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
