People get really angry, they go into self blaming, they feel guilty, especially those with that new age type of attitude that we are responsible for everything in our life then we must be responsible for cancer. That kind of an attitude, those kinds of feelings often happen with cancer and that's what I work with. Helping people see that differently and eliminating the feelings that don't help restore health - like guilt, anger, resentment, doubt, or shame. Shame is a big one, being embarrassed, being really sad, going into depression, feeling overwhelmed, feeling helpless, confused, judged, criticized, powerless are all mental-emotional effects of cancer. I empower people by using eh body-mind-spirit connection also known as psychoneuroimmunology.
