How to take a consciously mindful role in your own healing and recovery—from a cancer survivor and hypnotherapist. A cancer diagnosis can bring with it shock, anger, and fear. Add to that a feeling of disconnection from the body and the prospect of facing a mountain of technical information, and it's hard to know what to do next. Take Charge of Your Cancer offers step-by-step direction for managing the journey of healing and recovery. Coach, cancer survivor, and former health policy lobbyist Norman Plotkin has mastered the key steps that give cancer patients the power to influence outcomes and make their bodies their business. Take Charge of Your Cancer is for cancer patients who want proven tools that make a real difference, including tools that engage the power of the subconscious mind. Being an active participant in the healing process is critical for recovery. People who feel more in control of their own wellbeing are more likely to make sustained lifestyle changes to improve their health. Reframing cancer to be an opportunity for personal growth—a challenge rather than a threat—can transform a cancer diagnosis into a positive turning point, one that redirects toward healing, surviving, and thriving. Take Charge of Your Cancer is the guide for that journey.
