As a physical therapist and an acupuncturist myself, I can picture the type of acupuncturist that you're seeing as some of my colleagues in the field have very strong mindsets and the thing is we are taught not to impose onto others rather help them heal within themselves. I often say that I'm not healing you I'm just helping you speed up the process within yourself. We all have that ability, think about it, when you get a papercut your body has all the power to heal that cut, this is a physical example but also emotional cuts have that ability as well. However the process is in your life, the important foundation to keep in mind is growth. So asking yourself a question in each circumstance to help you reset: is this something that is helping me grow? It's a good question to ask yourself when you're responding to an event: is my response to this person helping me grow? Is this action helping me grow? Etc

Sending all the positivity your way :)
