11th International
Auriculotherapy Symposium
September 8th - 10th, 2023 - On behalf of G.L.E.M.
The Auricular Trauma Protocol (ATP) was presented 10 years ago in Lyon as a new treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It has evolved to be a potent tool in the mitigation of extraordinary stress and its manifestations. This includes sleep, pain, mood alterations, and pharmacologic dependencies. The ATP has evolved to include further adaptations for sleep, pain, stress, and dependency states named Basic I, and Basic II for each circumstance.
The ATP and its derivatives target the limbic system, autonomic system, visceral, and somatic systems in their therapeutic strategy. The ATP and its derivatives address the subcortical and brainstem aspects of feeling and emotion in a novel and potent way. This is where auriculotherapy meets psychology
