Dr. Bahr: How to Treat PTSD and 
Trauma of the Soul

This advanced Auricular Medicine course combines frameworks of neuroscience, TCM, homeopathy, and psychology (and pre-requisite Vascular Autonomic Signal palpation skills) to scan a patient’s timeline of lived experience,[1] and identify the root causes of one of the most individual and complex healthcare issues of our time, trauma.

Gain insights into:

  • The Mind/Body Connection — Discover how the effects of negative Qi[2] impact our personal timeline and affect our soul through integrated perspectives from both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern psychology. 

  • Trauma & PTSD — Acquire a multi-modal context for understanding, communicating with, and treating patients.

  • Homeopathy — Expand your understanding of the application of floral essences to support the uncovering of root causes.

  • Increase Treatment Precision — Use frequencies to locate and regulate neural pathways as they relate to specific psychological blockages.


With the skills from this course, you will be able to apply Auricular Medicine frameworks for increased effectiveness in trauma treatment — for healing of all the hurt emotions that have otherwise become deeply seated in the soul.

EVIDENCE DISCLOSURE: While the methods presented show promising results in practice, their clinical evidence base remains limited due to systemic and methodological constraints that are not fully accommodated within the confines of conventional evidence-based models. Current support comes mainly from observational case reports with recognized bias risks, aligning with a ‘low’ certainty rating under the international standard for Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) in evidence-based medicine.
The course is very good! In 2017 I already did a trauma course with Dr. Bahr in Germany. This one is didactically better!

Your instructors for this course

I am confident that after your own initial experiences with patients, you will further expand Auricular Medicine approaches in your practice. For trauma treatment it is important to distinguish between blockages that maintain trauma of the soul, and blockages that maintain non-trauma related conditions. Soon, you will be uncovering more detailed case history to the specific circumstances and development of the trauma. And, helping patients recover and heal their soul — something truly unique!”

At CIAM we are all absolutely honored at the opportunity to have developed this exclusive course in English with Dr. Bahr — not only because his contributions working with Paul Nogier informed some of the most important foundations of the medicine, but also because his current presentations on healing trauma of the soul  present an ever deeper understanding of new treatment possibilities to even the most experienced practitioners.”
