Psychotherapy Reinforces Cancer Recovery

Mind/body medicine can greatly reinforce the cancer patient's process of recovery says noted alternative medicine expert Burton Goldberg. The intense fear and anxiety evoked by the diagnosis of cancer can adversely affect both body and mind. Uncertainty about the future and not knowing what may be happening inside one's body tend to ignite and magnify such fears. In some cases, people become fixated on past behaviors, believing they may have contributed to the cancer, and this leads to feelings of guilt or self-blame.

"Psychotherapy and meditation can diminish these negative emotions or render them less toxic to the individual," says Dr. Etienne Callebout, M.D.

Burton Goldberg discusses Dr. Callebout's model for cancer treatment and the value of psychotherapy and psychosocial support in his acclaimed video Cancer Conquest. Click the post title to view a sample of this amazing 2-hour documentary.
