There is a growing body of evidence showing the importance of mindfulness whilst living with cancer. In this webinar, Caroline will present results from her self-compassion research paper in breast cancer that is currently in press. Caroline will demonstrate how cultivating mindfulness and self-compassion can help build mental, emotional and physical resilience in people living with cancer.
