Acupuncture

Has anybody tried acupuncture? Read good things about it and will give it a try for the first time today. I used to be terrified of needles as a kid but it’s ok now.

I also used to be totally terrified of all dogs but my sister’s dog was like a therapist to me. Every family gathering he would sit still and quietly by my side. So while everyone else wanted to pet him, and he loves it, he would just lie there and be by my side, no demands. He respected my fear and waited patiently. Slowly I started petting him - and learned to love him without fears. Then my husband had a dog when we met and I swear she had more anxiety than me, she won my heart. She was an old lady and passed last year, it hurt so bad, I never felt like that before about a dog. Now I only fear certain and more aggressive dogs.

I conquered some fears, and that feels good.

But I digress, back to becoming a porcupine on this journey for helpful tools... any input? TIA.

Yes I tried acupuncture from a Chinese therapist and it worked very well. Don't go for chiropractor; only genuine Chinese trained acupuncturist.

How did it go?

animals can sense things that are far beyond our realm of understanding. This dog was emphatically sensing you needing to heal....dogs can sense when someone is going to have a seizure, or if they have cancer....they also know when you don't feel good in general and often our pooch would just hang out with me on those days.

Yes, I really experienced that. Amazing.
