Healing Through Emotions: Laura Lummer's Approach to Breast Cancer Recovery
Suppressing your emotions, denying what you’re feeling or, worse yet, telling yourself you have no right to feel what you’re feeling will not heal you.
Breast cancer treatment is not just a physical battle; it’s an emotional and spiritual journey too. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor, tackles the often-overlooked emotional turmoil that accompanies the disease. Laura knows firsthand how society’s expectations to 'stay strong' can add to the burden. She challenges this notion by advocating for a different approach: sitting with your painful emotions instead of pushing them away.
Imagine giving yourself permission to say, 'I’m not okay'. Laura explains why acknowledging your pain is crucial for healing and how it can transform your narrative from being a victim to becoming a victor. This episode is packed with practical advice on embracing vulnerability and using it as a tool for recovery. Laura also introduces her program, Revivify, designed to help women shed their warrior shields and build a life that’s even more fulfilling after treatment.
Whether you’re a survivor, a caregiver, or someone supporting a loved one through breast cancer, this episode offers a compassionate space to understand and process the complex emotions involved.
