The Treatment of Trauma with Classical Chinese Medicine
Course Description
Unresolved trauma always results in interference to the Heart-Kidney communication axis, but trauma can originate in any of the three levels: wei, ying and yuan. In this course, we will look at different types of trauma, how they impact the channel systems at each level, and how we can begin to walk traumatic imprints back out of the system.
We will look at:
Principles of trauma informed care: trust & power dynamics.
Understanding the relationship of blood stasis to physical (musculoskeletal luos) and emotional trauma (longitudinal luos).
Role of consciousness and the luo vessels in our trauma response
Role of the ancestral sinews in mitigating and “cushioning” traumatic events
Detailed channel explanation of the nervous system and physiological response to boundary violations
Intersectionality of the Dai Mai, the Kidney Divergent Confluence and the Ancestral Sinews and the self-identification with trauma at the Yuan level
Clinically relevant intersectionalities between Luo, EVs, Sinews and Divergents and clinical approaches to treatment.
