The mind and emotions are powerful tools which every cancer patient can control. Many patients have found that learning to tap into the healing power of their mind has helped them manage & even improve their quality of life.
This 2-day workshop will show you how to break through the vicious circle that keeps you from healing and learn techniques that can enhance your quality of life and enhance your treatment.
Workshop Facilitator:
Dr Marianne Fitzgerald–Klein
Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th October 2006
Times: 9.30am – 5pm each day
Park Crescent Conference Centre, London W1
An intense and transforming two days with the UK’s pre-eminent cancer psychotherapist.
Can our minds and emotions be as powerful as chemotherapy and radiotherapy in cancer treatment? If so, how do we do it and what are the techniques we can use?
Cancer is undoubtedly the ultimate challenge. It asks so many questions of us - and yet we must answer them at a time when we are probably gripped by fear.
It is a vicious circle that is well-known and recognized by our workshop instructor, Dr Marriane Fitzgerald–Klein who has over 25 years of experience in working with people that are affected by chronic or severe illness such as cancer. In that time she has worked as a transpersonal psychotherapist, classical homeopath, healer and retreat guide.
WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER OVER THE TWO DAYS
Over the two days you will learn techniques for managing your quality of life which can also enhance your cancer treatment. Dr Fitzgerald-Klein will show you the best techniques, with lectures & vital practical sessions.
§ The current views of the psychology of cancer and of the psychological processes and interventions related to cancer and cancer care
§ Experience how transpersonal work can help the cancer patient
§ How to reduce emotional distress
§ How to enhance communication (with families, friends & your doctors)
§ How to reduce treatment’s side effects and improve your quality of life
“The workshop instructor Dr Marianne Fitzgerald–Klein believes the power of the mind plays a key role in cancer treatment”
HELPING FAMILIES
Patients aren’t the only ones who can benefit from the techniques. Family members & carers (sometimes termed secondary patients) can become as distressed as the actual patients. Their distress in turn takes a toll on patients.
These techniques can also help them manage stress, overcome fear and feelings of isolation. So instead they can take an active part in the patients care.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This workshop is open to both practitioners and cancer patients.
THE PATIENT
If you have cancer, have had cancer or are someone who cares for a patient with cancer, this two- day workshop is one you must attend. You will learn about the best techniques and practices which have helped cancer patients.
THE PRACTITIONER
This workshop will enable you to examine your clinical work and deepen it with an understanding of psychological and transpersonal issues involved in cancer care.
You will come away with an insightful understanding of what it means and have the chance to interact with other people who, like you, want to offer more.
