Below you'll find a link to a 2012 TED talk given by Brene Borwn, PhD, LMSW. She has spent the past decade studying vulnerability, courage, worthiness and shame.  She gave an earlier TED talk in 2010 that "went viral" with over 8 million views, where she first talked about her research on shame and how it affects our sense of self and our relationships.  The 2012 talk is a follow up to her research in which she talks about vulnerability and its importance, if we want to live a life she describes as "whole-hearted."

The primary talk included on the link below is entitled Listening to Shame, given in March, 2012. The original 2010 talk, entitled The Power of Vulnerability, is also available on this link. I highly recommend these talks for everyone interested in their sense of self and relationship.

Question: 

Can acupuncture be helpful for stroke patients?

Answered by Aimee Brown, LAc, MSOM: 

Many patients don't realize it, but acupuncture can benefit a stroke patient in many ways.

• Immediate benefit to provide calming and soothing of nerves due to stress of the condition
• Beginning with underlying  cause of the stroke, acupuncture can augment that aspect of patient's constitution to prevent recurrence
• Bolster patient's system to a more strengthened state
• Residual stroke symptoms may be improved or transformed

If you have an interest in the benefits of acupuncture in situations of stroke, take a look at the attached links from the Huffington Post and Acupuncture Today.
