Program summary for part 2 of our 4 part Mental Health Series for May 2022.
Program description: Let’s be honest, cancer changes people. Physically and mentally. Sometimes it can be really hard to give yourself permission to find pleasure, feel sexy, and give into intimacy. Learn from a fellow cancer survivor and sex therapist how to find pleasure after a diagnosis and reconnect to your most intimate self. Listening to and exploring your body is the first step in finding pleasure with yourself or with partners.
The program summary for Reclaiming Your Body & Confidence, part 1 of 4 from our Mental Health Series.
Program description: Cancer can make you feel as though you have been robbed of the body you once felt very at home in and leave many feeling completely disconnected from themselves. While this is incredibly common in the cancer community, there is still very little done to address it. Join us for a presentation from a member of First Descents to talk about their approach to bringing survivors back to themselves for over 20 years now. First Descents is a non-profit dedicated to serving the AYA (Adolescent and Young Adult) cancer community. This presentation will include an activity to get you thinking about your relationship to your body as a survivor and how you can start improving that relationship.
