Thursday, January 2, 2025 • Duration 34:08

In this episode, I introduce to you how I systematically look at a patient’s tongue. I discuss how I communicate with a patient so they properly display their tongue for an accurate diagnosis, as well as Colour, Coating, Cracking, and Shape. I continue to share with you my “Thinking in Acupoints” approach.

EP 3: The Initial Interview

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, November 7, 2024 • Duration 33:37

As you may have heard, talking doesn’t cook the rice. Therefore, we shouldn’t allow the initial interview to crowd out the treatment time and cause either the acupuncture treatment to run short, or the appointment run long. In this episode, I cover how to conduct an initial interview so you can get a diagnosis with focus. Using an acronym that you can take anywhere with you, you’ll learn how to ask the right questions and get an idea of how to ask succinct follow-up questions.

Do you want your very own copy of The Initial Interview? Head on over to kentonsefcik.com/shop to get yourself one for $10USD. Students and beginning practitioners have been using my resources for years to help them gain more confidence in the skills they went to school for.

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, October 24, 2024 • Duration 34:14

I have been in practice since 2007 and I still don’t have all the answers when a patient presents themselves to my clicic. However, I can deliver an effective and balanced acupuncture treatment by using a four-step prescription building process. In the episode, I discuss my process and give real-world examples.
