The Sensitive Shen child

Highly sensitive children offer a therapeutic challenge for both parents and caregivers alike, both in diagnosing and even more in treatment, the Sensitive Shen Children demand a specific set of skills in the clinic

Collecting the information from a sensitive may be difficult especially if you receive most of the information from the parent that is not always objective, or even more- ALWAYS NOT objective

Most of the pediatric treatment traditions focus on disharmonies of the 4 elements and not enough of the fire element and the heart so in practice we are left with not enough tools to address the root of most disharmonies

The workshop will focus on the heart type children and especially the sensitive shen types and their special way of presenting disharmonies

Learning objectives

Participants will learn about the role of the Shen in child's development

Participants will learn about sensitive shen disharmonies and their manifestations

Participants will learn how to diagnose and treat sensitive Shen Children
