When you receive difficult news about your health

One of my clients was recently diagnosed with a serious medical disease, and she was sharing with me that it was hard to know how to manage all of the different feelings that are coming up for her. One minute she’s sad, the next minute she’s angry, the next she’s optimistic about her ability to fight for her health, the next she’s overwhelmed, and the next she’s worried about how her illness will impact her family. 

I reassured her that it’s completely normal for her to have a wide range of complex emotions. In fact, there’s no one right way to react to a new, or even an ongoing, diagnosis. The most important thing is that we allow ourselves to feel exactly what we’re feeling and not try to push away the uncomfortable feelings. 

Watch as I tap through a common technique that I use with clients as a trauma-informed tapping practitioner, which is called the ‘rant’.
