Webinar: Reconnecting to Life After Cancer

Want to learn how to reconnect with life after a cancer diagnosis?

Join NCCS for a Cancer Policy and Advocacy Team webinar featuring Kathy Washburn, a certified holistic cancer coach and cancer survivor. In this webinar, you will learn the evolutionary function of both positive and negative emotions, understand that emotions offer data, and begin to practice awareness to empower you to respond — instead of react — to life.

Note: This class is life coaching, not therapy, and may not be appropriate for those experiencing significant and persistent emotional challenges.

As humans, we experience a constant inner stream of thoughts and feelings that serve a purpose — gauge safety and danger and set off reactions to both. Positive and negative emotions are not good or bad. They offer us unique data that we can learn to use in order to live with more ease and joy. Many of us learned to suppress our feelings, needs, and desires in service to others as a way that, at one time in our life, kept us safe, allowed us to cope with our surroundings. As we move through life, these old coping ways become maladaptive. Repression as a behavioral pattern is one of many factors in cancer risk and cancer recovery. Chronically suppressing needs and feelings to accommodate others weakens our immune system leaving us vulnerable to disease.

The webinar is Tuesday, December 5, 2023 from 9-10 a.m. PT.
