Program Overview:
is an alternative-based service that offers cancer patients and their support providers an essential complement to mainstream cancer treatment and traditional support groups.
Alternative healing methods recognize that a person is more than their body. Alternative methods agree on one thing: healing and the healing process is influenced, and can be enhanced or hindered by a person's
nonphysical state or condition. The nonphysical includes a person's thoughts, thinking, feelings, emotions, expectations, beliefs, outlook, attitude, and much more. These subjective qualities of yourself can
be used to support the healing your body. They also directly determine the patient's experience of themselves in relation to the ailment and healing/treatment process. A holistic approach to
healing brings the subjective factors and consciousness into consideration. Doing so is important so that the treatment plan is not strictly limited and exclusively focused at the level of symptoms and symptom
relief.
Why Holistic Hypnotherapy for Cancer Treatment?
Holistic Hypnotherapy offers the most immediate and direct way to enter into and creatively work with the subjective realm for purposes of health, healing and well-being. You do not need to take medication,
learn how to relax, visualize or meditate in order to reach the inner state of expanded awareness that is so useful for healing and deep relaxation. Holistic Hypnotherapy is a wonderfully pleasant experience
that allows your conscious mind time to rest, relax and detach from the thoughts, worries and concerns of daily life. Holistic Hypnosis mostly works with the other 95% of your mind (subconscious) and does not
rely on the conscious mind (5%) to facilitate and enhance the healing process.
Sessions can provide overall healing support or they can be used to address very specific concerns such as pain control,
nausea, reduction of unpleasant side-effects caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy, claustrophobia/fear. Each session also restores deep balance among the body, mind and emotions.
Is the mind/body connection real?
Science and western medicine are only now just beginning to acknowledge the fundamental connection between physical health, mind and
consciousness. Progress into the area of whole-person healing by mainstream medicine is slow going at best. This is evidenced by the simple observation that a walk down any ordinary hospital hallway
typically is experienced to be deadening to the soul, sterile, depressing, and perhaps even a little scary- hardly the conditions that support mental, emotional, spiritual comfort and security which go to enhance
one's healing process. A few examples that demonstrate the mind/body connection: a.) Think back to a time when you were really upset, hurt or angry inside.
How did your body respond? What was your breathing like? What
about your heart rate? What caused your body's state to change?
What triggered a change in your body's biochemistry in that moment?
b.) Imagine yourself in a very peaceful and serene setting, perhaps in
a garden or resting peacefully on a beautiful beach at sunset. What
happens to your body when you go to these types of places in your
mind? It is
obvious there is a connection between the body and mind. In fact, there may not be a separation between the two at all at the most fundamental level. Bodymind or mindbody is probably a more accurate way
to refer to yourself.
Cancer Healing Support picks up where
mainstream medicine leaves off:
This program provides a very deep level of personal support, care and presence that is seriously lacking to cancer patients and their family members in today's health care environment. Simply having the
experience of being heard and listened to about your personal concerns can be challenging. Appointments held in the comfort and convenience of your home is almost unheard of these days.
Cancer Healing Support recognizes the importance of such matters. This program can provide you inspiration and hope, as well as support and help for dealing with the depths of fear, hopelessness and
despair. Additionally,. this program does not dismiss, discredit or discount the patient's religious or spiritual beliefs and practices. For those open to religion and spirituality, the program
acknowledges the very important role that prayer, spirituality, faith and religion have in the healing process. In fact there is growing evidence that prayer, religion and spirituality serve a central role in
cancer healing. It is often cited as one of several "critical factors" associated with long-term survival rates.
Do you claim to be able to cure cancer?
No. The Cancer Healing Support
program does not claim to be able to cure a person of cancer. The program is intended to complement traditional cancer treatment. The objectives of the program are fourfold:
1.) Create and establish the inner conditions for the mind, body and emotions that are known to enhance and support health and physical healing. Concentrate, focus and direct the physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual energies towards health and support for healing the body. Utilize the mind/body connection to the utmost degree in order to help heal the body of cancer. 2.) Enhance and
improve the lived, subjective experience of the patient in regard to cancer, treatment and the healing process. This includes all aspects of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience of
cancer and healing. 3.) Provide practical and useful assistance for coping with cancer. This includes: stress release, mental/emotional detachment, overcoming fear and negativity, pain
control, reducing discomfort from chemotherapy/ radiation therapy side effects, fear of needles, claustrophobia (PET scan), surgery anxiety, postoperative recovery. 4.) Provide personal support to
the caregiver/s and support person. This is important because the support person or primary caregiver is an integral part of the patient's healing process. The program recognizes, from a holistic
perspective, that there is a link or interconnection between the patient and the caregiver that affects and influences the healing process. Sessions for the support person address: stress, worry, guilt,
helplessness, anger, energy balance, inner strength and healing, and more.
