Cancer, Trauma & Emotions

A Traditional Medicine Path to Spiritual Wholeness

Could unresolved trauma be the missing piece in understanding cancer? In Cancer, Trauma & Emotions, integrative oncology expert and cancer survivor Brandon LaGreca presents a revolutionary approach to understanding cancer by addressing its deep emotional and traumatic roots. Drawing on research in mind-body science, epigenetics, and neuroscience, LaGreca reveals how adverse childhood experiences, unresolved trauma, and the “Type C” personality coalesce to create the conditions for cancer to develop and thrive. He explains the mechanisms by which emotional wounds impact our physiology and gene expression, potentially leading to disease.

But this book offers more than just theory—it provides a comprehensive toolkit for healing. LaGreca explores a wide range of evidence-based therapies to resolve trauma and restore emotional well-being, including psychotherapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, energy medicine, meditation, and more. He emphasizes the critical importance of addressing the spiritual dimension of healing and tapping into the wisdom of the heart. The book includes powerful patient stories and practical exercises to help readers apply these healing strategies.

Whether you are a cancer patient seeking a more holistic approach to treatment, a survivor looking to prevent recurrence, or a healthcare practitioner wanting to better support your patients, this groundbreaking book offers invaluable insights and strategies. By illuminating the deep connections between our emotions, life experiences, and physical health, Cancer, Trauma & Emotions provides a roadmap for true healing and empowerment. This book will change the way you think about cancer—and life itself.
