A Tapping practice you can do with your own two hands to resolve the two feelings that tend to show up in treatment: Helplessness and Hopelessness. They rarely announce themselves. They arrive quietly, usually late at night, and they sound something like this:

Nothing I do makes any difference.

And nothing is going to get better.

If you have surgery scheduled, you are probably discovering something that rarely gets discussed at pre-op appointments: the waiting is its own ordeal. The procedure has a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and a care team. The three weeks before it have only you, at 2 a.m., rehearsing everything that could go wrong.

We all know that it’s important to keep our stress levels in check, but often, with the pace of life, and certainly with the onset of an illness such as cancer, that is easier said than done. If you’ve tried different ways to maintain a healthy level of stress but nothing worked, here is what I teach every one of my clients.

For over twenty-five years, I have worked with cancer patients in the Boston area using an advanced form of clinical hypnotherapy as the primary therapeutic tool in their recovery support. The results I have witnessed in that time are consistent with what the research has been showing for decades: that the mind is not a bystander in the healing process, and that addressing it directly, through clinical hypnotherapy, produces measurable, meaningful outcomes for people navigating cancer.

In The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (1963), Dr. Joseph Murphy famously wrote, “Your subconscious mind is your book of life.” As a hypnotherapist, I’ve spent over two decades delving into the fascinating world of the mind, and this powerful statement has proven itself true time and time again.

Just as magnetized steel can lift heavy loads far beyond its physical weight, your body can more readily heal itself and function at its optimal capacity when activated with the right mindset.

Your subconscious mind is the storehouse of information and beliefs that operate beneath the surface of our conscious awareness. Operating 24/7 without conscious effort controls countless bodily functions - from body temperature to hormone production to immune response. It works tirelessly to maintain your state of health, and it can be intentionally directed or imprinted as a mental mechanism to support and promote your physical healing.
