Session V: SCANxiety

Join us for this upcoming session as part of our Survivorship And Beyond series.

SCANxiety: Taming the beast through art therapy

SCANxiety is the term used to describe the overpowering thoughts, feelings, and sensations associated with diagnostic tests following a cancer diagnosis. Even though it involves anxiety, in reality scanxiety is PTSD in action. This workshop will help you understand exactly what is happening to allow you to respond to scanxiety with more ease. We will harness the power of art to “tame the beast”. This type of art making doesn’t require creative talent to benefit from the practice. Everyone can do it, and Stephanie will be there to guide you through.

5/7 - 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM
