Yes, it happens. Yes, it’s normal. Yes, it’s healing.
Many individuals experience an emotional release during or after acupuncture. These responses are natural and a sign that your body and mind are processing and letting go of built-up tension.
What Emotional Release During Acupuncture Can Look Like
Emotional release can manifest in different ways, such as:
- Crying during acupuncture.
- Tears welling up after your session.
- Feeling strong emotional reactions during or after treatment.
These reactions may feel uncomfortable or unexpected, but they are completely normal. They will pass, and more often than not, they leave you feeling better, lighter, and more at peace.
Why Emotional Release Happens During Acupuncture
Acupuncture is profoundly relaxing for the body, mind, and soul. As your muscles unclench, your shoulders drop, and tension fades, this physical relaxation often extends to your emotional state.
This process can feel like:
- Crying or tearing up as suppressed emotions surface.
- A weight being lifted, leaving you feeling soothed and unburdened.
- Relief from emotional upheaval or stress that has been building up.
Crying is the most common emotional release during acupuncture, especially if you’re navigating a stressful life event or emotional upheaval.
The Healing Power of Emotional Release
Crying and expressing your feelings is part of emotional regulation and healing. There’s no need to suppress your emotions during a session—let them flow. Emotional release can lead to:
- Better emotional balance.
- Improved mental clarity.
- A deeper sense of relaxation and peace.

A Patient’s Testimonial on Emotional Healing
Here’s a heartfelt review from Kelsie Oliver, a patient who experienced profound emotional and physical relief after acupuncture:
“I have known Melanie for a few years now! She’s always wonderful to see! I just started seeing Melanie for anxiety just over a month ago, and the difference her treatments have made on my physical symptoms of anxiety have been magical! I am feeling like my body is floating at the joints instead of the constant dull aches that I had just gotten used to.
She’s brought me to tears after each treatment, and the release is like the best cry of your life—you feel refreshed and more free afterward! Incredible experience seeing Melanie! She is SO intelligent and knows her stuff! Thank you, Melanie!”
