Acupuncture had been devised to correct the flow of internal energy/meridians in the body. These meridians are not tangible but are conceptualized, not unlike the chakra centres and etherial bodies that surround us; like the aura. When I was unable to function, I found an acupuncturist who was able to create a treatment plan to work with PTSD. She stimulated organs that govern emotions, fear, anger, joy, dreams, spiritual connection etc. The first few times, I was not sure it had an effect. I started to go weekly, then every two weeks... One day; it hit me! It worked. I walked home without being picked up. I felt confidence, I felt joy. As time progressed, we worked on other points to balance everything out. I had experienced a flashback on her table one day. Not pleasant and not one I had been originally aware of. So, be aware that somethings can surface. Overall; I think it is an integral part of my recovery plan that I will always commit to. At this point I go monthly. (because of the cost) If I have a hard time, I will quickly book an appointment. Have any of you tried it? |
