Remaining true to your values when living with PMP and appendix cancers
Event Information
About this event
The limited ability to influence our day-to-day lives is a source of real stress and helplessness. Rather than trying to control the uncontrollable, we can instead take actions consistent with our core values. A values-based focus can give purpose to our behaviours and improve our wellbeing. In this workshop specifically designed for those impacted by pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) and appendix cancers, we will look at identifying core values and the behaviours that take us towards or away from them. We will also look at strengthening your 'towards moves' toolkit.
The workshop is led by Dr Jason Spendelow, a Clinical and Coaching Psychologist who has been in practice since 2005. Jason runs an online practice working with people affected by various medical conditions and disabilities. He lost his wife Charlotte in 2017 to pseudomyxoma peritonei after a seven year battle with the disease.
Suitable for all those affected by pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), appendix cancer and rare peritoneal malignancies.
Facilitators: Dr Jason Spendelow (The Practical Psychologist), Susan Oliver (Pseudomyxoma Survivor) and Angela Brook (Pseudomyxoma Survivor)
