Eating Disorders
(Including Anorexia and Bulimia)Symptoms of AnorexiaBy Toby Goldsmith, M.D., Sue Craven, Ph.D. and John M. Grohol, Psy.D.
05-Oct-2005
Right now, 1 percent of all American women -- our sisters, mothers and daughters -- are starving themselves; some literally starving and exercising themselves to death. Eating disorders are becoming an epidemic, especially among our most promising young women. These women and girls, whom we admire and adore, feel a deep sense of inadequacy and ineffectiveness. Anorexia nervosa is a confusing, complex disease that many people know too little about.

Alcohol/Substance AbuseSYMPTOMSAbuse of alcohol or a substance (such as cocaine, nicotine, marijuana, etc.) is generally characterized by a maladaptive pattern of alcohol or substance use leading to significant impairment or distress, as manifested by 1 or more of the following, occurring within a one year period:

Recurrent substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home (e.g., repeated absences or poor work performance related to substance use; substance-related absences, suspensions, or expulsions from school; neglect of children or household)

Recurrent alcohol or substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (e.g., driving an automobile or operating a machine when impaired by substance use)

Recurrent alcohol or substance-related legal problems (e.g., arrests for alcohol or substance-related disorderly conduct)

Continued alcohol or substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of alcohol or substance use (e.g., arguments with spouse about consequences of intoxication, physical fights)

The symptoms must also have never met the criteria for Alcohol/Substance Dependence for this class of substance or alcohol.

Those who are able to easily say 'no' to a drink have changed their relationship with alcohol so that they no longer crave what it promises. Hypnosis can be effective for escaping from the alcohol trap because it helps you make those changes 'deep down' to get rid of the drives that keep pushing you to drink. Using hypnosis, alochol can lose its hold over you remarkably quickly.

企業給新人的見面禮 讓新手變老鳥 文章來源：管理雜誌 | 文│丁永祥

對大多數管理者來說，找到人才是一項最困難的挑戰﹔但更重要的，就是讓新員工適應工作環境，才能確保他們能把工作做好，為企業創造價值。

招募好員工是學問，讓好員工能發揮戰力更是一種藝術，企業該如何做呢？答案就從新人培訓的第一天開始。

 

台中某家化學原料製造商在新聘的技術員報到的第一天，發給他厚厚一疊工廠安全守則，沒多久就要技術員在上頭簽字，技術員為了加快報到流程，當然也很快地簽字完成手續。

這道新人報到的關卡根本沒發揮效用，因為只重形式，技術員可能連看都沒看就簽字。

中國有家直銷公司，董事長要每個新人第一天就從別人的胯下躦過，他說：「受得辱中辱，方為人上人，這是我們的企業文化。」很多新人被這道「手續」嚇一跳，第一天就辭職走人。

這位董事長想用創新的方式讓新人體會企業文化，卻得到反效果，因為方法很「另類」，但完全沒有顧及到新進員工的感受。

新員工報到，企業要處理的有兩個面向，一個是技術面，讓新人快點上手，在最短時間內就作戰位置，創造價值。另一個是情感面，希望新人第一天就把公司當家，把同事當家人，能夠激發熱情與投入度，深化工作內容的品質。

該怎麼做呢？其實非常簡單：技術面的部份，搞清楚新人會有哪些需求，企業要「一項一項」沙盤推演，並且「按部就班」設計培訓內容；情感面的部份，則像對待媳婦過門一般，消除新人緊張的情緒，讓他們很快地能適應新環境。

下面是全球許多知名企業針對新進員工的做法，一個企業好不好，其實新員工入職的第一天就能感受到。

新浪網新員工的第一天
 

新浪網是中國知名的入口網站，員工報到的第一天，入計培訓計畫就正式啟動。

負責入職培訓準的人資部門主管，會準備好兩個資料袋，一個裡頭裝著新員工第一天所有需要用到的資料：包含勞動契約、職務說明書、服務手冊、新員工入職嚮導，以及職業道德和反欺詐行為準則說明書。另一個牛皮紙袋，則是可能用到的辦公文具：筆筒、資料架、剪刀、膠水棒、筆記本和筆。

其中最特別的，主管還會帶著兩張小卡片，一張是新員工可能用到的同事電話簿，一張是公司信箱的用戶名，還有密碼。

當新員工閱讀契約書的空檔，主管就在一旁開始檢查新員工的學歷證明、離職證明等文件，然後，會仔細介紹契約書上需要員工填寫和注意的地方，契約的每一頁都被掃描並貼到PPT上。需要員工填寫的地方用綠色標注出來。

有些重要的資訊是主管會特別說明的，例如帳戶開通、各種保險手續，新員工會根據PPT的指引，把人資部門需要的檔案影本按順序排好，然後放回資料袋，交給主管。

一周內，新浪的新員工會收到人力資源部的郵件，通知他們接下來要參加的培訓課程，另外，還會收到製作成數位光碟培訓的內容，所有流程清清楚楚，而且確實執行，不重形式，也絲毫沒有浪費一分時間。 【完整內容請見《管理雜誌》429期】

成功轉型 飯糰小攤 變身特色小店 文章來源：理財周刊 | 文．林靜雯 攝影．鄭暐琪

美食映象公司副總經理王宜芳提供一個轉型成功的案例，位於五股工業區的「紫米極糰」飯糰店，從路邊攤變成特色小店，不但業績翻漲3倍，產品更加多樣化，兩代之間的感情也更融洽。以下為「紫米極糰」改造前與改造後的對照。

「紫米極糰」本來沒有店面、沒有店名，只在7-11便利商店旁的騎樓上擺了兩張小桌子就賣起飯糰來，因為飯糰的種類多、口味也不錯，受到附近上班族的喜愛。

騎樓擺攤 停車位做飯糰

由於老闆韓諸國一家人就住在7-11樓上，為了節省開店成本，他將住家空間騰出一半用來製作飯糰材料，然後他「很有創意」地在地下室自家的停車位上，擺了做飯糰的工具，交由老闆娘做飯糰。老闆則在停車場的出口附近，擺了兩張桌子叫賣包好的飯糰。若客人點的口味現場沒有，老闆會以無線電呼叫在地下室的老闆娘包飯糰，包好之後再拿到騎樓給客人。

因為來買飯糰的都是附近的上班族，時間集中在早餐及午餐時刻，老闆娘常因訂單太多做不出來，焦急的老闆常因此跟老闆娘發生口角。

美食映象公司就位在飯糰攤附近，總經理李惠德因為喜歡吃這家飯糰，進而跟老闆熟識，李惠德看了看老闆自己寫的價目表，雖然字體工整，但他還是忍不住說：「老闆，我送你一張價目表，好不好？」就從這裡開始，李惠德萌生了替飯糰攤改造的想法。

三角窗出租 萌生改造契機

當時剛好對面的三角窗要出租，李惠德建議老闆去試試看，但打聽之下聽說那塊地租金要價16萬元，老闆打了退堂鼓。李惠德告訴老闆，沒有租出去，表示16萬元的租金只是參考，他要老闆去跟地主談談，看他願不願意用低一點的價格出租。

後來，與地主談到7萬元，但老闆仍猶豫不決，李惠德知道後，納悶地問：「你已經談到很漂亮的價錢了，為什麼還不租？」這時老闆才透露：「我每月也才做20至30萬元，租金就要7萬元，還是太高。」

李惠德覺得這是飯糰攤改頭換面的大好機會，便很阿沙力地說：「我用2萬元租下你屋頂的空間，等於幫你分攤2萬元；店面的屋頂我負責找人來登廣告，這樣你的租金就剩5萬元，應該可以租了吧？我保證你租下來之後，業績至少成長3倍！」

老闆聽了很感激，兩人準備去簽約時，地主意外地願意降價，願意用5萬元租給他們，夫婦倆非常高興。租下來之後，就由美食映象公司負責設計規劃。

定名紫米極糰 改用1字型流程

美食映象副總經理王宜芳說：「從命名到企業識別體系(CIS)再到內部空間規劃，全部以他們的主要食材『紫米』為主，因此幫他們命名為『紫米極糰』，選用紫色為識別顏色。內部空間狹長，因此將工作檯設計為1字型，流程也採用從攤頭到尾，一關、一關地接下去，客人就沿著工作檯排隊，這樣做起來又快又不會打結。」

裝潢、施工完成後，紫米極糰只發了傳單並針對招牌產品促銷3天，便出現排隊人龍，老闆說：「我現在跟我老婆不會吵架了，因為根本沒有時間！」

第二代認同 感情更融洽 不僅如此，從來不過問生意的第二代，竟然主動幫忙，老闆認為，兒子對這個家有了認同感，才願意幫忙。面對大改造，老闆娘說：「動線改了，幾天就習慣了；只是太忙一直不習慣！」

顧客陳先生就說：「現在看起來很乾淨、很有規模，不像以前要等很久，又好像不太衛生的樣子，所以現在我常常來吃，他的口味很多，現在又推出壽司及便當，真的很不錯！」

紫米極糰的營業額果然如李惠德所料，大幅成長3倍，據記者估計，每個月約有60~70萬元的收入，盈餘約2~3成。

王宜芳說：「紫米極糰本身就有明星商品，算是技術人員創業，去除保守傳統的心態，在遇瓶頸時交由專業人員協助，很快就能擺脫困境，開創出不一樣的空間。」……【完整內容請見《理財周刊》493期，請至各大連鎖書店/便利商店購買，或訂閱理財周刊紙本雜誌】

房價高漲，對於市井小民的我們好嗎？
從前的生活宗旨就是要維持生活要過得～無憂～無慮～無壓力～

買房子並未出現在我人生list中！
年少瘋狂時，總認為背房貸太自虐，

等到貸款繳清房子也舊、人他老了，不如把錢拿去租好一點的房子甚至住飯店，住膩了馬上可以換一間！

看看小時侯的我多麼天真單純...呵呵

隨著身心智逐年的增長，對購屋的想法有了些微改變，

這幾年開始留意房地產的資訊，雖然仍未有實際行動，但多看多聽多準備總是千古不變的道理！

在媒體上、從主政者口中，對於房市回春，房價上漲，多半樂見其成，似乎認為這代表著經濟繁榮、政績卓越，還會聽到台灣房子不應該這麼便宜，房價被低估太委屈了，未來房市一定會好的說法，似乎把房地產熱絡與社會進步生活品質提升畫上等號，偶有對於無殼者或年輕人購屋負擔加大的問題提出討論，總也只是小篇幅的平衡式報導，少為主流意見。
 
房價上漲，對於大多數人而言，真是個好消息，還是壞消息，會不會真的出現常聽到的財富效果，帶動民間消費，增強內需，推升經濟成長，這值得多一點思考與討論。
 
房價上漲，對於個人而言，是利或弊，要看個人的資產水準而定。
 
對於大多數的升斗小民，終其一生，通常只能買得起一棟房子，即使在隨著工作年資增加累積儲蓄之後進行換屋，也還是只能持有一棟較大或條件較好的房子。這類型的人，佔社會的絕大多數，房價上漲時，對於其個人的財富效果會有限，但是負面的替代效果卻很大。
 
舉例來講，2003年時，台北市40坪的公寓、每坪25萬、總價一千萬的房子，算是標準家庭的住房，以一般公教人員的所得來看，努力一生，扣除幾十年的生活開銷，應該還有機會存到錢擁有一棟房子自住。
 
到了2008年，同樣的房子，若是漲到每坪50萬、總價兩千萬，對於相同的族群而言，要買到與幾年前相同條件的房子，便要額外節衣縮食數十年，或者排擠掉其他的花費，或者只能選擇改買坪數較小、或是離市中心較遠的房子，這樣情況下來看房價上漲，就沒有任何財富效果，卻有很大的替代效果，將原本可以花在其他方面的個人消費或投資，全都改為堆積在同一棟房子，而個人終身的享受或福祉，卻根本是下降的。

 How does hypnosis feel?
Since hypnosis is a natural state of mind, clients are often surprised that they hear every word. Unless one enters a deeper state, or at least a medium state, he or she may not "feel" any different than when relaxing in the favorite easy chair with a good book. One may feel quite mellow, and may feel light (or weightless), or very heavy as if sinking into the chair. If one enters a really deep state, the feeling may be euphoric for some, or almost like being intoxicated without the side effects. In a light state, it is entirely possible for a client to believe that he or she was not hypnotized; so it is important for a Hypnotherapist to know how to competently handle the pre-induction discussion as well as the discussion after hypnosis.
There are certain abilities which are enhanced during the actual hypnotic process itself: (a) the ability to IMAGINE, (b) the ability to REMEMBER, (c) the CREATIVE abilities, and (d) RESPONSIVENESS TO SUGGESTIONS. Naturally, it is this last ability which creates the appeal of hypnosis to some and the fear of hypnosis to others. And before you go experimenting with hypnosis, be advised to seek competent "hands-on" training--or at the very least, invest in a quality Home Study course! Simply reading is not enough if you plan on facilitating hypnosis.

 Does a hypnotized person give up control
Do we give up control of our minds during a movie? When is the last time you got so involved during a movie or TV show that you actually felt emotion? You were literally in a hypnotic trance, although you still have the power to emerge from that state if desired. Your mind may be guided by a movie, TV show, self-hypnosis tape, or Hypnotherapist, but YOU still have the power to resist. Even though there are some people who seem to at least partially give up control of their minds, that is because of misunderstanding who has the power. Certainly one can be TRICKED into believing that he/she has "given up control" in some forms of stage hypnosis or other experiments--but does that make it right? I am part of the NEW ETHICS of hypnotherapy, perpetuating what my mentor taught me to disclose: "ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF-HYPNOSIS." Once people really understand this fact, they may enter deep states of hypnosis while still retaining the power to resist unwanted suggestions.
I proved this myself several years ago during a profoundly deep trance when the hypnotist suggested that I shave my beard. I brought myself right out of hypnosis and gave her a lecture on ethics that hopefully she will always remember.
Let's start informing people where the real power is--within THEIR OWN MINDS! And we can begin by no longer referring to people in hypnosis as "subjects." My own students are asked to use the following definitions for people in hypnosis:
CLIENTS = People hypnotized for self-improvement, etc.

What IS hypnosis?
Opinions vary on the exact definition of this natural state of mind. First of all, contrary to what is commonly believed by many, hypnosis is NOT a "sleep" state even though a person in hypnosis may appear to be sleeping. I prefer the way my late mentor, Charles Tebbetts, defined hypnosis, so let me quote his exact words as written in MIRACLES ON DEMAND (which is, unfortunately, no longer in print): "There is no legal definition of hypnosis. Webster's dictionary describes it incorrectly as an artificially induced sleep, but it is actually a natural state of mind and induced normally in everyday living much more often than it is induced artificially. Every time we become engrossed in a novel or a motion picture, we are in a natural hypnotic trance (p. 211-212)."
I totally agree with the theory Charles Tebbetts taught: ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF-HYPNOSIS, AND THE POWER IS IN THE MIND OF THE PERSON BEING HYPNOTIZED. So, in reality, the Hypnotherapist is more like a guide who facilitates the hypnotic process. Myron Teitelbaum, M.D., author of HYPNOSIS INDUCTION TECHNIQUES, came to the same conclusion--as is evidenced by what he wrote in the last two pages of Chapter 3: "The hypnotist is merely the guide who directs and leads the subject into the trance (page 18)."
Additionally, the common belief evidenced by research is that a person experiencing hypnosis slows down his or her brain waves from BETA into ALPHA--although some people believe that we may actually enter THETA during deep trance states. (THETA is normally the "dream" state we pass through on the way to and from DELTA--or deep sleep.) Be aware that since we must all pass through ALPHA on the way to and from sleep, we could easily say that all of us experience hypnosis at least twice daily. But in working with clients, I keep the explanation as simple as possible.
To me, the most accurate way of defining hypnosis is to simply call it "guided meditation." Since many of us enter a meditative or "trance" state while listening to music, watching TV, listening to a good speaker or a good sermon at church, or even while reading, you could say that the hypnotist does not even have to be a live person. So if hypnosis were ever outlawed, it would be virtually impossible to enforce, because we would have to stop the freedom of speech and freedom of press!

The cultural origins of the concept of hypnosis
The creation of a distinct concept of hypnosis owes its existence mostly to a charismatic 18th century healer named Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815).
Mesmer had a deep interest in Paracelsan astrological principles, and the supposed direct influence of heavenly bodies on human health, by means of what were believed by Mesmer and others to be measurable physical forces (as opposed to the subtle forces of later occult doctrines interpreting Mesmerism).
Mesmer first applied magnets to patient's bodies in elaborate theatrical rituals that often resulted in expected spasmodic muscular contractions and collapse, and often the cure of various kinds of illness. Mesmer favored the rationalist views of his time, taking on terms like gravitation and magnetism to originally describe his theories of his healing work, and how the subtle fluids within the body could be influenced by him.

Hypnosis
Hypnosis techniques are scientific and effective techniques that induce trance states to realize human potential.  By far and away, hypnosis can produce desired changes faster than any other method available. Hypnotic Induction produces a trance state which by-passes our normal block to suggestion.
Hypnotic Sessions have been used for years for a variety of conditions:
Speed up the learning process
Enhancing human performance
Irritable bowel syndrome
Nausea
Chronic pain
Enhance weight loss
Reduce addictions
Control behavior
Relax and de-stress
