One more thing that is of importance when we are dealing with a traumatic experience like cancer, and maybe one of the most important aspects of it: the circle.
The circle around us. The close family, the close friends. How did they react to the news of cancer? how are they reacting now? Their reaction has a huge impact on the person who is going through trauma.
There is pain, emotional pain if the support is missing. If there is coldness, if there is silence. One more component of the trauma to deal with.
Tapping can help with the pain of the holes in the circle of support.
