Can Healing Trauma Help Your Body Fight Cancer?

  1. Can Healing Trauma Help Your Body Fight Cancer? Gregory Anne Cox 36:48

If you’ve wondered whether your mental and emotional state affects your body’s ability to heal cancer, the answer — backed by 50+ years of science — is yes.

Avinoam Lerner is a holistic therapist, clinical hypnotherapist, and cancer recovery coach with 25 years of experience working at the intersection of trauma and cancer recovery.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why unresolved trauma creates chronic immune suppression — and how that connects to cancer

• The science of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI): what it is, why your oncologist doesn’t mention it, and why that’s not the whole story

• The difference between conscious and subconscious mind — and why treating only the physical body leaves half the healing equation unaddressed

• How clinical hypnotherapy bypasses the conscious mind to update the patterns driving Stress and immune dysfunction

• Why self-blame is both scientifically inaccurate and actively harmful to recovery

• When to start this work — and why stage doesn’t matter as much as you think

• Avinoam’s new book, Mindful Remission, and how to access his programs

Me? I'm a chill late 60-something, (very late), women's health coach, podcaster, wife, step mother, Gigi to 2 grand baby boys, 3 cats, 2 goats, and many chickens. Former pro chef turned entrepreneur. My current ventures include BeMoreMarketable, copywriting for coaches and Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle, where I host a podcast of the same name and write on healthy aging topics that mainstream media skips. I untangle the confusion around health trends and bust the myths around aging so common today--like "this is what happens at your age." What age is that I want to know!
