あらすじ・解説
In today’s conversation, my guest Louise Baker, an applied neuroscience specialist and I explore the profound impact of fear so many of us experience when we are diagnosed with cancer.
We delve into the neuroscience behind fear, discussing how the brain processes traumatic experiences and the physiological responses that accompany them. Most importantly, Louise offers practical techniques for calming the nervous system and managing anxiety. We explore various strategies through sensory movements and body language.
Louise Baker is an applied neuroscience specialist, an expert in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and she provides transformative support to individuals and their families at the Brain Trust a charity, an organisation supporting brain cancer patients.
