APNA Asia Pacific 5th Neurofeedback Conference 2023 - Neurofeedback, Developmental Trauma, Special Education - Expert Panel and Paper Presenter

I’m proud to be one of the panelists and presenters for the APNA Neurofeedback Conference 2023. Our theme this year is all about neurofeedback, developmental trauma, and special education. I feel so good to be back in my hometown, Johor Bahru, to share knowledge about neurofeedback with the audience from all around the Asia Pacific Region. This marks my 10 years of practicing neurofeedback, and witnessing more and more young practitioners join the field sparks joy. I no longer feel alone when there are so many professionals such as clinical psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, pediatricians, neurologists, child psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, and more who joined the conference this time. I notice the majority of us are shifting from a “machine”-oriented approach to a more “humanistic” one, attuning to individual needs. It really touches my heart to see these changes.

[Industry Guest Lecturer] A Heartfelt Appreciation: My Experience as an Industry Guest Lecturer at Universiti Tenaga Nasional

 

Being invited to share my industry experience at Universiti Tenaga Nasional was an immense honor, and I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity. On August 14, 2023, I had the privilege of addressing the students of Introduction to Social Psychology (SPYB113), and I must say it was a truly enriching experience. Interacting with the bright and enthusiastic students was incredibly rewarding. Their thirst for knowledge and their eagerness to learn was evident throughout the lecture. It's heartening to see such a passionate generation ready to tackle the challenges of the future. I aimed to provide a unique perspective on the industry's challenges and opportunities, and I'm delighted that my insights resonated with the students. Education is not just about textbooks; it's also about real-world experiences and practical wisdom, and I hope that my lecture contributed to their holistic understanding of social psychology.

I'm inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication of both the students and the faculty at Universiti Tenaga Nasional. I hope to continue inspiring and educating the youth with my knowledge and experience, and I look forward to the possibility of future collaborations. Once again, thank you for this incredible opportunity, and I'm excited to see the bright futures that await these students.

《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！
