Dr. Bernie Siegel:CANCER-THE HOLISTIC APPROACH

REPEAT FROM 3/23/10 >>> Erin Ley's guest, Dr. Bernie Siegel, is both an MD and a NY Times bestselling author. Dr. Bernie Siegel, who prefers to be called “Bernie”, received his surgical training at Yale New Haven Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Bernie retired from his practice as an assistant clinical professor of general and pediatric surgery at Yale in 1989. He did this in order to speak with patients and their caregivers. In 1978 Bernie and his wife Bobbie (Barbara) originated *Exceptional Cancer Patients*, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients' drawings, dreams, images and feeling. ECaP is based on "carefrontation," a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual's life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. Bernie realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of. He's written many wonderful books which include "Love, Medicine & Miracles", and "Help Me To Heal".
