Cancer is life-changing, not only physically but also emotionally. It affects not only the patient, but also those closest to them. In our experience, it is important for people facing a cancer diagnosis to feel not only treated, but also heard, understood and emotionally supported.
To help you feel safer and stronger during this difficult time, we invite you to two free webinars led by IDARTO Centre experts. Each offers empathetic, professional explanations of emotional challenges and practical tools for coping with them.
1.When a cancer diagnosis also affects emotions: how to help yourself?
Diagnosis affects not only the body - it also undermines inner peace, thoughts, relationships and spiritual outlook. Emotional experiences become another battle to be fought alongside treatment.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How the experience of cancer affects a person's inner world;
- What psychological skills can help you regain balance;
- How to help yourself with simple self-help exercises.
2.How to maintain inner balance when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer?
A diagnosis in one person often changes the lives of everyone close to them. Loved ones often become a strong support, forgetting their own feelings, fears or tiredness. But they also need emotional support and space to be themselves.
In this webinar, we will talk about:
- How a loved one's cancer experience affects their emotional state;
- How to take care of yourself while supporting your loved one;
- How not to lose yourself on this journey.
Access here for free webinar recordings.
The skills to help yourself and your peers through the experience of oncology can be learned in depth 5 sessions in the Mind Over Matter (MOM) series. In addition, psycho-emotional support can also be provided using a video library of psychological techniques “The ability to change”.
