Severe Physical Illness

  

Whether you have a severe illness like cancer, or a variety of medical conditions that are adding up to a huge stressor, life is now centered around taking care of yourself.

Holistic counseling can help:

  • Support you as you cry and grieve for the losses in your life – sometimes we hesitate to tell family and friends how we really feel, especially when they are trying to help
  • Explore various ways to reduce stress and allow the body to relax into a healing state
  • Talk with you about spiritual concerns that may arise
  • Discuss complementary options that integrate into your traditional medical treatment plan
  • Assist you with resources for integrative care or treatments that you choose

Complementary options I provide that target mind-body communication, reduce stress, and increase relaxation include:

  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Guided imagery
  • Progressive muscle relaxation
  • Body-focused or somatic meditations that help you tune into the body’s messages
  • Artistic/creative expression
  • Bioenergetic methods

Other therapies to explore:

  • Restorative or therapeutic yoga
  • Nutrition support
  • Acupuncture/Acupressure
  • Massage or other body-based techniques
  • Reflexology
  • Music therapy
  • Aromatherapy
  • Other energy-based methods
