Abstract

This article suggests that clinicians as well as educators should employ simple and quick posture comparison techniques to shift awareness, elevate mood, and support cognitive function. The report examines the impact of a short somatic involvement technique that involved changing one’s body posture to reduce the effect of self-evoked memory of stress. Group observations of 90 men and 55 women, mean age 22.5 years, suggest that people were able to reframe stressful memories much more easily when in an upright posture compared to a slouched posture. They reported a significant reduction in negative thoughts as determined by a single factor ANOVA, F (1, 285) = 42.92, p = .001; and anxiety and tension as determined by a single factor ANOVA, F (1, 287) = 62.38, p = .001. We suggest that therapists and clients get up out of their chairs and incorporate body movements when either the therapist or the client feels stuck, in order to reduce rigidity and increase openness of thoughts and emotions facilitated, which may increase educational and therapeutic goals with sustained benefits outside of the classroom or clinic.

以体位意识转变思维提高治疗教学效果
这篇文章建议临床医生和教育工作者应该使用简单快速的姿势比较技术来转移意识、提升情绪和支持认知功能。该报告研究了一种短暂的身体参与技术的影响,该技术涉及改变一个人的身体姿势,以减少自我唤起的压力记忆的影响。对90名男性和55名女性(平均年龄22.5岁)的小组观察表明,与懒散的姿势相比,人们在直立姿势下更容易重塑压力记忆。他们报告说,通过单因素方差分析确定,消极想法显著减少,F(1285)=42.92,p=0.001;以及通过单因素方差分析确定的焦虑和紧张,F(1287)=62.38,p=.001。我们建议治疗师和客户在治疗师或客户感到被卡住时,从椅子上站起来,结合身体运动,以减少僵硬,增加思想和情绪的开放性,这可能会增加教育和治疗目标,并在课堂或诊所外带来持续的好处。

期刊介绍: NeuroRegulation is a peer-reviewed journal providing an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on clinically relevant research, treatment, reviews, and public policy for neuroregulation and neurotherapy. NeuroRegulation publishes important findings in these fields with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG), neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback), quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), psychophysiology, biofeedback, heart rate variability, photobiomodulation, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (rTMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS); with a focus on treatment of psychiatric, mind-body, and neurological disorders. In addition to research findings and reviews, it is important to stress that publication of case reports is always useful in furthering the advancement of an intervention for both clinical and normative functioning. We strive for high quality and interesting empirical topics presented in a rigorous and scholarly manner. The journal draws from expertise inside and outside of the International Society for Neurofeedback & Research (ISNR) to deliver material which integrates the diverse aspects of the field, to include: *basic science *clinical aspects *treatment evaluation *philosophy *training and certification issues *technology and equipment
