From the moment you receive a cancer diagnosis, your mind will spin out of control. While being overwhelmed with emotions, you’re expected to understand everything the doctors are telling you. Many patients go through their treatment program in a fog. You can have a much better experience than this by taking advantage of the help a cancer health coach has to offer.
Healthy Behavior
A health coach helps patients and caregivers find and incorporate healthy behaviors into their lives during and after treatment. The goal is to improve the results of the treatment program and the patient’s quality of life at every stage of their journey. They can recommend techniques for relaxing, eating nutritiously, and exercising adequately.
A Guide
Overwhelming amounts of information will be thrown at you throughout your cancer journey. A health coach will help you sort through all of it so that, together, you can create a plan that’s right for you. This enables you to make positive and healthy changes according to what you find important.
A Positive Outlook
Cancer health coaching relies heavily on positive psychology. Coaching sessions will focus on your strengths, natural motivation, and interests. This is also important for caregivers, who can become tired and overwhelmed themselves. They need to maintain their health and mindset while helping you through your treatment.
The first step you should take after hearing your diagnosis is to get in touch with a cancer health coaching professional. Visit MOJO Health at mojohealth.org for more information.
