Acupucture for scars which caused body imbalance

It all depends. I’m cautious of the terms you used “acupuncture for scar tissue release” - because there really isn’t a thing. Chinese Medicine treats your issues from the root out and then may focus on some local issues such as scar tissue adhesion.

If the treatment was a from a fully trained and licensed Chinese Medicine practitioner, then, yes, in most cases of proper treatment after 12 sessions you would likely feel some improvement (although it’s not clear what your issues are from the post besides “issues” with your “right side”).

If you experienced suicidal thoughts during the treatment, this very likely has less to do with the treatment and far more to do with deeper psychological issues (which can be held in the tissue of course) that need to be looked at.

From this at least, I would first recommend that you only get treated from a fully licensed TCM practitioner if that is available in your area and two you consider seeing a therapist, ideally one who practices both EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (i.e. not a “talk” therapist).

Your practitioner might just be being generous to you and letting you come in when you feel comfortable again on your own terms, but if they are uncomfortable with what happened then it is time to move on to a different practitioner. While I myself recommended some type of therapy, proper acupuncture would be mutually beneficial with that, not waiting until things are “resolved” and then starting treating you when all the hard work is basically done.

Movement is movement, generally within the the first few treatments particularly if you feel great after, great, if you feel worse, that is also in a way great - it’s change and as a practitioner you work with that and use the feedback to constantly tailor the treatment. I’m concerned that the practitioner isn’t applying acupuncture properly (i.e. to symptomatically tailored (i.e. “shallow”), vs. treating you properly systemically (i.e. “deeper”)) - if I’m correct this is not going to work well or at least would take a lot longer than it should.

Acupuncture in general cannot be “wrong” for someones body/mind - the only thing making the change with acupuncture is your body/mind. Improper treatment, however, can be extremely unhelpful - generally not damaging per se (again it is only helping your body make certain choices), but unhelpful. I would find, as I recommended, a good therapist with EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy and then another acupuncturist, ideally who also practices Chinese herbal medicine and, ideally, tuina (chinese medical massage - or has a background in neuromuscular therapy or related fields). Someone with those skills who has also been in practice full-time for at least 5 years should be able to really help you.

I forgot to also mention that during the 12 weeks I had one week off due to Christmas holidays. I felt amazing during that week. I don’t remember ever feeling energised except the one or two days proceeding treatment. I would deteriorate until treatment again.

I’ve been told that it was this new change within my body that I hadn’t experienced. I didn’t like what I saw almost.

I can only take this break and work on what
I need to come to terms with.
