Let’s be upfront about behavioural changes.

A behavioural change is a change within someone's behaviour when compared to a previous behaviour and can be quite common after a cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this episode Charlotte shares what some of these common behaviours are and discusses the behavioural change model and role of obstacles.

We learn about the guilt and anxiety model, flexibility, the power of helpful language and other strategies that can help you adjust.
