Acupuncture?

[CaraG]

I just had my first acupuncture treatment for trauma. Anybody else done this?

 

[Crow]

Yes. My first practitioner didn't take into account my trauma background and it sent me into a weeks' long rabbit hole. Now I have someone who helps balance everything. It's really helpful.

She did an acupuncture treatment for trauma.

Did it help you?

 

[CaraG]

I just feel disconnected. I just want to sleep.

Amazing, no flashbacks and no intrusive thoughts. Feel normal again.

So glad to hear it helped. I started doing acupuncture for a different medical reason (shoulder issues) about two years ago, but made the practitioner aware of the trauma stuff, too. I feel so incredibly balanced and grounded after my sessions. I have a big needle and pain phobia, too, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle it, but they don't bother me a bit, except for once in a great while when the spot of entry feels super tender (but it always feels better right after the next point goes in to balance the energy/inner-chi), or the weird feeling of when the needles don't want to come out yet.

I have 7 tattoos. Yep it's 7, I had to count. Anyhow, needles don't bother me. I was a little skeptical and worried. My counselor went on vacation and I wouldn't see her for two weeks. I am okay and haven't fallen apart yet. Have another appointment next Thursday.

I've done dry needling.

What's that?

It relaxes overactive muscles without objecting anything.

Sounds interesting.
Had my second acupuncture. It has made me super emotional. I also freaked out a bit during the session. Oh it makes sense now.
