The MOVE Against Cancer Podcast

In this episode you will hear:

• All about what Naomi does as a clinical psychologist: A step by step guide on how she talks, supports and equips young people with strategies for coping with what they are going through.
• The connection Naomi builds with people that are going through one of the hardest periods in their lives and seeing the difference it makes for them to open up to her.
• About the pivotal point in people's lives that often comes after treatment where they get to re-evaluate who they are, what they want to do and who they want to be.
• The resilience and strength of young people diagnosed with cancer and how empowering and inspiring this can be.
• All about the topic of identity: Who we are and where our life is going. Recognising there can be grief about the loss of who you were.
• How looking forward can sometimes be tricky but looking backwards to see how far you've come can be helpful.
