The diagnosis of a serious illness can turn everything upside down, creating fear, grief, confusion, shock and anger – an emotional rollercoaster you have to navigate while trying calmly and rationally to make decisions about treatment options, life-style changes and the repercussions for your family and all those involved.
Craniosacral therapy sessions can offer an oasis, a time to reconnect to your own core values and the ever-present peaceful centre deep within yourself. It can help some of the shock to subside and allow you to find a breathing space to come to terms what’s happening.
Treatment for serious illness can also be very challengeing. Craniosacral Therapy will not interfere with any treatment you are having, but it can help your body to settle with the effects of the treatment and enable you to feel more at ease.
I have treated people very near to the end of their lives and supported the acceptance of the transition to death.
Families too need support during the process of a family member dying. Craniosacral Therapy can be part of the self care for those offering care and strength to the patient.
