Hi, I’m Gary Barker the creator of the this program.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer then let me help and support you in overcoming the emotional turmoil you are undoubtedly experiencing. Like so many of us, I've personally witnessed the emotional trauma cancer has on individuals, families and friends.
What's my experience?
Before becoming involved in helping cancer sufferers, I started my working career as an electronics engineer. However, in 2004 I decided to head in a new direction and trained to become a hypnotherapist. As a qualified therapist practicing from a modern GP’s surgery, I’ve seen many different clients with many different issues, from people wanting to lose weight or to stop smoking, through to many suffering from the effects of anxiety and phobias. However, due to my working environment I started working more directly with cancer patients, and more accurately helping them comes to terms with the emotional strain of their cancer journey.
Here’s what this has taught me
No one ever knows what’s really going on inside their body and no one ever wants to hear the words “i’m afraid it’s cancer!” but people in general are a lot more resilient than they think, especially when they have hope, direction and a sense of purpose and control.
Medicine has to be the first port of call following a cancer diagnosis and is superb at what it does, with new breakthroughs occurring all the time. However, I became aware that for sufferers without a sense of control and understanding, the cancer journey can be a very lonely, scary and isolating place to be.
So this is my thing... This is what gives me an immense amount of satisfaction. Helping to give cancer sufferers, understanding, awareness, direction and hope. It's also my personal belief that lowering stress levels actually increases the body’s ability to fight disease... This approach to cancer care just makes complete sense to me and I’m hoping it will to you as well!
I’ve helped clients at every stage of their cancer journey, I've worked with clients who’ve just been newly diagnosed and felt like the bottoms just dropped out of their world.
I've helped clients offload their emotional baggage, so they are then free to actively participate in their cancer journey with acceptance and defiance, which is so important.
I’ve helped sufferers face their medical treatment, in particular chemotherapy with openness and willingness.
I've helped loved ones offload their own emotions, so they can positively interact and assist the person in their life that's been diagnosed.
And at the other end of the scale, I’ve helped those who have come to the end of the road, to face the time they have left with acceptance and dignity. Put it this way... I KNOW MY STUFF.
So why do I believe in The Cancer Survivors Toolkit and why do I want you to believe in it as well.
Well, it’s as simple as this, cancer can be such a scary, taboo, emotive subject in our society, but why brush it under the carpet. Why not instead grab the "bull by the horns" and surround yourself with a winning team. A team that includes your doctors, consultants, medical staff, friends and family, but most importantly it includes a focused, kick ass mind-set enhanced by positive lifestyle choices that when combined maximise your chances of recovery... and this is what the Hypno-Survivorship training and its practitioners are there to achieve.
So The Hypno-Survivorship program is the culmination of all my experience in helping cancer sufferers and their loved ones to come to terms with and then fight the good fight against cancer. I’m very proud of this program, having spent an awful lot of time developing and honing it, so it gives the best possible assistance it can to the people that need it most.
