How I Work with Trauma in the Eyes

Today's a little different. I am going to share a session I had where I worked with a patient who was struggling with emotional trauma that was affecting her vision. I will share how we worked together to figure out the best course of action for her. Enjoy the show. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com.

I gave a patient this session. And the reason why she contacted me is that she was having some trauma, emotional trauma related to her vision. And a little back story about her she took one of my workshops was an online workshop during COVID. And I use one of the modalities I used was continuum movement. This is a movement modality, it was started by my mentor Emily Conrad, she's not alive anymore. Anyway, it's a really profound therapy, I would say what's closest to it is cranial sacral therapy. And those of you that don't know about cranial sacral, I would go on my website, and I would look at some of the videos I've done on cranial sacral. Basically, it's working with the fluid body. And you know, as adults, we're 70% fluid as infants were 90% fluid. And one of the reasons why we go through an aging process on a cellular level is that we lose our fluidity. Why we lose our fluidity Well, it's diet, stress, inflammation, oxidative stress, and repetitive movements, repetitive thinking. So in this session, which I cut out my patients part of it because I wanted to respect her privacy. But I talk about how trauma affects our vision. And we go at it first of all from a Chinese medicine or acupuncture perspective. And in the first part, I talk about the relationship between our internal organs, and our eyes, the meridians and how each part of the eye anatomy is affected by certain organs. Another thing I go into is the relationship between the eyes and our bones in the face our fascia. She had a concern about her sinuses. That's one of the reasons why she contacted me. So I talked about the relationship between cranial sacral therapy and vision. And then I give two practices, physical therapy exercises that help improve the visual system and also stimulate the acupuncture meridians and the cranial sacral system. It's kind of a all in one. It's something that I learned as I was going through my continuum movement training. So it's an interesting show. There's a lot of different ideas that I talk about. So I'm putting this up as a podcast just as a kind of a context, philosophically, some of the bigger macro things that I think about when I'm either teaching or working with a patient. So I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks so much for tuning in. So with the terror. The main meridian is the kidney meridian as it relates to the eyes, actually with the eye on kidneys. It's also the pupil, the pupil is the part of the eye that is the gatekeeper that allows light in and out. Okay,
