Walk & Talk - Soulful Conversations

Service Description

When your partner or family member is diagnosed with cancer or long-term illness, it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. It is hard to comprehend that this is now your life. You may find yourself experiencing many conflicting emotions such as: Shock and disbelief that this has happened to someone you love Fear of the future and the unknown Overwhelmed with all the appointments and treatment options presented Conflicted between your needs and your partner or loved ones needs Finding yourself crying uncontrollably in the shower while trying to put on a brave face in public Walking around in a daze Feeling selfish or guilty for needing some self-care Unable to talk openly to family and friends Trying to balance being a couple against being a carer and patient Angry with your partner that they have this awful diagnosis Avoiding people or places so you don’t have to talk about it Wondering how you will cope on your own As a partner, it can feel selfish to talk about how this is affecting you when your loved one is going through so much themselves. But this is your journey too, and it feels like your world is falling apart around you. Walk and Talk - Soulful conversations are designed for those who prefer to have a less formal setting where they can talk freely whilst also engaging in some mindfulness and self-care without fear, guilt or judgement. Together we identify ways to: Improve your emotional well-being Find ways to control the anxiety and panic Learn relaxation and mindfulness techniques Honour your need for self-care without guilt Work through your fears Explore your beliefs and fears about death and spirituality Find ways to support your partner whilst retaining an intimate and emotional connection.
