Psychotherapy is a verbal exchange of information designed to improve the client's well-being.

 

Psychotherapy is a treatment that is frequently used to address emotional issues. Cancer diagnosis and treatment can cause acute stress for clients. For many clients, the emotional toll of the illness is more difficult to endure than the physical pain. Psychotherapy allows cancer clients to express their feelings, such as fear, grief, rage, and uncertainty. Having someone listen and let the clean expression of one's feelings can provide tremendous relief.

There is now considerable evidence supporting the influence of the mind on the body, and emotional coping can slightly reduce the physical toll of an illness. This concept is still founded on the mind-body connection.

It is widely acknowledged that a cancer diagnosis has a profound impact on the client's relationship with their family and the functioning of the family unit.

Psychotherapy can strengthen communication and problem-solving skills within the family, helping the client maintain an adequate support system, which is highly beneficial.

Reach out for support and take care of yourself. 💕
