How Do Therapists Help with Emotional and Psychological Support?
Cancer diagnosis and treatment can trigger a range of emotions, including fear, anger, sadness, and uncertainty. Therapists use evidence-based techniques to help patients process these emotions. For example, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help patients reframe negative thoughts, while mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can teach relaxation techniques to manage stress and anxiety. Group therapy sessions can also provide a sense of community and shared understanding among patients.
