BONUS: How to Support a Friend with Cancer
If you’re a long time listener, you have met my guest today, Dr. Michelle Bengtson. Dr. Michelle has joined us speaking about Anxiety, Caring for Our Teen’s Mental Health, Meditation, and one of her books Today is Going to Be a Good Day.
Today is a special day because Dr. Michelle is sharing her wisdom and experience of being a cancer caretaker as well as cancer patient. She is here to help us navigate those times we want to help and be supportive but are just not sure what to do. Dr. Michelle provides many useful, tangible and specific ways we can help a friend or loved one going through any kind of diagnosis, and also guides us away from things that are meant to be helpful but aren’t.
From her personal journey as a cancer patient and caregiver, she provides us with practical advice and tangible means to support a friend or loved one grappling with a major health condition. We dive into the depths of topics ranging from mindful communication and respectful boundaries to the shared power of prayers and scripture in providing comfort and hope.
