Bernie
Siegel, MD
Bernie
Siegel, MD
(Bernie, as he prefers), founded Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECaP)
in 1978. He is one of the world’s foremost physicians, authors,
motivational speakers and advocates for individuals facing the
challenges of all chronic illnesses. His many articles, best-selling
books, tapes and videos serve as a testimony to his loving commitment
for those who wish to take an active role in their own healing
process. He and his wife Bobbie have introduced the concept of
individual and group therapy based on “carefrontation,” a loving,
safe, therapeutic confrontation enabling everyone to understand
his or her healing potential. Motivational, inspirational and
down-to-earth, Bernie’s approach is one of compassion, caring
and love coupled with a wonderful sense of humor. His message
of hope and love is extended to all.
Although Bernie is no longer able to participate in our training
seminars and retreats, the programs were developed with him and
are based on his pioneering work.
