Deep Release is a short-term intensive acupuncture therapy based on the well-recognized power of acupuncture to heal emotions. It was designed to assist in the healing of chronic pain from past emotional or physical trauma. Past patients have included people with histories of childhood abuse, motor vehicle accidents, work injuries, sexual abuse, severe low back pain, neck pain, and many other causes. It is specifically intended to relieve the constant distress of chronic pain, depression, or anxiety.

Philosophy
Most of us tend to struggle against and try to avoid our physical or emotional pain, particularly when it is chronic or severe. This response is normal, but tends to keep us locked into an adversarial relationship with the pain and to perpetuate the hold the pain has on us. The Deep Release Acupuncture method assists the client in opening to the pain within the supportive environment created by the acupuncture. The goal is simply to explore the pain and any feelings that may arise. When patients are able to loosen their fear of the pain, there is room for healing and joy. Most patients find the process quite personal and moving.

What Happens at a Session?
Deep Release is a unique acupuncture therapy. Each session is a collaboration between the client and the acupuncturist, with the goal of allowing the client to explore their pain and uncover its meanings.

A Deep Release Acupuncture session takes about an hour. It begins with a verbal check-in in which the intention for the session is set, and ends with time for verbal reflection and processing. Treatments can include deep breathing, heat therapy, and massage.
