Breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery is one of the most traumatic and difficult journeys that a women can experience, with the emotional healing often taking far longer than the physical pain to dissipate. As a survivor, you are expected to move on with life after being given the overjoying news of being clear of the cancer, but all too often patients are left feeling mentally exhausted and depleted, unaware of how to move on to the next stage in their lives. As treatment support systems are withdrawn and family members and friends figure you are now ‘over the worst’ of the disease, the real business of moving on has to start. For many, the emotional healing is only now beginning.

Michael Mahoney, a clinical Hypnotherapist from the UK has spent the last 5 years researching and testing an exciting new CD Program aimed at this gap in the market for breast cancer survivors. Titled An Aid to Emotional Recovery After Breast Cancer , the CD has been designed to assist patients during and following breast cancer recovery, addressing the sometimes forgotten emotional healing necessary after such a traumatic experience. Creating a positive mindset to assist with physical and emotional recovery, the program has been reviewed and accepted in hospitals throughout the UK by a panel of numerous specialists, oncologists and doctors.

The aim is to provide emotional support for women who may not have access to this sort of program in their hospitals and communities, with future plans to make the CD more accessible through a network of resources and outlets.

The CD is currently available to breast cancer survivors at http://www.breastcancercd.co.uk/index.html
