A number of years agoBernie Siegel, M.D. wrote Love, Medicine & Miracles: Lessons Learned About Self-Healing From a Surgeon’s Experience with Exceptional Patients. It’s a wonderful book I have used many times in a class I co-taught decades ago. In the book Dr. Siegel mentions an encounter with a cancer patient in the hospital who was still smoking, though smoking was one of the causes of her cancer. The patient said, and I’m paraphrasing from memory, to Dr. Siegel: ‘I suppose you’re going to tell me to stop smoking.’ To which he replied: ‘No, I’m going to tell you to love yourself, and then you’ll stop smoking.’ Read the rest of the article here: http://www.healthnutritionexercise.net/the-emotional-side-of-overeating-for-children-and-adults.html
