After a cancer diagnosis, our relationship with our body changes. Unlike contagious illnesses or injuries, cancer develops inside our bodies. It can be hard to trust our body after what can feel like a profound betrayal. Let’s talk about how to repair our relationship with our bodies, learn to be friends with our bodies again, and rebuilding a sense of safety in our own bodies.
