Jed Shlackman, LMHC, treats clients in the Miami and South Florida area who are seeking to address a variety of health and wellness concerns. Here Jed has provided an explanation of his approach to providing support for those dealing with cancer diagnosis and treatment challenges or concerns.Cancer is one of the most common health challenges that people in our society may face, with nearly every family affected by cancer in one way or another. Just the tests and diagnoses of cancer often trigger a great deal of fear and anxiety - something which can in itself worsen the prognosis for recovery from cancer. It is well documented that psychological and spiritual factors have a great impact on the course of cancer and other illnesses, affecting whether the person will recover or have the disease progress. There is also a consensus among holistic health professionals that unresolved emotions and past traumas are a major risk factor for the development of cancer. Thus, treating a cancer patient on the psychological, emotional, spiritual, and subtle energetic levels is a key part of a plan for recovery. As a veteran counselor, hypnotherapist, and Reiki Master/spiritual energy healer, Jed Shlackman, LMHC has assisted many cancer patients in going through this personal healing journey. Jed sees cancer not as an enemy to just "fight," but as a wake up call to show us where we are out of harmony with life, with our spiritual essence, and within ourselves. Research on spontaneous remission supports this view, as the common factors in recovery usually involve a shift in consciousness and some form of personal healing or spiritual awakening that releases the density and discord that fueled the cancer in the first place. Whatever medical treatments you may choose to undergo to treat cancer (conventional or alternative) you can be helped enormously by addressing the emotional and spiritual aspects of your being.
