Description
A cancer diagnosis changes everything.
The future you imagined dissolves, your identity is reshaped, relationships are challenged, and a storm of emotions are awakened that linger long after treatment. The Cancer Workbook helps you navigate that terrain; a practical roadmap through diagnosis, treatment and survival.
Inside, you'll find self-reflection practices, practical worksheets and techniques to foster courage, self-compassion and gentle acceptance of change. You will learn:
? Why our evolutionarily 'tricky brains' are so ill-equipped to face illness
? How dignity, shame, loss, loneliness, vulnerability and resilience are all important factors in cancer care
? How to manage pain and find a mental place of safety
? Ways to take these tools into your life beyond cancer, in recovery.
THE COMPASSIONATE MIND APPROACH
The self-help books in this series are based on compassion focused therapy (CFT, developed by series editor Paul Gilbert). This brings together an understanding of how our mind can cause us difficulties but also provides us with a powerful solution in the shape of mindfulness and compassion. It teaches ways to stimulate the part of the brain connected with kindness, warmth, compassion and safeness, and to calm the part that makes us feel, anxious, angry, sad or depressed.
