In this brief segment, Shari B. Kaplan, LCSW emphasizes that merely "releasing" emotional distress is insufficient; individuals must also resolve the underlying trauma, especially those who have endured cancer treatment, which can be profoundly traumatizing. She underscores the critical role of a supportive, integrative care team that bridges mental and physical health services. Kaplan praises the effort to combine these domains and urges broader physician engagement to adopt such integrative treatment modalities for their patients.

Chapters

you can do a lot of releasing, but you do have to resolve it. And I think that's so important, whether you're somebody who has mental health challenges or you've had— you've gone through cancer treatment. The treatment alone is very challenging and traumatizing for many. Absolutely. And I think that having a supportive integrative team is so important. And I love that you are bringing both mental health and physical health together, and it's just such an honor to have you here talking about it. And I really hope we get you talking to more physicians to, to incorporate these types of modalities of treatments with their patients. Thank you.
