Living with uncertainty whilst wanting to enjoy the moment is easier said than done when recovering from or living with cancer. No one chooses to have cancer but kindness and compassion can play a big part in moving forward. People often find they need emotional support after treatment has ended and it can be helpful to know that you’re not alone in coming to terms with what you’ve been through. Having worries, anxieties and concerns is normal once treatment has ended and whilst coaching won’t make these disappear we can explore tools and techniques to help you honour your emotions without being at the mercy of them. Self-management is a way to empower people to take control of their lives by understanding thoughts and emotions, identifying challenges, cultivating self compassion, establishing boundaries, exploring different perspectives and setting goals and plans. Identity and a sense self can be lost with a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Together, we explore ways to grieve and come to terms with the present, acknowledging that the life you had mapped out for yourself may not look the same but life can still be meaningful and enjoyable. Harnessing your natural strengths, identifying your values and discovering your meaning and purpose can also be useful ways of exploring your inner resourcefulness and resilience to navigate the path ahead and live more present and fully in the moment.
