Simplify Cancer

It’s tough to open up and talk about your worries during cancer, even with people you trust the most.  That’s where someone who is outside of your immediate circle can help - they don’t know you and there is no agenda. To shed some light on why a qualified psychologist can become your greatest ally in dealing with  worries and uncertainty that come with cancer, I’m talking to Maria who heads up Clinical Psychology department at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center in Melbourne. Maria has a really unique way of relating to people and she shares how you can find the right psychologist for you! Here is what we cover in this conversation: Internal barriers that prevent us from asking for help Why cancer is more than a physical illness What to expect from a qualified psychologist How to screening your therapist The impact cancer has on you and those you love Mindfulness during cancer: is it worth it? and much, much more!
