Five Needles, One Reset: Transforming Mental Health and Family Dynamics
Summary
- The Five-Needle Protocol (5NP) for Mental Health: Christine and her colleagues successfully expanded access to the 5NP in Texas, an acupuncture technique that calms the nervous system and supports emotional detoxification, providing relief for anxiety, trauma, addiction, and more.
- Changing Family Dynamics Impacting Mental Health: Modern shifts toward convenience and technology have diminished meaningful family connections, contributing to mental health struggles in children, including early suicidal ideation. Rebuilding connection through choice and empowerment is key.
- Healing Beyond Diagnosis: Christine’s approach focuses on fostering a growth mindset, emotional safety, and clinician self-care to combat burnout, reminding us that healing is a continuous journey requiring support at every level.
