“…Thus, the neuroception of familiar individuals and individual with appropriately prosodic voices and warm, expressive faces translates into a social interaction promoting a sense of safety" [150] (p. 58). As the neuroception of safety and consequent activation of the ventral vagal complex has been predicted to promote improved gastrointestinal function, Damis and Hamilton (2020) demonstrated that repeated hypnotic imagination of scenes that generate a sense of safety for the patient resulted in increases in experienced sense of subjective safety and decreases in symptoms of brain-gut interaction disorders (functional gastrointestinal disorders) [169]. This study provides evidence that patient identified scenes of safety can increase ventral vagal activity, similar to scenes of secure attachment primes, and that the mechanism of action likely involves subcortical processes.…”

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is a chronic condition that occurs following a traumatic experience. Information processing models of PTSD focus on integrating situationally triggered sensory-emotional memories with consciously accessible autobiographical memories. Review of the nature of implicit memory supports the view that sensory-emotional memories are implicit in nature. Dissociation was also found to be associated with the development and severity of PTSD, as well as deficits in autobiographical memory. Moreover, disorganized attachment (DA) was associated with greater degrees of dissociation and PTSD, and like the defining neural activation in PTSD, was found to be associated with basal ganglia activity. In addition, subcortical neuroception of safety promotes a neurophysiological substrate supportive of social engagement and inhibition of fear-based responses. Furthermore, activation of representations of co-created imagined scenes of safety and secure attachment are associated with increases in this neurophysiological substrate. Repeated priming of secure attachment imagery was associated with modification of internal working models of DA along with reductions in dissociation and recovery from complex PTSD. In conclusion, it is posited that adequate recovery from extensive trauma experiences requires more than conscious elaboration of traumatic autobiographical memories and that the application of implicit nonconscious memory modification strategies will facilitate more optimal recovery.

“…Kondisi ini cenderung menimbulkan masalah kesehatan dan berpengaruh pada kualitas hidup dan situasi mental dari mahasiswa. Gangguan yang umum muncul pada mahasiswa adalah Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) [6,7]. FGID cenderung muncul ditandai dengan nyeri perut, disfagia, dispepsia, diare, sembelit, kembung dan gastrointestinal akut [7][8][9].…”

“…This condition tends to cause health problems and affects students’ quality of life and mental condition. Disorders that appear commonly in students are functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) [ 6 , 7 ], which are characterized by abdominal pain, dysphagia, dyspepsia, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and acute gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances [ 7 - 9 ]. Based on data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2020, FGIDs are included in the list of 10 diseases that affect adolescents the most in Indonesia, with a prevalence of up to 40.85% [ 10 ].…”

Background The high academic demands experienced by students will often have an impact on the quality of their mental and physical health. The most common health problems reported are gastrointestinal disorders. This condition tends to manifest in the emergence of generalized anxiety disorders (GADs) and reduces the quality of life and productivity. The population that experiences this disorder the most is female adolescents, and this condition occurs in both South African and Indonesian populations. The use of drugs, especially benzodiazepines, often causes psychological conditions as side effects. For this reason, it is necessary to have a solution in the form of a targeted and efficient approach to reduce psychological symptoms that arise from functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in the form of anxiety. Objective The purpose of this study is to produce and implement a counseling intervention model to assist female students with GADs caused by FGID factors using an approach combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), web-based counseling, and local wisdom in Indonesian and South African populations. Methods The research subjects will comprise 118 female adolescent students from Indonesia and 118 female adolescent students from South Africa, making a total sample of 236 participants, and the study will use a prospective, parallel randomized controlled trial design. The recruitment process will begin in July 2023, and the trial will begin in August 2023. The posttest assessment data gathering will take place by November 2023. Questionnaires that will be used in this study include the Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder Checklist (FGI-Checklist) to collect data related to FGIDs and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) to measure the anxiety conditions experienced by respondents. Results By adopting the intention-to-treat principle, there will be significant mean changes in GAD scores and FGID scores after exposure to this combined approach in the Indonesian and South African populations. Implementing this comprehensive intervention will improve the students’ psychological symptoms related to FGIDs and ultimately enhance their overall well-being. Conclusions This study will develop and implement a model of counseling intervention for female students with GADs obtained from FGIDs using a combination approach to CBT, web-based counseling, and local wisdom in both the Indonesian and South African populations. The trial findings will contribute to our understanding of the effects of CBT combined with local wisdom and web-based counseling approaches that mental health counselors can use to treat GAD-affected adolescent girls who have FGIDs.
