Description

Is it time to add this mind-body treatment, with over 80 published research articles, into your evidence-based practice? This workshop will teach how to combine therapeutic wording including metaphors with gentle self-applied acupressure points; to calm, collapse and desensitize thoughts, emotions and the corresponding physical manifestations of the problem. It offers a surprising relief from physical pain. This method has the potential to become a preventative pain approach instead of prescribing opioids.
