Episode 064: Why Fear Fuels Cancer — And How to Rewire Your Subconscious to Heal

What if the mind is not just a supporting player in healing, but the stage upon which healing happens? In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Sylvie Beljanski speaks with Avinoam Lerner, a cancer and trauma recovery specialist and clinical hypnotherapist, about his Mindful Remission approach to cancer care. Drawing on 25+ years of experience and the science of psychoneuroimmunology, Lerner explains how the subconscious mind, chronic stress, and old trauma patterns influence immune function—and how clinical hypnotherapy can help patients navigate treatment with less fear and greater agency. \- - - - - **About the Guest:** **Avinoam Lerner** is a cancer and trauma recovery specialist, clinical hypnotherapist, and TEDx speaker with over 25 years of experience working with people facing cancer and trauma.
