Raising children comes with a constant fear that something may harm and traumatize them.
It may be a traumatic event like the death of a close family member, something at school or home or even a stressful period like in the period of Covid.
Trauma can manifest in the life of a child in many ways but in the core of all traumatic effects there is always a stagnation of yin (or Cold) which allows the penetration of other pathogens like phlegm, wind, Gui and more.
As childhood is a very Yang period, and throughout childhood there are several periods of growth leaps in which the Yang movement becomes even stronger, there are several “Opportunities” in which we can treat and even eliminate Traumatic effects that could have stayed and changed the course of the child's life.
In this very practical workshop we will learn about the development stages of the child, about emotional traumas and the unique opportunities in which we can treat and help them heal with acupuncture and herbs.
