What to do if i stick needles through my ears to release stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmm: Are you self-harming to distract from stress? That would not be healthy. Sticking needles into the ear canal would be very dangerous. If you want to decrease stress - see an acupucturist who can properly place needles (check out the auricular trauma protocol) in the external ear.
