Hueina Su on Cancer Survivor Issues

Coping with the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is a very stressful journey for cancer patients and survivors, complicated by fears, anxiety, grief, and many emotional issues. Physical and emotional stress can wreck havoc in cancer patients' immune function and healing process. Learning how to cope with stress effectively is critical for their recovery and emotional well-being.

In a keynote address at a breast cancer survivorship conference, inspirational speaker and life coach Hueina Su helps one hundred breast cancer patients, survivors and caregivers identify their invisible chaos and root causes of stress and offers coping strategies to remain calm, peaceful and confident.

Hueina Su, MS, BSN, CEC, is an inspirational keynote speaker, best-selling author, mindful wellness expert, certified life coach, and the president of Beyond Horizon Coaching based in Denville, New Jersey.

"Most conventional stress management techniques are important and beneficial, but they often provide temporary relief for the symptoms of stress, not the root cause of the stress, Su says. "For example, yoga, massage, meditation are feel-good techniques. But stress will come back within an hour or two if the root cause of stress isn't addressed.

Su adds that this is why conventional stress management alone does not work. There are other forces that affect your level of stress, and in many cases, these invisible forces are the root cause of your stress. "I call these forces the invisible chaos. They are invisible like electricity, but you can experience their effects. You have to learn how to tame your invisible chaos. Otherwise, you won't have long-lasting stress relief, Su says.

Su pointed out eight common invisible chaos causing emotional and physical stress:
  • I'm not good enough
  • I'm not worthy
  • Chronic people-pleasing
  • Perfectionism
  • Four fears, of success, failure, judgment, rejection
  • Constantly comparing yourself
  • Ghosts from the past
  • Self-limiting beliefs
  • < /li>
Since June 2010, Su has been leading a Mindful Wellness Coaching and Stress Management Program at Sparta Cancer Center in Sparta, New Jersey. Over 80 cancer patients and caregivers have participated and benefited from Su's stress relief coaching program.

"The well-being of cancer caregivers and patient care staff is just as important as that of cancer patients. Having worked with cancer and other terminally ill patients as a registered nurse, I experienced first-hand the high level of stress and its negative impact on physical health and emotional well-being. This is why I wrote my best-selling book Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others, Su said.
