I believe that the treatment of the emotional trauma of cancer is as important as the treatment of the physical disease. Psychosocial support and psychotherapy are the pillars of healing for the survivors of treatment for life threatening illness as well as for the growing population of people who live with cancer. The capacity to look within and beyond cancer as well as developing a strong self- advocacy are all key for healing and moving on with your life. When untreated, the emotional wounds of cancer continue to cause suffering that you do not need to endure.  It is the medicine of the soul integrated with the medicine for the body that creates healing.
