📚 THE HEALING SHELF | BOOK 01
RADICAL HOPE
Kelly A. Turner, PhD, with Tracy White
What if healing could involve more than just treating the disease?
In Radical Hope, Kelly A. Turner explores the experiences of exceptional survivors of cancer and other serious illnesses, highlighting 10 key healing factors that emerged from their stories and her research.
🌿 The 10 factors explored in the book:
1. 🏃♀️ Exercise
2. 🧘♀️ Spiritual connection
3. 💪 Empowering yourself
4. 😊 Increasing positive emotions
5. ❤️ Following your intuition
6. 🌱 Releasing suppressed emotions
7. 🥗 Changing your diet
8. 🌿 Herbs & supplements
9. 🎯 Having strong reasons for living
10. 🤝 Increasing social support
Each chapter combines a survivor's personal story with discussion around that particular factor, offering ideas for reflection and personal wellbeing.
💜 What makes this book special?
It reminds us that the cancer journey is not only about scans, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.
Emotional wellbeing, relationships, purpose, movement and taking an active role in one's health can also be meaningful parts of the journey.
✨ A book about hope, resilience and exploring the many dimensions of healing.
Important: The approaches discussed in this book should complement—not replace—evidence-based cancer treatment. Dietary changes, herbs and supplements can interact with cancer treatments, so they should be discussed with your treating oncology team.
