Heart Shen, Pericardium, Mental & Emotional Health (Online)

Date(s): 08 March 2025

Time: 9am - 4pm GMT (due to Australian time zones!)

Eligibility: Acupuncture graduates

Venue: This is an online course

Often, when a Chinese medicine practitioner searches for content on how to treat emotions and mental health conditions (in Chinese medicine), two key things occur. The first, is that there is a significant lack of content; the second, is that the content available is too foundational.

 

If your patient’s mental health is quite complicated, you therefore often find yourself needing to think ‘outside the box’ when constructing acupuncture point combinations/treatments.

 

In this course, you will look at the role the Heart, Pericardium, and the Shén play in mental and emotional health. You will explore various special acupuncture point categories that are good to remember when treating patients with mental and emotional disorders. You will also analyse and discuss acupuncture point combinations for depression, anxiety, plus finding joy and contentment.

 

At the end of this workshop participants will:

• Be more proficient in identifying the different types of depression and anxiety commonly seen in clinic.
• Understand the various forms of diagnoses that can apply for depression and anxiety.
• More confidently diagnose and treat patients with depression and anxiety.
• Feel more confident treating patients with mental and emotional trauma; in particular, aiding them to find their inner joy and contentment.
• Have a greater insight into the importance of acupuncture point combinations, as well as special point categories.
• Feel like they now have the tools to construct their own acupuncture point combinations for patients with mental and emotional trauma.

 

David will be hosting this live one-day online webinar on March 8, 2025 from 9am-4pm GMT.

 

He will also be at the college for an additional in-person practical workshop on September 20, 2025 from 10am-5pm BST, to build upon the theory, allowing you to have hands-on experience of acupuncture point combinations for the different mental health conditions. The practical day will also include some tuning forks and other modalities that David uses in clinic to treat the emotions.
