Stress and Anxiety
The current standard of conventional medicine is not equipped to manage and mitigate stress and anxiety that is chronic. At best, we are given a mental health label and one or more prescription medications to take in perpetuity. Sadly, many of my female patients report feeling unheard in clinical settings regarding their symptoms, or having everything that’s happening to them dismissed as ‘stress.’
Acupuncture is a number one treatment in three recent studies of PTSD, which includes C-PTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), an advanced and complex stage of stress.
I use Taoist principles of Chinese Medicine of Five Element Acupuncture, a rare and ancient healing art that few practice or understand. This lineage was passed from ex-pat refugee acupuncturists fleeing Communist China through J.R. Worsley of Leamington Spa, England. He transfered this knowledge through Bob Duggan and Diane Connelly of Tai Sophia (now Maryland University of Integrative Health).
With acupuncture, often we don’t need to speak about or expand upon the causes of the stress like other top-down talk therapies. This is a bottom-up approach that relaxes and resets the entire system, undoing patterns while touching deeply the human spirit.
In my Optimize Hormone Reset package, we explore all the contributors to stress (environmental, social, interpersonal) that are impacting fertility or are parcel to chronic pain. Never are our bodies more broken down than when we are in emotionally stressful situations.
At last we have a solution that bridges all of these things together and makes sense within a larger whole. Just like it did for me, an acupuncturist can help us make sense of the whole story we haven’t been able to speak, or cannot speak. This empowerment and self-realization eliminates root stress causes and opens up multiple avenues for healing that is individual to each patient.
