Breast cancer
This essay I will write about the possible uses of hypnosis in the treatment of breast cancer. Whilst showing an understanding of the physical and psychological aspects of the condition and the role that hypnosis might play
The reason why hypnotherapy can be relevant with cancer patients is because mind, body and spirit are interconnected and any treatment needs to take this into account. The advances in medical science have been due to greater understanding of how the body works and this has led to an emphasis on physical treatment radiotherapy, chemotherapy ect, but the mind has its part to play as well.
Hypnotherapy can therefore be used alongside the conventional medical treatment for cancer.
What can a hypnotherapist do to help somebody who has cancer?
