A diagnosis of cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme disease, or other illnesses the care for which can go on for months to years, sends an individual and his or her family into a state of crisis. Adjusting to this new circumstance can place enormous emotional and financial stress on a patient and her family at the workplace and at home. At Common Sense Therapy, we work with your medical team to guide you through the emotional labyrinth as you navigate hospital clinics, diagnostic procedures, treatments, and new medical technologies. It is our philosophy, that one’s emotional state and health status are intimately intertwined, and that learning ways to manage the fear and uncertainty can help you cope with symptoms of pain, nausea, fatigue and weakness. Our mind-body approach rooted in the field of Behavioral Medicine aims to return you as quickly as possible to an optimal level of functioning at home and at work.
