Description

This book describes in detail the effects and ongoing impacts of trauma on the body and mind and provides the 'missing piece' in the treatment of these stubborn conditions that every practitioner confronts. Heart Shock refers to the systemic impact that emotional and/or physical trauma has on one's physiology and psychology, interfering with one's ability to heal, and also directly attributable to a host of progressive pathology. Synthesizing the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen and the Shen-Hammer lineage and focusing heavily on psychology, Ross Rosen addresses how to identify, diagnose, and treat Heart Shock from multiple perspectives, providing a multi-faceted approach to treatment, including all the acupuncture channel systems, herbal medicine and the use of essential oils. The approach presented can also be expanded to treat any condition or disease process. Read more

    • I'm so grateful I came across this book, it is truly a gem.
I'm so grateful I came across this book, it is truly a gem. I'm a 4th year Chinese medical student, and a true Chinese medicine book nerd. I also have a background in psychology, neuroscience, and depression research. Heart Shock is by far the most comprehensive text I have encountered on the subject of understanding, diagnosing, and treating psycho-emotional conditions and trauma, with Chinese medicine. The author synthesizes and expands upon diagnostic and treatment strategies from the Shen-Hammer lineage and Classical Chinese medicine as taught by Jeffrey Yuen. This book includes detailed information about pulse diagnosis, and outlines how one could use each one of the 5 channel systems (sinews, primarys, luos, divergents & eight extraordinary vessels) to treat various psycho-emotional presentations. The book also breaks down different herbal strategies that correspond to different channel system approaches, and includes a wonderfully detailed section on the use of essential oils for emotional conditions. My favorite part of the book is the case study section. The author's brilliance and expertise especially reveals itself in the way that he breaks down the cases so systematically. For each case, the author provides a comprehensive chart with pulse findings, and then includes an additional chart explaining how each pulse finding contributed to a particular aspect of the patient's diagnosis. He then organizes these different aspects of the patient's diagnosis into a list of ordered priorities for treatment, and the subsequent treatment strategies & treatment. This way of laying out the information provides the reader with a deep, holistic view of the patient. This book is a must have for any practitioner of Chinese medicine who works with psycho-emotional conditions and trauma (and is also great for those who want to understand more about how to use the 5 channel systems, as these concepts can be applied to the treatment of any condition). I am so happy I purchased this book, and am grateful that the author wrote it, as I truly believe that the treatment strategies outlined so elegantly here will support the healing of so many hearts <3 ... show more

    • An exceedingly clear and practical refrenece for diagnosing and treating trauma
This is a beautiful and rare book continuing the Shen-Hammer lineage. I find the wealth of information on the pulse and other the parameters of diagnosis for addressing trauma incredibly clear and easy to apply in practice.

    • Exemplary of the current evolution in Chinese Medicine in the West.
As a longstanding practitioner of Chinese medicine I have both witnessed and experienced textually, the development of Western language scholarship in the field. The trajectory of scholarship and available text has come a long way since the 1980's. We have moved from essentially mere pamphlets, to larger survey texts on fundamentals, to translations of classics, to the study and analysis of these classics. This book stands out from this trend in that it is one of the first books to thoroughly weave together multiple classical streams and modern mastery, and bind these together with insight and study born of decades of clinical practice. Ross has succeeded in setting a standard for our field by showing the possibilities of clinical experience welded to modern lineages and research into the classics. The importance of his approach can't be understated. In addition to all of this, is the plain and obvious utility of this book itself. It provides a new lens through which to view the possibilities of Chinese medicine for the treatment of trauma. This text is not a rehashing and dressing up of western clinical psychology, nor is it a wrote retelling of existing Chinese medicine approaches. It is a completely novel, though rooted, system of using not only pulse diagnosis but also all of the tools of Chinese medicine interventions for the uprooting and treatment of trauma and the impacts of this on the human mind/body. I cannot recommend this enough. ... show more

    • An in-depth look at using the 5-Meridian system for treating physical and emotional trauma
This is a truly impressive work - covering the sinew, luo, primary, divergent and EV for treating trauma, with an extra section on gu and gui. Rosen covers everything from acupuncture to herbs to essential oils at each of these different levels. As a TCM-trained practitioner I found the beginning quite dense as CCM often requires a new understanding of concepts. I only wish, as a visual learner, there were more diagrams and illustrations. This is the kind of book that will likely (and delightfully) take me a few years to really get through! I highly recommend this book to anyone newish and beyond to CCM, especially in conjunction with Ann Cecil-Sterman's books for diagrams. I would say the EO section is excellent for reference, but perhaps not the best starting place for complete beginners to the practice. Thank you, Ross Rosen, for such a comprehensive and beautiful life's work realized! ... show more

    • Wish I had this in school!
This book successfully took Dr Hammer's material and made it more successful and usable. The author successfully explains a concept that many other teachers talk around but never really get to the center of. Trauma and its sequela are so ubiquitous in modern society yet there are not many ways to address it. There are many teachers trying to share something to treat and diagnose it yet most fall short. This book provides a wonderful way to identify, diagnose, and treat the various channel layers. I highly recommend it to anyone studying acupuncture or has an interested in a very sophisticated approach to pulse diagnosis. ... show more

    • Very supportive for realistic clinical approach
This book has helped me in a great deal. Although, it is in the context of treating trauma, outside of treating trauma it has excellent perspective and explanations of divergent and 8 extra channel systems. Particularly the divergent channels are not widely covered in clinical usage and this book layers in well with other authors for a more complete perspective. ... show more

    • I was a patient of his
I was a patient of this person and after four years of treatment and many thousands of dollars I am still not well, which should lead one to question the validity of his methods, don’t you think? The glowing reviews of others make me sick. I would think twice before purchasing this book. You can read my google review of him for more details. ... show more
