Dr. Bernie Siegel is a best-selling author, lecturer, and founder of Exceptional Cancer Patients. ECaP is a specific form of individual and group therapy, utilizing patients’ drawings, dreams, images, and feelings. It is based on “carefrontation,” a safe loving, therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment, and healing of the individual’s life. The physical, spiritual, and psychological benefits that followed, led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we’re all capable of.

Bernie, as he prefers to be called, is a retired pediatric general surgeon and leading teacher of the mind-body connection. He has been named one of the Top 20 Spiritually Influential Living People on the Planet by the Watkins Review. His NY Times best seller, Love, Medicine and Miracles, revolutionized the way doctors and patients harnessed the power of the mind to heal. Bernie is also the author of 18 other books including one of my favorites, 365 Prescriptions for the Soul.

During our conversation, Bernie shares what led him to start Exceptional Cancer Patients, the questions he asked that helped his patients heal, his #1 advice for someone who wants to avoid or heal from disease, and how he used paintings to learn about his patients’ lives.
