Beat the odds of feeling bad!! |
|
Of course the odds of feeling bad are high when you or your loved one is diagnosed with cancer or other life-threatening illness.
Negative emotions that ruin the quality of life are frequently not properly addressed in patients and even less for the families. Clinicians, but also families and patients themselves perceive depression, anxiety, fear and worry as expected and unavoidable consequences of a serious illness. Simonton program and Beat the Odds sessions prove that assumption wrong and help free patients and the families from the grip of negative emotions.
