Guided Imagery for Cancer works as an integrative cancer treatment, also known as EFT for Cancer. It aims to improve recovery and outcomes for patients of all ages and with all types of cancer.
There is more to cancer than the doctor can see, tough or remove.
We know conventional cancer treatment do save lives but they are not enough because the cancer comes back too often. Medical methods only focus on the cancer itself – the tumors, the disease however there is more to cancer then what the doctor can see, touch and remove. Immersive Healing compliment and enhances conventional treatments efficacy. It is an evidence based treatment designed to heal the mind patterns that promoted and produced illness in the first place.
It is based on three basic premises [1]:
1. The body’s natural immune-system is designed to defend against all illnesses, cancer included.
2. Harmful states of mind (primarily stress, hopelessness, etc.) and negative subconscious programming can suppress the immune system.
3. If these harmful states of mind can be resolved and healed, the immune response can be revived and cancer prevented or healed.
In essence, all healing is self-healing, and at the root of every healing process is the decision to be in control of this process. Balance can naturally be restored within the body and healing will effortlessly take place when the Mind patterns which produced illness in the body are addressed and healed.
Failing to do so, the internal subconscious calling for self-punishment and self-mutilation (root cause of illness) will continue to echo within. In order for the healing of the body to take place, we need to have a healing of the Mind.
Part of what defines us as human-beings is that we are emotional beings, capable of expression. Sometimes, though, it seems safer to suppress hurts and pains rather than express them. It can be overwhelming, or even a bit frightening to open up and let go of our fears, anger, guilt and shame or even admit to their existence.
From a mind-body perspective, suppressed and unresolved emotional conflicts and trauma, compounded over the years, build an internal pressure. Any illness, including chronic disease or cancer, can be caused, worsen or aggravated by this internal pressure.
The by-product of the internal pressure is a state of disease. It is the non-physical aspects of the disease i.e. harmful beliefs, erroneous perceptions and emotional pain that fuels it. These aspects translate via the natural mind-body connection into the environment within the physical body. Such a stressful internal environment is likely to develop a state of physical disease.
To facilitate and promote self-healing of these non-physical aspects, two powerful dynamic and therapeutic tools, hypnotherapy [2] and Neuro-Linguistic Programming [3], have been combined. These techniques have been around for some time, and have proved effective individually. However, integrated into one healing modality, their efficacy increases.
Insurance
Although I do not accept insurance, I can provide you with a Superbill. In some cases, especially when your medical doctor prescribed you Hypnotherapy, the combination of Prescription and Superbill may help your insurance company reimburse you a portion of session’s fees. Many clients will not receive any reimbursement.
