Course Overview

Emotional trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) are all recognized as medical conditions that cause emotional and physical symptoms. These conditions are prevalent in the population and significantly affect people’s ways of life.

CT Holman presents his clinical experience in treating emotional trauma, PTSD, and CPTSD utilizing acupuncture points that have been proven in several medical studies to benefit brain chemistry. He will discuss the function of a four-point acupuncture prescription regarding TCM, biomedicine, and Chinese shamanic paradigms.

CT shows videos to accurately describe point location and the needle technique of this effective point prescription. These points significantly reduce the triggering of emotional trauma, PTSD, and CPTSD. This prescription dramatically decreases insomnia, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, clouded thinking, and other symptoms stemming from trauma. Sharing a case study, he demonstrates the effectiveness of treatment.

I loved this workshop. I’ve been working with people in Trauma for many years and I found this workshop, and CT’s style of teaching very caring, interesting and engaging. Have been using the Gathering the Qi Protocol with a couple of my people and seeing an instant change in the Shen in their eyes. Beautiful. Thankyou CT ????????
