While Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is usually a response to a traumatic event such as a serious accident or natural disaster, it can also occur in patients diagnosed with cancer. How does one cope with the psychological distress of cancer?

Michael Vogel, Founder & Director at Janus Counseling Center in Santa Barbara, CA, will offer insights informed by his clinical work and his own personal experience with complex trauma. He will focus on relationships and their important role in the healing process, and through mythological exploration will guide us in integrating self-care wellness practices into our lives.
