Butterflies
(Angel-Girl at 7 Years Old)
I lean into Angel-Girl's room and announce, "15-minute Client Alert!" Today I have a late afternoon appointment with a stage 4 breast cancer client in my home office. When I can't find a baby sitter for Angel-Girl, she stays home with me when I am in session. She loves helping me prep the house for the client.
"Okay, Daddy!"
Angel-Girl is dressed in a pale yellow T-shirt and her lucky light-yellow overalls. I ask her, "Isn't this about the third day in a row you are wearing your overalls?"
"Definitely. They give me ideas for my butterfly project. I have to get her ready in time."
I want to ask her what she means but I have to stay focused for the client so I say, "Makes sense to me!"
She jumps up and goes into my office and studies its readiness. She does this with total seriousness. It just cracks me up.
"The mountain rug has got icky on it," she says. This is her code for the Tibetan rug!
"Okay, you know what to do." I head for the kitchen to make her a snack for later, when I'm in the session.
She goes into the closet and gets the sweeper and I hear her rolling it back and forth in earnest over the rug, getting all the dust.
"Anything else?" I yell from the kitchen.
"The yellow things."
"You mean notepads."
"Yup."
"Okay, got get one from the closet and a pen."
"Roger that." Once in a while, not too often, I get a very clear clairvoyant hit to let Angel-Girl meet the clients. Some of them have been veterans I have been honored to work with over the years, to help them deal with challenges of integrating back into the world. That's where she learned the phrase "roger that."
I finish making her snack and go to check her work. When I come into the office, she is adjusting the pillows on the couch, very focused on making things look perfect.
"It's cozy now!"
"Looks great! Good job!"
I squat down at her height and open my arms for another of our rituals: "Pre-client hug." She runs into my arms. "You are the best helper!"
"Thanks, Daddy." These pre-client hugs always help me get into my heart.
The doorbell rings and I stand up. "That's the client! I left your snack in your room."
"Yummy!" she says, going into her room.
I lean in and say, "Okay, I will check in on you at the halfway point." She occupies her time with drawing, school projects, reading and the million things she is fascinated with. My client, Cathy, has been told by the oncologists there is very little they can offer her, so for the past year she has dedicated herself to a world-class alternative protocol. She has had great success and shown almost no sign of cancer! A few months back, her numbers took a tiny reversal which prompted her to schedule a retreat with me. She knows she hasn't spent enough time on the emotional part yet.
My area of expertise is identifying the possible emotional contributor to getting the cancer and helping clients clear it. As a stage 4 throat cancer survivor myself, I think cancer patients and survivors sense I understand their feelings and feel comfortable with me. And in my four-year cancer journey, I utilized both alternative and conventional treatment, so it gives me experience of both worlds.
Cathy is 44 with three kids all under 14, a great marriage, and if you saw her you would never know she had a serious life threatening cancer. She has striking green eyes and looks super healthy and fit. Alternative protocols for cancer can be very challenging to say the least. The dietary restrictions in her particular protocol are severe and a small percentage of folks would be able to deal with it long term. She is a hard-core warrior and has my deep admiration. Cathy is what Dr. Bernie Siegel would call an "exceptional cancer patient," willing to do what it takes! ......
