At a special clinic at Fudan University's Children's Hospital, psychologists who specialize in "learning challenges" work with boys and girls struggling with mental and emotional issues, rather than turning "slackers into straight-A students." 

"A significant part of what we're doing here is to help the family grow," said Dr Zhu Daqian, head of the psychological department.

Since the opening of the clinic in 2020, it has assisted more than 1,500 students in identifying the root cause of their difficulties. Two-thirds of them suffer from neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), while others struggle with mental issues.

In the second part of her interview with Shanghai Daily, Dr Zhu talks more about the prognosis and treatment, how online learning affects patients, and what parents can do if they think their children may have emotional problems.

During Shanghai’s two-month lockdown, Corentin Delcroix’s home-cooking vlogs have been a source of comfort. On Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, the French chef is known by his Chinese name Guangtan, and has 1.33 million followers. 
Fluent in Chinese, he has since 2019 posted more than 550 vlogs of Chinese and Western cuisine. During lockdown, those forced to cook at home flocked to Delcroix’s channel to pick up some kitchen skills, while others found him “therapeutic.”

Local artist Liu Yi has been putting the pandemic lockdown into good use, recording and collecting ‘the melodious and striking’ chirping of birds. He believes it has therapeutic value, helping people relax and cope with stress.

只需勇敢，无需多言

You are what you think. This age-old adage refers to how thinking differently can help you transform your life.

In his new book "Redesign Your Mind," Eric Maisel provides over 60 strategies for exercising our minds and causing cognitive transformation.

Continuing our conversation with Maisel, the doctor, who is primarily based in the United States and is a pioneer in the field of psychology and creativity, urges us to have a discussion between ourselves by entering "the room that is your mind."

"You can decorate, air out, furnish, and turn the room that is your mind into a truly congenial place," the introduction of the book says.

The book was published in October last year. A Chinese version will hit the market very soon.

我们常说，“You are what you eat”，“人如其食”；那就不难理解，“You are what you think；”“你认为你是什么样的人，你就能成为什么样的人”。也就是说，不同的思考方式，会影响我们的人生。
在本期节目中，我们继续跟Maisel博士聊一聊他书中提到的，那些能帮我们改变思维，行为，甚至人生的大脑训练。
“Redesign Your Mind”由Mango Publishing 出版，书籍的中文版也将很快面试，中文的读者们可以期待一下。

用视觉想象改变行为方式

Using simple visualization exercises, Eric Maisel, PhD, guides readers through techniques that change not only what you think, but also how you think, in his new book "Redesign Your Mind: The Breakthrough Program for Real Cognitive Change."

"The book is really based on a lot of guided visualization, a lot of pictures, pictures of the mind, and ways you can change that picture from one kind to another kind of picture," Maisel told Shanghai Daily.

"This seemed light-hearted and amusing. And there aren't that many tactics in psychology that produced results that quickly, that directly."

Maisel has written 61 books on issues such as creativity, life objectives, critical psychology and critical psychiatry, and mental fitness, and there is no indication that he will stop.

By imagining "The room is your mind," Maisel cracks down the complex psychological concepts with easy-to-understand imagines and real cases to address major challenges like depression, addiction, procrastination, loneliness, and promote cognitive growth, trauma healing as well as fundamental change.

A native of United States, Maisel is a successful author and a columnist for a number of well-known sites, including the Huffington Post and Psychology Today. He runs a creativity coaching practice after retiring as a practicing family therapist.

本期节目,我们邀请到Easyminds Talk的老朋友,Eric Maisel博士，跟大家聊聊他的新书，“重新设计你的大脑。”这是Maisel博士出版的第61本关于心理健康和行为改变的书籍了。这不是一本严肃和难懂的心理学书籍，而是一本轻松阅读，又行之有效的指导手册。

仅仅通过想象你的思维是一个房间，你可以在里面释放愤怒，愧疚，担忧或者不满等等的情绪，Maisel博士告诉读者，我们的思维是有进入自我对话和自我改变的模式的。在60多个不同的思维场景里，博士通过非常容易理解的视觉引导，帮大家解读了很多复杂的心理学概念，并分享了很多他在实践中遇到的真实案例，来帮助读者了解情绪健康，成瘾问题，创伤修复以及行为改变等等心理话题。

Maisel博士来自美国，他是多产的心理学，创意学和行为学畅销书作家，同时赫芬顿邮报，今日心理等著名刊物撰写专栏。

对谈分上下两集。

元宇宙真的会改变我们与世界的关系么？

欢迎大家回到我们与Adam Alter教授访谈的第二部分。

在本期的节目中，Adam Alter教授和大家分享了更多关于科技和社会环境中很多因素对于成年人和儿童成长的影响。这些无处不在的因素，在不知不觉中影响着我们。屏幕，交互，虚拟，现实，增强技术，再到元宇宙，我们的生活似乎一直在被科技推动，这中间当然有很多的益处，但Alter教授提醒我们，我们如何有意识地思考和运用这些内容，才是最关键的。

“不能控制自己放下手机，是很可怕的。” 这其实是一个意识和行为之间的问题。这会影响你，影响你的孩子，影响你对你的孩子的教育。所以深入的了解问题的关键，就非常重要了。

“元宇宙并不是一个新的概念，虚拟现实和增强现实已经让我们对这一技术有所感受，但是真正意义上的元宇宙，需要人工智能技术成熟到可以让大家在不同时间和空间共享五感，才会得以实现。到了那个时候，那样的世界可比现在手机给你带来的世界会更加难以抗拒。“

另外，教授还谈到了影响我们的很多社会因素，比如在科技时代“如何帮助你的孩子适量使用电子产品，如何帮助年幼的孩童分清虚拟世界和现实世界，从而在他们的大脑和行为成长方面有正向的引导；比如为什么往往住在低楼层的孩子成绩往往会比高楼层的差？

这些我们都有烦恼，又不知道该如何去解答的问题，教授为大家提供了不一样的思路。

Adam Alter是纽约大学市场营销学和心理学的教授，主要研究方向是科技和行为成瘾之间的关系。他的两本著作《Drank, Tank, Pink》和《Irresistible》均是纽约时报的畅销书籍，他关于屏幕成瘾的TED演说，让他在互联网上迅速传播。Alter教授是多家知名媒体的特邀专栏作家，包括纽约时报，纽约客，华盛顿邮报以及大西洋月刊。

With the development of virtual realities and other novelties seeking to amaze us, it almost seemed inevitable that we would grow dependent upon technology.

And the pandemic didn’t make it easier to for those who wish for a more retro lifestyle. 

Asked how he managed to not lose himself in screens during the pandemic, Professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business Adam Alter said we should first imagine the pandemic in the 1950s. 

“People were sitting inside all day doing almost nothing. They couldn’t connect to anyone outside, and communication was relatively basic,” he says.

“So we are lucky to have screens, as they have made it possible to work and to connect to those who we love but couldn’t see in person.

“The fact that we can’t switch them off is a problem. Ultimately it’s better to have them than not during the pandemic, doing more good for us than it normally would, though it does underscore how relying we are on them.”

Continuing from our last conversation, Alter discussed his first book “Drunk Tank Pink (2013)” and his upcoming book “Escape Velocity,” while shedding more light on the impact that technology and other environmental influences have on people and the younger generation. 

Leading us to the question of how to cultivate creativity, Alter said, “Creativity is critical in helping us from being stuck, especially in a time when so many of us are not living our most desirable way, it’s hard to be creative when you don’t feel happy the whole time. And when we become stuck, it feels to us like some big, personal affront. We question how it happens, how terrible it feels, and it feels like you’re unique, but it’s an absolutely universal experience.

行为成瘾并不是无药可救，关键你要这么做

每天刷短视频刷社交媒体无法停下来，是不是你？确实，不光是你，也是我。但是我们都从未想过，这样的行为会对我们的身心造成什么影响，屏幕那端，到底是谁在操控你的意识和生活？

纽约大学教授Adam Alter早在十年前就关注到了这个问题。他是纽约大学市场营销学和心理学的教授，主要研究方向是科技和行为成瘾之间的关系。

他的两本著作《Drank, Tank, Pink》和《Irresistible》均是纽约时报的畅销书籍，他关于屏幕成瘾的TED演说，让他在互联网上迅速传播。

关于我们在手机，电脑上花费的时间和精力，Alter教授用成瘾来形容。到底为什么我们会盯着屏幕进行无休止的购物，游戏，社交？这后面的商家营销策略和用户心理因素分别是什么？我们该不该这样成瘾？我们该如何戒瘾？我们将跟教授在两期节目中为你一一解答。

In the digital era filled with explosiveinformation, have you ever considered who is in control of your life: thescreen or yourself?

It was a thought that struck Dr Adam Alter,a marketing professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, around10 years ago.

"When my wife and I didn't havechildren, we would spend a whole night next to each other on a couch – thewhole night would just disappear, the two of us living two separate lives onthat same couch," said Alter, who is also affiliated with the university'sPsychology Department.

"I was spending so much time on myphone, my iPad, and other devices, and I didn't think that it was the best wayto live. So I wondered: Is this true for everyone? Is it about sitting on thecouch at the end of a long night? Or is it something more pervasive?

"From there I started to do moreresearch, and I found that the things that affect you and your life are likelyto affect others as well," Alter, who focuses his research on topics thatdeal with the relationship between technology and behavioral addiction, said.

Alter insisted that screen time does nothave "one flavor" only. While there are more discretionary forms ofscreen time such as being fixated on the news, playing games, or using socialmedia more than we like, screen time also exists when learning a new language,speaking with a loved one who lives far away, attending meetings, or using amap to get around the city.

"I am not suggesting that we eliminatescreen time entirely. The importance is to understand the nuances; whatdifferent kinds of screen time mean for us," Alter said.

Nevertheless, one message that Alter's workseems to convey is that, be it a privilege or a cautionary tale, the ubiquityof technology is something that we have to live with, and act upon at our owndiscretion.

Alter, who was born in South Africa, is theNew York Times bestselling author of two books: Irresistible (2017) and DrunkTank Pink (2013). He has written for several publicationsincluding The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post and TheAtlantic. He has also shared his ideas on NPR's Fresh Air, Google andMicrosoft, among other companies.

每日一问：“今天你的心是什么颜色的？”

改善亲子关系从和孩子一起煮饭做家务开始

For this week’s episode, we’ll continue the conversation with Ms Rhonda Johnson, who is a US Art Therapy Board certified art therapist. She is currently running her private practice mainly for children and adolescents in New Jersey. We’ll pick up from where we left previously, and Ms Johnson is gonna share her takeaway from this Open Studio Process training, which is the foundation for what she is now doing, and an inspiring case of setting a “newsroom” in which role-playing kicks in in a certain group session, as well as her thoughts on family therapy and advice on daily practice to improve family bonds.

本期节目，我们将继续和美国儿童青少年艺术治疗师Rhonda Johnson的对谈。我们上期聊到，在处理儿童青少年的一些情绪和行为问题时，艺术治疗有时可能会产生“神奇效果”。接着这个话题，Rhonda Johnson将分享一些实际操作和案例，例如如何通过角色扮演让孩子们自然地说出自己的想法，她在长期进行艺术治疗的实践中的一些感悟，以及日常生活中我们可以如何改善亲子关系。她告诉我，有时候，一个简单的小问题或许就能开启一场直抵心灵的对话——“今天你的心是什么颜色的？”

让孩子“说出”出内心的无助或焦虑，艺术疗愈对青少年心理问题到底有什么作用？

For the very first episode of 2022, we have Rhonda Johnson with us. Ms Johnson is a US ART THERAPY board-certified art therapist, who is now running her own private practice in New Jersey. And she focuses particularly on children and adolescents. 
In the next 30 minutes or so, Ms Johnson will be sharing with us what influenced her to take up art therapy, why she specialized in giving therapies to children and adolescents, the problems her clients commonly share, her main approach to address the problems and how art therapy sometimes, work like magic on kids, by giving them a channel to vent out, and most importantly, giving them a voice. 

2022年首期节目，我们邀请到了来自美国的儿童青少年艺术治疗师Rhonda Johnson。作为一名美国艺术治疗协会认证的艺术治疗师，她目前在新泽西州开设了为儿童青少年提供艺术治疗服务的私人诊所。本期对谈中，她将和我们分享她为什么会选择专职为儿童和青少年提供艺术治疗服务，她所服务的对象们有哪些常见的问题，她又是如何来解决这些问题的，Rhonda Johnson认为，艺术创作为孩子提供了一个发泄的途径和诉说的渠道，因此在处理儿童青少年的一些情绪和行为问题时，艺术治疗有时可能会产生“奇效”。

2021即将结束。这一年，我们各有焦虑，各自在生活的小敲打、各种虐中寻找着自己的治愈方式。

不知道我们的焦虑是否与你类似，但我们的治愈方式对你一定有启发。

2021再见了！2022多爱我一点！
