The Encounter with the Patient: Sparkles and Traps
The main issues in the clinical relationship to improve therapeutic results
with Elisa Rossi
See In StoreOverview
Please Note: This course is presented in English and is verbally translated into German during the presentation.
The workshop focuses on the process of co-building a working alliance.
We discuss some main features of the therapeutic relationship: the structure of communication and the emotional, mental, physical space of the treatment.
We see how to deal with:
the daily management of time, requests, money
the dynamics of empathy and neutrality
the deep movements stirred up by the use needles
the expression of hidden or violent emotions
the yin attitude of “being there”
We work with illnesses and suffering, it is a delicate matter.
The encounter of patient and practitioner requires a specific attention.
To improve therapeutic results we need not to be submerged by what takes place inside the relationship.
The classics give a great attention to it – quotations will be discussed in the workshop.
Clinical cases are given throughout all the issues.
Learning Objectives
- Refer to the Classics and Recognize deep relational movements in given clinical cases
- Paths to deal with dysfunctional behaviours
- Learn how to address the clinical relationship in daily practice. Deal with questions about ethics, communication, clinical interview. Understand how to handle interpersonal issues that arise in the clinic.
- Cope with the therapeutic setting, empathy, expression of emotions, silence and words. Not be invaded or drifted away by what may happen during the treatment. Use a yin attitude of “being there”
- Why we have chosen this profession, what deep needs it responds to, how we deal with it all

Overview
Why would a practitioner benefit from learning the Heart Lock Theory?
Our experiences are stored in our memories and reflexively in our bodies. Since the heart is the fulcrum of the energy flow through the body, it is easy to understand that experiences and events have a subtle effect on the way our hearts beat. The Heart Lock Theory can pinpoint the times in our life when we have suffered lasting damage, and provide clues to how these events are affecting our lives today.
The Phytobiophysics Heart Lock Theory is a form of heart reflexology and is quite simply one of the most efficient methods of diagnosis. The theory is simple, and yet extremely profound. It quickly and clearly enables the practitioner to understand the complex chain of events in a patient’s life, which conspire to make them ill. The theory offers the ability to create a map, presenting a time frame of who, how, what, and when the patient has been damaged and an ability to track back to discover the origin of their disease. This knowledge enables you to help your patient recover from even some of the most serious conditions.
Learning Objectives
- The student will review cases and treatment protocols using flower formulas
- The student will learn about the planes of consciousness
- The student will learn about the Heart Lock Theory
- The student will learn the Heart Lock muscle test

Modern and Classical Chinese Medicine Approach to Multiple Sclerosis
with Suzanne Robidoux
See In StoreOverview
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other effectively. In MS, the body presents with a wide range of symptoms; some physical, emotional or psychological. Symptoms can range from sudden paralysis, sudden blindness, muscle twitching or weakness, muscle atrophy, incontinence of stool and urine, mental confusion, aphasia, depression, loss of memory or loss of cognitive functions and so on. This disease mainly affects women three times more than men, between the ages of 20 to 40. It is recorded that there were over 20 million cases of MS in Northern Europe.
Western medicine has reached a certain level of advancements when it comes to diagnosing this disease. However, the causes of MS are still considered unknown and treatments of MS are still experimental and have severe side effects such as mild or severe depression, multi organ failure and death. Chinese medicine can greatly affect the quality and length of the life. With the right treatment approach, we can treat the presenting symptoms and prevent them from returning. Using the wealth of information given to us in the classical Chinese medicine we are able to have effective treatment for MS patients.
In this recorded seminar, Dr. Robidoux clearly explains the classical understanding of the body and mind in Chinese medicine and relates it to severe degenerative neurological diseases. Dr. Robidoux presents important treatment protocols effective for MS using some body and scalp acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicine. Dr. Robidoux also covers additional treatment approaches for over 20 of the main symptoms seen in MS.
Dr. Robidoux was involved in a Chinese medicine research treating MS with Chinese medicine and has successfully treated MS patients in Canada and Europe successfully. She introduces some of the clinical cases and treatment protocols.
Learning Objectives
- Learn some of the keys treatment lines of scalp acupuncture in the treatment of MS.
- Review the etiology of multiple sclerosis according to TCM and according to classical Chinese medicine.
- Understand the classical Chinese medicine outlook on life and health and understand how it is affected in systematic and neurological disorders.
- Learn essential moxibustion treatments to MS.
- Review live success cases of MS and their treatment approach.

Overview
The desire in your heart will determine how you behave. Heart will guide the bodily movement. The meaning of Yi - intent, is what appears in your mind as preconception, idea, opinion, before thinking or discernment or judgment. Beware as preconception may become prejudice or a judgment. What is in the Heart-Mind carries all my being but also carries what we put in ourselves. We are responsible for what we read or study. We are responsible for all that we intake. We are also responsible for the quality of our Yi -intent. The mind works with what is available, and the discernment on the input is necessary in order to render it. The input may fill my heart and take possession of it, and we may lose discernment at the long term.
Learning Objectives
- The practitioner will have a stronger understanding of the concepts of Yi & Zhi, and how they can be utilized to benefit treatment outcomes.
- The practitioner will understand the history and sources of the Yi & Zhi in Classical texts and its modern implications.
- The practitioner to develop his/her art.
- Raises his/her vision and conduct.
- Invigorates his/her thought.
