Research has shown that chronic distress can injure physical health through a web of biological pathways. Certainly a diagnosis of any life-threatening illness can be traumatic, life disrupting and deeply disturbing. Emotional reactions to severe prognosis can, understandably, alternate from anxiety and panic, anger and outrage, to depression and apathy. Responding to these feelings – energizing each person's unique, internal resources – can ease the biochemical effects of stress and redirect energy toward healing. Open communications and techniques for inner healing can help provide solace, improvements in one's biology and nurture hope.

During private and small-group sessions, strategies will be explored that can help nurture the mind and strengthen immune responsiveness, increasing your ability to fight disease while generating life-affirming attitudes and inner peace. By using approaches such as biofeedback, progressive relaxation, guided imagery, meditation, cognitive restructuring, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), hypnotherapy, and solution-focused counseling, emotional pain and physical discomfort can be relieved.

Attention to the dynamic interplay of mind-body-spirit can engender a mode of presence in which greater resilience and recovery are the results.
