Grief, Loss, & Transitions

Grief, Loss, & Transitions

Coping with Illness

Coping with Illness

In our culture, we often get the message to “fight,” “be strong,” and “stay positive” when it comes to illness. Many people who first come to my office are living in fear of letting down their guard and have additional stress and pain as a result. This kind of stress can actually have a negative impact on healing and illness prevention.
