Why do some patients with emotional trauma not respond to standard TCM treatments, even when all diagnostic signs point in the right direction? This 4-day in-depth course reveals how the 8 Extraordinary Vessels offer a unique pathway to healing that goes far beyond standard TCM approaches. This seminar integrates Chinese medicine concepts, especially based on Jeffrey Yuen’s teachings, with human behavior, neuroscience, and quantum physics.
As you all probably know, the urgency for effective mental health interventions in the Netherlands has never been greater:
These patients need help!
Under the guidance of renowned international expert Sohial Farzam, you’ll embark on a well-thought-out journey into understanding how the 8 Extraordinary Vessels provide a solution for all those struggling with their mental health. They are one of the most powerful yet often overlooked channel systems of Chinese Medicine especially in relation to mental health and emotional trauma.
Core Foundations We’ll Explore
1. History & Evolution

Understanding the deep roots and purpose of these channels isn’t just theoretical – it provides the framework for everything from diagnosis to point selection. We’ll explore practical applications of classical concepts to modern clinical challenges.
Where do we come from, what's the purpose, what is destiny, what's faith, why these channels, where do we go and what should we take with us?
2. Universal Oneness & Intelligence

Following Chuang Tzu’s wisdom that “The person who wants to have right without wrong, order without disorder, does not understand the principles of heaven and earth,” we’ll examine how accepting and working with apparent contradictions leads to more effective treatments.
3. Conception & Utero Development

Learn how pre-natal energies and the generating cycle influence emotional patterns, and how understanding this helps you create more targeted treatments. We’ll explore practical applications for treating birth trauma and developmental issues.
4. Emotions & The Psyche

Discover how emotional imbalances manifest through the Extraordinary Vessels and learn specific point combinations to address them. You’ll master techniques to help patients move from distorted perceptions back to balance.
5. Channels That Tell Our Life Story

Each channel offers unique therapeutic opportunities. You’ll learn precise diagnosis and treatment strategies for working with each vessel to help patients align with their highest values.
6. The Brain, Curious Fu & Quantum

Bridge classical understanding with modern neuroscience to enhance treatment effectiveness. Learn practical applications of current research in psychoneuroimmunology.

Who Should Attend
This course offers great value for both experienced practitioners and students. Previous participants, including seasoned practitioners, have consistently reported that the content exceeded their expectations. Since the 8 Extraordinary Vessels are not extensively covered in standard TCM education, this course fills a crucial knowledge gap that many practitioners have identified as essential for treating complex cases effectively.
While deeply rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine principles, this intensive 4-day course offers an interdisciplinary perspective – incorporating insights from quantum physics, neuroscience, and psychology – to enhance your understanding and application of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels. Dr. Sohial Farzam has designed this advanced training specifically for dedicated TCM practitioners and students who recognize that understanding trauma’s impact on the basic deep human quantum, neurological, and energetic levels (like Spirit, Shen, Ren Mai, Du Mai, Chong Mai) is crucial for achieving the transformative results their patients really need.
Understanding complex theories becomes truly meaningful when applied to real clinical situations. That’s why this 4-day course includes extensive case studies and practical work. Through Dr. Farzam’s detailed analysis of actual cases and guided hands-on practice, participants learn to recognize subtle diagnostic patterns and apply these advanced concepts effectively in their clinical work. This comprehensive practical approach ensures that the theoretical framework directly translates into improved patient outcomes.
