Session IV:

STEADY THROUGH THE STORM

At a Glance

Dealing with uncertainty can be hard. When facing cancer, it’s natural to feel anxious about things like a new symptom or an upcoming scan or medical appointment. It can be difficult to know whether changes in your body are serious or simply part of everyday life. This uncertainty can naturally lead to worry or overthinking, especially when you’re trying to stay alert without becoming overwhelmed. But uncertainty doesn’t always mean something bad – it can also be a space where hope and possibilities exist. With practice you can learn to manage uncertainty in a way that feels more balanced and less overwhelming. Our beliefs about worry also can affect how we deal with it. We might think we can’t control it, that it’s bad for us, or even something that we need. This program offers tools to help you feel more confident and more able to handle your worries, even during uncertain times.
