Cancer brings into focus the need to cope with a wide range of emotional experiences. It is a journey for sure, but it is not the only thing that causes stress in our lives. This presentation is an overview of coping strategies that can fit with any and all of the emotional challenges that come along with the cancer experience, from diagnosis, through active treatment, and on into survivorship, and the other stuff too!

After a presentation from psychologist Dr. David P. Bullis, there will be time for interaction and Q&A.

Presenter: Dr. David P. Bullis, PhD has been a practicing psychologist since 1994 and devoted his professional life to helping people cope with medical illnesses. He has worked in a variety of settings over the years but currently is the Director of Behavioral Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center at Newton Wellesley Hospital as well as running his own private practice focused on coping. He has worked with patients, and their families, helping them find the practical skills that restore a sense of control while going through a process that can feel very overwhelming at times. He is the author of the new book: How to Get a Grip: Coping Strategies for Complicated Times.
