1. Summary of Presentation on "Research Supporting a Link between Chronic Anxiety and Cancer Progression”
The main theme was research establishing a link between the sympathetic nervous system and tumor progression. Bowen theory suggests that chronic anxiety—generated in the relationship system, but disproportionately absorbed by one family member—activates the sympathetic nervous system. I also reviewed research establishing a link between the SNS and inflammation, which also plays an important role in cancer and countless other clinical conditions.
