We are deeply grateful to see the work of New Mind Brain Health Centre featured in the March edition of Batik Air Malaysia inflight magazine. The article highlights our integrated approach from an organizational psychology perspective, combining Neurofeedback (brainwave self-regulation training) and Hypnotherapy (working with unconscious processes of mind) to support people dealing with work stress, early signs of burnout and cognitive overload. Our work focuses on self-regulation, resilience and prevention, and complements, rather than replaces, medical or psychological treatment. 

Platforms like Batik Air’s inflight magazine allow these conversations about brain health and preventive mental well-being to reach a wider audience across Malaysia and beyond, helping more people understand that mental health is not only about treatment, but also about early regulation, sustainable performance, and long-term well-being.

Thank you Batik Air

Unlocking the Power of the Mind: A Glimpse into Applied Hypnosis at HELP University

Unlocking the Power of the Mind: A Glimpse into Applied Hypnosis at HELP University

Today was an exciting day at HELP University, I introduced psychology students to the fascinating world of Applied Hypnosis!

The highlight? A 10-minute hypno suggestibility test that left everyone wide-eyed in amazement 😲. In just a few minutes, students observed real physiological responses driven by unconscious processes—proof that the mind is far more powerful than we often realize.

The room was buzzing with curiosity. Students asked thoughtful questions, challenged common misconceptions, and explored the science behind hypnotic states. It wasn’t just about therapy—it was about understanding the brain, enhancing mental flexibility, and applying these skills in everyday life, personal growth, and even future careers.

Many participants were so captivated that they inquired about courses in hypnosis—a clear sign that the next generation of hypnotherapy practitioners and mental health innovators is already taking shape.

If you're curious about how hypnosis works, want to master practical mind-body techniques, or explore a unique and meaningful career path in mental health and personal development, our Professional Certificate in Applied Hypnosis could be your perfect first step.

Discover the Healing Power of Hypnotherapy in Cancer Care: A Natural Way to Manage Stress, Surgery, and Treatment Side Effects

Discover the Healing Power of Hypnotherapy in Cancer Care: A Natural Way to Manage Stress, Surgery, and Treatment Side Effects

 

Pink presentation slide: Integrating Hypnotherapy in Cancer Care, attributed to Koo Kian Yong, PhD, President AHPM

When you're facing the challenges of cancer treatment, both physically and emotionally, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. While traditional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are necessary, they often bring along intense stress, anxiety, and difficult side effects. That’s where hypnotherapy can make a real difference—helping you find calm, resilience, and comfort when you need it most.

As a complementary therapy, hypnotherapy works alongside your medical treatments to improve your overall well-being, reduce discomfort, and empower you throughout your cancer journey.

A Personal Message from Dr. Hiro Koo

Hello, I’m Dr. Hiro Koo, a trauma-informed hypnotherapist. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with many cancer survivors, helping them overcome emotional and physical challenges with hypnotherapy. Recently, I was honored to be invited by the Traditional and Complementary Medicine Department to speak on this very topic, where I shared how hypnotherapy is transforming the lives of patients during their cancer treatment.

Every day, I see how hypnotherapy helps my patients regain a sense of control over their bodies and emotions—whether it’s preparing mentally for surgery, managing treatment side effects, or simply finding a space of calm during an incredibly stressful time.

Let me walk you through how hypnotherapy can complement your cancer treatment and support your healing journey.

How Can Hypnotherapy Help You During Cancer Treatment?

1. Easing Stress and Anxiety

A cancer diagnosis is life-changing, and the stress and anxiety that follow are often overwhelming. Hypnotherapy offers a space where you can deeply relax, allowing your mind and body to release tension and stress. By addressing the emotional toll of cancer, we can help reduce anxiety levels, leaving you feeling more in control and peaceful during this challenging time.

2. Supporting Pre and Post-Surgery

Facing surgery can bring up a lot of fear and uncertainty. With hypnotherapy, I help patients mentally prepare for surgery by guiding them into a calm, focused state that reduces anxiety and enhances the body’s natural healing response. Post-surgery, hypnotherapy aids in pain management, speeds recovery, and helps patients regain a positive outlook as they heal.

3. Alleviating Treatment Side Effects

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy, while critical to fighting cancer, often come with side effects like nausea, fatigue, and pain. Hypnotherapy combines with the cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy approach, we offer a natural way to manage these side effects, helping you feel more comfortable and better equipped to handle your treatment. Through guided visualization and relaxation techniques, we can work together to ease the discomfort and improve your overall well-being.

4. Building Emotional Resilience and Cope with Traumatic Stress

Cancer is not just a physical journey; it’s an emotional one too. Hypnotherapy helps you develop inner strength and emotional resilience, which is vital for coping with the ups and downs of treatment as well as the potential traumatic stress responses. Whether it’s managing fear, sadness, or frustration, hypnotherapy can empower you to stay positive and strong, even when things feel tough.

The Science Behind Hypnotherapy in Cancer Care

You might wonder how hypnotherapy works in the context of cancer care. Research has shown that hypnotherapy can help reduce stress, anxiety, and pain, making it a valuable tool in cancer treatment. It’s widely recognized in integrative oncology programs around the world for its ability to improve patient outcomes by enhancing emotional and physical well-being.

I’ve seen firsthand how patients feel more empowered and at ease when hypnotherapy is part of their treatment plan. By working with your subconscious mind, we can create positive changes in how you respond to stress, pain, and discomfort—making your cancer treatment journey more manageable.

Ready to Learn More About Hypnotherapy for Cancer Care?

If you’re interested in how hypnotherapy can complement your cancer treatment and help you manage stress, anxiety, surgery, or side effects, I’m here to guide you. 

Cancer may be a challenging chapter in your life, but you don’t have to face it alone. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to support your body and mind throughout treatment. Let’s work together to improve your well-being and bring more peace and comfort into your life.

Hypnotherapy services, including work that supports people in medical settings, are outlined on the New Mind services page.

National Occupational Skills Standard for Hypnotherapy (NOSS Hypnotherapy) Malaysia

National Occupational Skills Standard for Hypnotherapy (NOSS Hypnotherapy) Malaysia

The National Occupational Skills Standard for Hypnotherapy Vocational Education in Malaysia has been officially established and launched! This is believed to be the first nationally accredited hypnotherapy vocational education standard in Asia. In the future, obtaining this national accreditation will involve either traditional skill training education (2400 hours, with approximately 70% being practical training in applied techniques) or Recognition Prior Experience, a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of previously acquired knowledge and work experience.

I was excited upon receiving this news. I recall in 2021 when I took the initiative to discuss this proposal with government officials. Back then, simply gaining acceptance for the term "hypnotherapy" took numerous discussions over a year and a half, which was a mentally exhausting process. At that time, almost everyone advised me against dreaming big and getting involved in so many matters.
However, I firmly believed that this was an essential aspect to garner greater recognition for hypnotherapy in Malaysia.
Gradually, more and more people joined our cause, including a group of excellent professionals from various backgrounds (career counselors, clinical psychologists, medical doctors, educational psychologist, developmental psychologist, HR experts, social workers, etc.) who also possessed hypnotherapy experience. They became involved in the designated this hypnotherapy vocational education standard process. We referenced hypnotherapy education standards from countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, while adapting to local culture and needs. With the support of the Malaysian government, we have finally completed this vocational standard for hypnotherapy education!
I am truly thrilled and honored to be part of this milestone for the hypnotherapy profession!



《熱愛生命系列讲座3.0》你的世界,我们懂:「为心理的大脑淤青开刀工作坊」

《熱愛生命系列讲座3.0》你的世界,我们懂:「为心理的大脑淤青开刀工作坊」

 




上周六,我很荣幸再次参加了由循人中学学生扶轮团主办的「熱愛生命系列讲座3.0」。这个活动的口号「你的世界,我们懂」,深深触动了我。因为对于我以及许多深受复杂性创伤影响的人来说,被“理解”有时候就足够了。更令人鼓舞的是,“理解”并不一定要来自外界,自己理解自己也同样重要,它可以帮助我们减少自责和羞愧,为自己创造更多的选择。这也是我选择将我的演讲主题定为「为心理的大脑淤青开刀」的原因。我坚信,心理教育是一种具有疗愈效果的方法,可以帮助改善公共健康领域的问题。

这场讲座对我来说是一次非常特殊的经历,因为主持人是青少年,而听众则包括了大众和学生们。然而,主持人毫不怯场,让我感到非常安心。在活动中,有一些小瞬间深深地触动了我:

*首先,活动开始前,我看到了黄老师与学生之间的对话,感受到了老师循循善诱和给予鼓励的幕后付出,这一切都显得非常真实和感人。

*其次,由于我的治疗工作,我晚了一些才能参加活动。但是,学生们并没有感到慌张,反而很从容。黄老师还关心地询问我是否需要吃点东西,这让我感受到了温暖。这一刻仿佛提醒我,我也需要停下来关照自己。

还有一个令我印象深刻的瞬间是,活动的心理辅导师黄玉玲老师询问了我主持人的年龄,一个是14岁,另一个是17岁。这瞬间让我回想起了高中时代的回忆。在独中时,我最快乐的时光就是代表协会组织活动,这为我打下了很多关于组织社团、学习和团队合作的基础。看到这些孩子们不仅有机会学习如何组织活动,还能提前接触身心健康知识,我相信他们一定会受益匪浅。这也是我高中时期觉得缺少的一部分,我为今天能够为公共精神健康领域贡献一份力而感到高兴。我坚信,如果大众更深入地理解复杂性创伤,我们可以预防更多人陷入严重的心理问题。

最后,在活动结束时颁发电子感谢状的时候,大家为我带来了一个非常感动的时刻。几位中学生一起用接力的方式演绎了歌曲《有你就幸福》,这让我深受触动。这种互动和呈现是如此真实和真诚,我可以深切地感受到“无私的爱”这一精神。仿佛我内心的大爱之火也被点燃了,我希望能够传递更多的爱和关怀!

Facebook post from APA Division 30 about hypnotherapy for trauma, with an orange graphic of sunglasses showing spiral lenses

Recently, I read the sharing from APA Division 30 about how hypnotherapy improves the symptoms of trauma. It has truly enlightened me about something I have believed in and practiced for years. I hope to share this article with you all too.

APA Division 30 is formally known as the American Psychological Association's Division of Psychological Hypnosis. It is one of the divisions within the American Psychological Association (APA), which is the largest professional organization of psychologists in the United States. Division 30 is specifically focused on the study and promotion of hypnosis and its application within the field of psychology.




Hypnotherapy induces a state of deep relaxation, which may be useful for healing from trauma.

Trauma is a universal human experience. A traumatic event may involve anything from interpersonal abuse to a natural disaster to the sudden death of a loved one.

When people struggle to process traumatic events or experiences, it can lead to certain mental health conditions or symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, flashbacks, and more.

Hypnosis, also called hypnotherapy, is a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. It’s a type of mind-body treatment for trauma.


A trained and certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist guides you into this deep state of focus and relaxation with verbal cues, repetition, and imagery.

When you’re under hypnosis, this intense level of concentration and focus may allow you to ignore ordinary distractions and be more open to guided suggestions to make changes to improve your health.”

Through the help of a hypnotherapist, you may be able to heal certain symptoms related to trauma you’ve experienced.

Certain studies have shown hypnotherapy to be helpful in the treatment of trauma symptoms, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in some instances.

A meta-analysis of six studies on hypnotherapy found that hypnotherapy significantly reduced participants’ PTSD symptoms of intrusion and avoidance. Regardless of the nature of the trauma, participants who received hypnotherapy experienced a reduction in their symptoms.

However, not all studies used the same type of hypnotherapy, which compromised the findings.

Another study found that hypnotherapy can help reduce insomnia in those with combat-related PTSD. In fact, the study found that hypnotherapy, as an additive treatment, decreased intrusive and avoidance symptoms of PTSD and improved sleep.

Researchers have also found that hypnotherapy may be able to reduce depression symptoms. A study comparing the effectiveness of cognitive hypnotherapy, which is hypnosis combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), versus CBT alone, found that cognitive hypnotherapy was more effective in reducing depression, anxiety, and hopelessness.

8TV八度空间的《活力加油站》分享催眠疗法如何预防和舒缓心理压力

8TV八度空间的《活力加油站》分享催眠疗法如何预防和舒缓心理压力






今天我受邀到8TV 八度空间的《活力加油站》分享催眠疗法如何预防和舒缓心理压力。在我看来,催眠疗法可以作为其中一项帮助预防全面发展成精神疾病的辅助疗法。这是因为通过处理心理社会因素和采用跨诊断方法(Transdiagnostic Approach),它能间接或直接的改善一个人的心理健康状况。要知道不是有精神疾病才需要帮助,适当的身心与压力管理也很重要。

催眠疗法在我国其实也受到重视,目前我们催眠领域也正在与卫生部的传统与辅助医学部门进行着一系列国家认证相关审核工作,希望一切成功与顺利,未来催眠疗法也有更完善的国家教育系统与管制。
除了分享我的催眠和脑波生物反馈技术,我还在上节目前咨询了几位精神卫生专员探讨如何更恰当的呈现采访内容,并希望通过节目提醒提供辅助疗法的专业人士,适时转介那些疑似面对严重精神疾病症状或出现轻生念头的个案给其他精神卫生专员,或者寻求精神科医生、临床心理师或辅导员的合作。Do no harm的原则真的非常重要。

Today I was invited to share on 8TV's "Living Delight" about how hypnotherapy can prevent and alleviate psychological stress.
In my opinion, hypnotherapy can help prevent full-blown mental illness or work as a complementary therapy alongside standard mental healthcare such as psychiatric treatment. This is because by addressing psychosocial factors and taking a transdiagnostic approach, it indirectly helps improve one's mental health condition.
Hypnotherapy is actually being taken seriously in our country, and our hypnotherapy field is currently undergoing recognition appraisal by the traditional and complementary medicine departments of the MOH. We hope for success and smoothness in these efforts, and for there to be a more complete national education system and government regulation for hypnotherapy in the future.
In addition to sharing my expertise in hypnotherapy and EEG biofeedback techniques, I also consulted with several mental health specialists before the show. Through this program, I hope to remind other professionals who offer complementary therapies to timely refer cases with suspected serious mental illness symptoms or suicidal ideation to other mental health specialists, or seek the collaboration of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists or counselors. The principle of "Do no harm" is truly essential.
为何创伤知情催眠治疗可以帮助预防精神疾病?How can trauma-informed hypnotherapy help in preventing mental illness?

为何创伤知情催眠治疗可以帮助预防精神疾病?How can trauma-informed hypnotherapy help in preventing mental illness?



创伤知情催眠治疗(Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy)在预防精神病症(mental illness)和改善风险因素(risk factors)方面有以下几个优势:
  1. 降低焦虑和压力:许多研究表明,长期的焦虑和压力是导致精神疾病的常见风险因素之一。催眠治疗可以通过深度放松和改善情绪状态来减轻焦虑和压力,从而减少患精神疾病的风险。

  2. 改善睡眠:睡眠障碍是许多精神疾病的常见症状之一。催眠治疗可以帮助改善睡眠质量,减少夜间醒来和失眠等问题,从而有助于预防精神疾病的发生。

  3. 增强自我意识和认知控制能力:自我意识和认知控制能力不足也是导致精神疾病的常见风险因素之一。催眠治疗可以通过加强自我意识和认知控制能力来帮助个体更好地控制自己的情绪和思维,从而降低患精神疾病的风险。

  4. 提高心理韧性:心理韧性是指个体面对压力和挑战时的适应能力。催眠治疗可以帮助个体培养更强的心理韧性,从而在面对挑战时更加坚韧和自信,减少患精神疾病的风险。

总之,催眠治疗可以通过降低焦虑和压力、改善睡眠、增强自我意识和认知控制能力以及提高心理韧性等方面的作用,有助于预防精神疾病和改善精神健康的风险因素。


Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy has several advantages in preventing mental illness and improving risk factors:

Reduce anxiety and stress: Many studies have shown that long-term anxiety and stress are common risk factors for mental illness. Hypnotherapy can reduce anxiety and stress by promoting deep relaxation and improving emotional states, thereby reducing the risk of mental illness.

Improve sleep: Sleep disorders are a common symptom of many mental illnesses. Hypnotherapy can help improve sleep quality and reduce problems such as waking up at night and insomnia, thus helping to prevent the occurrence of mental illness.

Enhance self-awareness and cognitive control ability: Insufficient self-awareness and cognitive control ability are also common risk factors for mental illness. Hypnotherapy can help individuals better regulate their emotions and thoughts by strengthening self-awareness and cognitive control ability, thus reducing the risk of mental illness.

Increase psychological resilience: Psychological resilience refers to an individual's ability to adapt to stress and challenges. Hypnotherapy can help individuals cultivate stronger psychological resilience, making them more resilient and confident in the face of challenges and reducing the risk of mental illness.

In summary, Trauma-informed hypnotherapy can help in preventing mental illness and improve risk factors for mental health by reducing anxiety and stress, improving sleep, enhancing self-awareness and cognitive control ability, and increasing psychological resilience.



什么是创伤导向催眠疗法?它跟常见的催眠疗法有何不同?为何学习创伤导向催眠治疗?

什么是创伤导向催眠疗法?它跟常见的催眠疗法有何不同?为何学习创伤导向催眠治疗?

很多人问我:Dr Hiro, 请问什么是创伤导向催眠疗法?它跟常见的催眠疗法有何不同?为何要学习创伤导向催眠治疗?

首先,创伤导向疗法又称创伤知情疗法。创伤学,此学说专注于探索一个人发展史中的创伤经验,了解他们如何间接或直接导致目前的身心状况或亚健康问题。不管是童年创伤或者是成人后所发生的创伤事件,都可以造成一个人的生理、心理、情绪甚至是自律失调等问题。除了我们常听说的车祸、性侵和虐待等,自然灾害、健康危机、疾病、囚禁、军事事件、财务上的危机、见证亲朋戚友病危或离世等都可以造成创伤。不少人都有创伤经历,但大脑却让我们麻痹了伤痛和回忆,导致你甚至不觉得自己依然面对着创伤问题。我的临床经验发现,许多人的创伤甚至不是自己经历,而是来自见证别人的伤痛后而形成的替代性创伤。不是只有被诊断成创伤后遗症的人才会被创伤所困扰。实际上,几乎所有人都可以因为这些过去了的压力(创伤)依然储存在我们的身心里,导致我们出现不同层面,大大小小的问题。哪怕是一些小毛病,长久下去也会造成许多身心甚至人际关系问题。现代社会,几乎所有人都面对着各种压力,当然也有许多过去了的压力效应,悄悄地留在了我们身心层面上,导致了创伤问题。

而我们的课程,创伤导向催眠疗法,就是基于创伤学说而研发出现。我们希望面对大大小小创伤的个案,可以更有效、安全和安心的疗愈,从而找回自己,我们的真我。不再只是生存,而是也可以用”慈悲、好奇心、勇气、自信、创意、平静、洞察力、和社交连接“的态度开始自在生活。

没有被消化的创伤,往往会在我们的生理、心理甚至关系上引致问题。
常见的创伤触发反应包括:
  • 用”外物“如赌博、喝酒、毒品甚至性爱来”麻痹“创伤导致的身心反应,从而上瘾;
  • 出现”一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳“的恐惧反应;
  • 僵化的思维、行为或信念;
  • 强烈避开某些与创伤事件相关的人事物之意愿;
  • 无缘无故出现的恐慌反应;
  • 自律神经失调反应;
  • 多恶梦;
  • 常常出现扰人清幽的念头
  • 其他心理疾病相关症状


学习创伤导向催眠治疗的好处:
  1. 找回心理安全感-创伤导向催眠疗法会让你学会各种创伤知情催眠疗法与自我催眠技术,让你帮助因为创伤而长期处于没有安全干的个案,渐渐找回安全感;
  2. 创伤知情教育让个案找出问题根源-让个案更了解自己为何出现某些身心问题的导因甚至根源问题,有了觉知就可以更踏实的去应对;
  3. 学会找出创伤触发点的技术-创伤导向催眠治疗将会教导你各种潜意识探索工具,让你更有效地找出个案的创伤触发机制,并引导个案如何去处理之;
  4. 学会实用创伤知情催眠技术,教导个案改善创伤导致的身心状况-你将学会各种身心调整科技,帮助个案更好的调整他们目前棘手的身心状况,甚至教导个案各种创伤知情自我催眠技巧,让个案也可以学习自我疗愈技术,大大提升疗愈体验与满意度;
  5. 学会应对技术,预防新创伤的发生-找出身心创伤根源问题后,我们也可以教导个案新的应对技巧(如沟通和脾气管理等)去克服根源问题,从而更好地避免未来的创伤或再创伤反应;而对于那些无法面对创伤的案例,也无需勉强探索过去,我们其实也可以透过教导个案学会“现在式”创伤应对技巧(Present-focused approach)来帮助更好的应对创伤触发反应。
  6. 催眠能善用潜意识,疗愈消化创伤反应-因为催眠疗法本身就能善用潜意识疗愈问题的原理,我们可以更快速有效的消化储存在大脑潜意识里的创伤机制与反应。因为许多面对创伤的生还者,理性上都知道该怎么理性的去解决问题,但往往却被大脑潜意识所控制而感到身心层面的失控感;
  7. 更容易由衷的聆听并尊重创伤导致的身心反应-往往身边的人甚至说道者,都爱说个案的创伤反应是想太多,是不理性或不够正能量所致。学会了创伤知情催眠疗法,治疗师将因为创伤知情的知识,而能更自然的去同理、尊重与真正理解到个案的各种身心反应,从而让个案可以在感觉更安心与不被批判的环境下疗愈。



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

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!
 
 

 

 

 

Panic Attack Treatment Malaysia

Panic Attack Treatment Malaysia


Anatomical chart comparing parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system effects on body organs

Hiro Koo:
From my clinical work, I notice that most of my clients who suffer from autonomic nervous dysfunction symptoms such as panic attack or Irritable bowel syndrome tend to experience self-induced (hypnotic) trance states. Most of them show a certain type of brainwaves activity and they can be triggered and activated the fear response easily.

Dissociation is also known as a 'self-induced (hypnotic) trance states' or 'altered states of consciousness'. The sensations of dissociation are many and varied. They can easily experience the following dissociative sensations:




  • Sensitivity to light and sound 
  • Tunnel vision 
  • Feeling as if your body has expanded so that it feels larger than normal 
  • Feeling as if your body has shrunk to minute proportions 
  • Stationary objects may appear to move 
  • Driving a car and suddenly realise you don't remember what has happened during all or part of the trip 
  • Listening to someone talk and realise you did not hear part or all of what was said 
  • Sometimes sit staring off into space, and not being aware of the passage of time
People who do dissociate have had this ability since childhood, although many people have forgotten they were able to do this as children. This ability can be activated once again as an adult as a result of a major stress and/or not eating or sleep properly. 
For example, People who have panic disorder are not aware of how they can 'trance out' so easily, and they can then panic when they move into an altered state. 
Some people with panic disorder are frightened of their ability to dissociate, other people are not. One of the easiest way people can induce a trance state is when they are relaxed and/or when they are staring : out of the window, driving, watching TV, reading a book, using the computer, when talking with someone. Fluorescent lights can trigger a trance state, so too can self-absorption. The more absorbed we become, the more we can induce a trance state. 


Hiro Koo:
I notice that 'self-induced (hypnotic) trance states' happens to most to the clients who suffered from the symptoms of the autonomic nervous dysfunction. Thus, clinical hypnotherapy can help you to utilize your trance state in a proper and positive way. By doing clinical neurofeedback, it can help you to feel more in control as well.

If chest pain or difficulty breathing is new, severe or does not settle, call 999 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Support for panic-related difficulties is discussed on the New Mind services page.
