《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！

How can hypnotherapy heal trauma?

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.

Original article:

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.

Is hypnotherapy effective in treating trauma?

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.

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.

[Review] 创伤导向催眠治疗，改善自律神经失调反应 - Miss SY

Review from Miss SY:

曾经以为自己很坚强，控制情绪能力好。原来一直以来的控制只是在压抑在忍，没有好好管理，没有让情绪适当流动。情绪本来就不是像湖面那样平静，更没有一帆风顺；情绪就像海浪，有起有伏，要学会乘风破浪，做自己情绪的主人。 

去年发生了一些我很不希望发生的事情。事情虽然过了但接下来的我还是面临睡眠问题，睡醒来也是很紧张的状态，几乎每天都无缘无故泪流满面，紧张的状态也一直持续，对事对人都很敏感，有时觉得心跳很快，有时甚至觉得呼吸困难。我开始察觉我控制不了自己的情绪，这也大大影响了我的日常生活，对很多事情都不感兴趣，对亲密关系没有安全感。我也开始担心未来会不会还有更多不如意的事情会又让我陷入更深焦虑。因此我好奇想寻找我的行为背后的根源。 

我上网查询找到New Mind决定试试脑电波和催眠疗法。催眠不是什么魔法，是古老又先进的心理治疗或调节模式。最深刻的是老师引导我去寻找过去的自己，未治愈的自己。让我察觉到自己内在的声音需要被聆听，也学会安抚内在的小孩。在老师的引导下渐渐发现自己的抗压视窗变大了，懂得怎么管理情绪允许它们的流动，更懂得怎么正视内心的声音，拥抱内在的小孩，让他重新长大。表达能力也提升了，也学会设定边界，亲密关系的质量也大大提升。 感谢生命中发生的一切让我有机会来到New Mind遇见Dr Hiro 开始了有趣的自我探索之旅。大脑真的很神奇，每一堂课后都像是一次又一次的醒悟，对自己有了更深层的了解，不断提升心灵上的成长。这种成长是言语表达不出来也摸不着的东西。每个人都可以拥有属于自己的力量和温柔，只是需要被启发，找到真我，活出自我。

*The Tree-Drawing Test: Left as Before treatment (February) and Right as After treatment (September)。

Dr Hiro的话：

个案其实已经忘了原来半年前（2月）曾经画过一颗树。潜意识的语言可以说是图像，从树木状态的变化，我们依稀可以窥探见她潜意识层面的蜕变。她觉察到今天（9月）所画的树，充满了生命力，也更稳固和开花结果了。树木也找到了中心点，不再被左右。这相呼应她在review中所提及的感觉与体验,即"渐渐发现自己的抗压视窗变大了，懂得怎么管理情绪允许它们的流动，更懂得怎么正视内心的声音，拥抱内在的小孩，让他重新长大。表达能力也提升了，也学会设定边界，亲密关系的质量也大大提升。"
