The key information we gather at the first visit is: when the traumatic event occurred and what kind of event it was (traffic accident, violence, disaster, etc.); which symptom is hardest now—nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance, or hyperarousal and insomnia; whether you have ever been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and the name and dose of your current medication; and whether you have previously had psychotherapy (EMDR, prolonged exposure therapy, etc.).

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

Because this is sensitive material, it may be hard to talk about everything. You don't have to describe the details of the event. Just letting us know which symptoms are hardest and what medications you are taking is enough for us to set a treatment direction. At Dongjedang, we make every effort to create an atmosphere where you can talk comfortably.
