1. QUESTION: Why choose ACUDESTRESS over other methods?
   

2. What patients benefit?
   

3. 
   

4. •ANSWER: Used originally to treat chronic stress which hadn’t yielded to other methods, ACUDESTRESS deftly applies what the very best therapies today use - effective mindfulness (without having to master meditation) and effective neuroplasticity (in just FOUR weeks. ) Who benefit? People with chronic depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders & drug-controlled psychoses - virtually all of the chronic emotional-mental problems we see.
   

5. •Patients with acute problems, no! If  you’re in need of crisis care, choose counselling instead. It allows the patient to talk things through.
   

6. 

   •Too many patients today feel a stigma about treatment for mental-emotional problems. The stigma may be cultural, anecdotal (hearing of someone’s bad experience) or it may be associated with guilt and shame, or one may have had a bad or unsuccessful experience in a similar situation before. We are particularly aware of the stigma many of our patients feel. As we offer a service that only slightly resembles other forms of treatment, and as we have, even in the early going, a high success rate, our patients naturally feel well looked after, free of judgement - and pass this along to others.

AcuDestress is a life-altering energy-shifting training session, by which, following one month of treatment, non-meditators fast track to mindfulness, then learn neuroplasticity, all initiated/sustained/modulated by AcuDetox ear acupuncture. Many recipients report that they become able, subsequently, to manage stress without psychotherapy and some are able to come off psychoactive medication.
