**MAY CAUSE TRIGGERS**
From Stage IV Liver Cancer & Drug Addiction to Full Recovery With Steve Patterson

A cancer diagnosis affects your mental and physical health. How do you embrace positivity and turn things around when you’ve been termed a physical death with only six months to 3 years to live?

In this episode, Steve Patterson joins us to explore his healing journey after a stage four liver cancer diagnosis and drug addiction. Steve is a former counselor in addiction and life transformation,  a certified coach, and an author.

In this session, Patterson shares his journey from his diagnosis of liver failure in 2011, being termed with physical death with only six months to 3 years to live, a liver cancer diagnosis in 2017, to getting a liver transplant in 2019.  Besides, he shares the impact of the shamanic practice on his healing journey, the inspiration behind his book, acknowledging you’re not always right, and forms of harm reduction when you’re stuck in drug addiction.
