Group Therapy for Folks Living with Late-Stage Cancer
How does one live with a late-stage cancer diagnosis?
This vulnerable time can feel intense and isolating. However, it also can be a rich time to connect with others going through similar experiences. Facing a cancer diagnosis can prompt us to reexamine our lives, with an eye toward creating greater authenticity, life engagement, connectivity, meaning, and self-fulfillment. So much inner work can be done as you face your mortality and make meaning of your life.
I feel honored to offer a virtual 10-week psychotherapy support group for folks with a late-stage cancer diagnosis living in the state of California during this precious time. This group is sponsored by the John Wayne Cancer Foundation, which will cover the cost of your participation.
In a confidential and supportive environment, you will:
Offer support for each other’s treatment issues
Improve coping skills
Find meaning in life
Deepen communication with family, friends, and medical team
Reexamine and shift priorities for a richer, more authentic experience of life
Confront fears and concerns surrounding death
Past group members have expressed immense relief at being with others going through similar experiences and being able to talk openly about their concerns, fears, hopes, and feelings.
