Anger on a cancer journey: what to do with it before you speak up

A cancer experience gives you plenty of reasons to be angry. A doctor who rushes you. A clinic visit that leaves you feeling like the problem. Being emotionally intelligent doesn't make that anger disappear, and it doesn't mean you have to swallow it either.

This healing and emotional wellness conversation from The Cancer Journey Podcast is about the space between feeling furious and knowing what to say. You'll hear why taking time before you respond counts as processing, and how to find the feeling underneath the anger so you can ask for what you need.

If you've ever stayed quiet in an appointment and replayed it for days, or you're working with a doctor you trust medically who doesn't make you feel human, this one is for you. You can be scared for your life and still keep your voice.
