Course Overview
Sexual abuse and trauma create profound disruptions in the body’s energetic systems, particularly affecting the Chong Mai and the Heart-Kidney axis. As TCM practitioners, we are uniquely positioned to support survivors through their healing journey using the time-tested approaches of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. However, effective treatment requires more than technical expertise—it demands a thorough understanding of energetic patterns, careful attention to clinical boundaries, and a trauma-informed approach to care.
This 1.5-hour clinically-focused course provides practitioners with essential tools for treating trauma survivors safely and effectively. Drawing from classical texts like the Shang Han Lun and decades of clinical experience, this presentation emphasizes practical treatment strategies while maintaining appropriate therapeutic boundaries. Learn how to recognize trauma patterns, implement phase-appropriate treatments, and integrate Chinese medicine with other therapeutic modalities for optimal patient care.
