behavioural and thought pattern more. This allow me to discuss and try out methods such as meditations, journaling, exercising regularly and eating healthily more consistently. 

With brain training (clinical neurofeedback), I saw my stress tolerance. Focus, thought processing, learning and sleep quality in more significantly. As I grew further into my practice, I am able to be more objective and make more rational decisions and increase my tolerance when there are thoughts overflowing, letting them pass like clouds.

This entire experience make me believe that if I take care of my mind and thoughts, I can be happy and healthy and I can achieve anything I set my mind to it. The more consistent I am incorporating there practice and habits, the more benefits I see in terms of being more open- minded and thoughtful to myself and others, balancing every day events and continue going forward even through difficult moments. 

This helped me to tune into my equanimity especially during these Covid-19 period and MCO, remembering my purpose and continue working towards by being flexible and having a strong belief system. Hence, how you perceive yourself and your environment will determine what you become.

 

在过去，对于家人和包括我自己在内的其他人际关系，我其实很难忍受过去亲情上所承受过的创伤。这些经历无疑影响了我的日常表现。。。然而，催眠疗法帮助我拓宽了视野，这使我自己能够更舒服坦然地接受我的过去，我也认为这是积极的方式，因此我向前迈进了更大的舒适区。当我开始接受并逐渐适应时，我能够更开放的面对自己和他人，这有助于我更多地了解自己的行为和思维方式。这使我可以讨论和尝试冥想，日记，定期锻炼和更健康地饮食等方法。通过脑部训练，我看到了我的压力承受能力。专注，思想处理，学习和睡眠质量更为显着。当我进一步练习时，我会变得更加客观，做出更理性的决定，并在思想泛滥时让自己更加宽容，让他们像云一样通过。整个经历使我相信，只要我照顾好自己的思想和想法，我就能快乐，健康，并且能够实现我所下定决心的一切。我在其中融入实践和习惯的方式越一致，就对自己和他人更加开放和体贴，平衡每天的事件并即使在困难时刻也能继续前进，就会看到更多的好处。这有助于我调适自己的镇定性，尤其是在这些Covid-19时期和MCO期间，记住了我的目标，并通过保持灵活性和强大的信仰体系继续朝着这个方向努力。因此，您如何看待自己和您的环境将决定您成为什么样的人。

Success Story (Depression and Insomnia - Miss T)

If you think you may have insomnia, ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you wake up during the night and find that you cannot fall back asleep? 
• Do you lie in bed, tossing and turning for hours each night? 
• Do you dread going to bed because you feel like you never get a good night’s sleep? 
• Do you wake up feeling unrefreshed after sleeping? 
• Does the problem occur even though you have the opportunity and the time to get a good night’s sleep? 
• You are suffering from depression?
• It takes you more than 30 mins to fall asleep?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you may have insomnia. If you’ve had insomnia for more than three weeks (chronic insomnia), consider booking an appointment with a therapist.
Let's me share a testimonial that I get from my clients, this real story tell you how she improve her insomnia problem after doing her clinical hypnotherapy and EEG biofeedback therapy with me.

.................................................................................................................................................................

My client: T (22 years old), primarily came to see me for her stress issues. She has been diagnosed with depression and was prescribed with the antidepressants as well as sleeping pill by her Psychiatrist. However, She stopped her anti depressant and sleeping pill after using them for 3 weeks as she felt that she could not sleep even with the sleeping pills and she feels a lot more blur and slow in response after the antidepressants.
Her problem has influenced her life since she was young until to the extend that she had to stop herself from continuing her study due to her lack in  focus and emotional issues.
Upon analyzing her unique brainwave patterns and her response toward clinical hypnotherapy, I found that most of her brainwaves pattern (especially those brain locations which associated with focus, logical thinking, verbal expression and attention span) is under-arousal/weak.

Her brainwaves pattern is the reason why she was having problem as below:

1. Depression symptoms
2. Self harmful thoughts
3. Insomnia
4. Bad sleeping quality
5. Negative thoughts
6. Inability to express confidently
7. Poor focus and attention span

Treatment Plan:
A customized self-hypnosis method was planned for her; She was guided on how to do self hypnosis effectively while her brainwaves was monitored. For the first session, 2 hours was spent with her to deal with her depression symptoms, negative thinking and self harmful thoughts issues.

Following is the result obtained:

After the first session, she confessed that it was the first time ever that she felt so calm and relaxed. She complied to practice her customized self hypnosis technique for positive thinking once a day until her next visit.
Two weeks later, the follow up session was carried out.
Following are the changes that she experiences after the 2 weeks practice of self hypnosis:

1. Positive thinking
2. More optimistic
3. More confident to speak
4. Ability to let go of past event
5. Begin to look forward for a better future
6. Less self harmful thoughts
7. Become less anxious and stressful
8. Become relax and calm 
9. Response speed increased

For her 3rd session, her objective is to improve her sleep quality and deal with her insomnia problem so that she can improve her overall life quality as well as her health condition. I guided her to do a customized self hypnosis technique for sleep and following is the result obtained:

During the session, she was able to fall asleep by doing her customized self hypnosis technique for sleep alone! As you can notice her Delta brainwaves for sleep increased after she did her self hypnosis technique (See the red cursor on the graph above) and her Hibeta was decreasing further too.

Upon the completion of the clinical hypnotherapy session, she came back to do EEG biofeedback therapy to improve her attention span and focus issue.
She shared her joy and improvement on the relevant issue. She found the following positive changes in her life after the therapy session:

1. Feel more motivated to live better
2. Easy to wake up in the morning, feeling refreshed
3. More alert 
4. Increase in the respond speed
5. Improvement in sleep quality (Able to sleep by doing customized self hypnosis and without the use of sleeping pill)

Remark:

Before she started the clinical hypnotherapy session, her depression screening test showed a score of 29 (Category: moderate to severe depression). After 3 sessions of clinical hypnotherapy, she now had a score of 9 (Category: none to mild depression).
