Guided Imagery during Cancer Treatment
Imagery is the most fundamental language we have. Everything we do is processed through images. The technique of guided imagery is based on the idea that the mind can affect the functions of the body. Guided imagery has been found to be effective in managing stress, anxiety, depression, pain, and the side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. These practices can also promote healing and support patients during complex treatment programs and procedures. In this seminar by Pauline Beggs, RN, you will experience firsthand the powers of guided imagery and learn tools to take with you through your cancer journey and beyond. Register with the Cancer Resource Center at 415-885-3693. 1600 Divisadero St., H-3805.
