RECOVERY is an open ended word and has a sense of return. How do you use the term in consulting to your patients?

Thank you very much. You used the term recovery which feels positive, hopeful and uncertain. RECOVERY is an open ended word and has a sense of return. How do you use the term in consulting to your patients. Is it a state of mind, a state of well-being, a frame of reference? Is it prescribed or self selected. Is it recovery from the disease and the fear or is it the acceptance and victory over the anxiety that comes with hearing YOU HAVE CANCER and your blood levels are rising? Words are so critical in reframing ones journey. RECOVERY old ground or new ground? These are real issues in our world! The journey is slow and the orientation and navigation seem to test ones belief the destination. Uncertainty has its place as does the mystery of survival as when we are on the ocean and all we have is our few skills and belief. Does the physician have the MAP? I wander and wonder; and believe the physician has the power to keep the winds in the sails if the words are directive and hold a potency for deep healing. I have started the guided Imagery collective to assist in navigating these unchartered waters which are the unique landscape of each being. Thank You again.
