COUNSELLING / LIFE STYLE MANAGEMENT
Core to good medical practice and results is open communication between doctor
and patient. For some, this comes easily and for others, it may take awhile
to reach a certain level of comfort. Understanding one's beliefs, philosophies,
habits, likes, dislikes, emotional health and goals often leads to a more complete
understanding of one's health state. Bad habits, addictions, repetitive mistakes,
chronic stress, ignorance, inflexibility, anger, perfectionism, mood disorders
and lack of vision are some examples of personal factors that can contribute
to unwellness.
At KNC, the mental/emotional state is considered to be as important as is the
physical one. Altering one's lifestyle, addressing long-standing issues and
considering various options can help the healing process. Not only "You
are what you eat", but more significantly, "You are what eats you".
