Wellness Through Deep Hypnosis for Cancer Patients
Renowned consulting hypnotist Dr. Scot Giles is best known for his work with cancer patients. Hypnotism is a useful tool during every stage of cancer treatment. For those recently diagnosed, hypnotism can stabilize mood and keep one calm during the initial steps of diagnosis and staging. During active treatment, hypnotism can help with the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy and can even speed post-surgical recovery. When treatment is complete, hypnotism can help one maintain a cancer-healthy lifestyle and control the stress that puts many at risk for further difficulties.
Dr. Giles guides groups through self-hypnosis the first Saturday of the month (remaining 2015 dates include November 7 and December 5) from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at Countryside Church Universalist Unitarian, 1025 N. Smith Street, Palatine. November's topic is Knowing Who Your Friends Really Are. In December, the topic is Finding Real-World Angels. There is no charge, but space is limited and registration is required. To register, either call Kelli Mitchell at 630.654.5197 or e-mail her at kmitchell@wellnesshouse.org.
For 25 years, Hinsdale-based Wellness House has been providing the type of support services for cancer patients and their loved ones that research shows make a difference. With a strong desire to serve more people affected by cancer, 2015 marks the launch of Wellness Beyond Walls, an outreach initiative in which Wellness House partners with existing community organizations to provide specialized support for those affected by cancer. Thanks to the generosity of the individuals, foundations and corporations that provide gifts to Wellness House, all programs offered are available at no cost to participants.

Dr. Giles has been in practice for more than 20 years, with a long record of success and many awards. He is the author of the curriculum used by the National Guild of Hypnotists to train Consulting Hypnotists to do medical hypnotism in the U.S., Great Britain and Canada.
