Description

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     5:34 - Where do you even begin? How to start this difficult conversation with your child.   6:15 - The 3 pillars to keep in mind that will help you to guide your child through this conversation and process their emotions.   10:18 - The importance of honesty and knowing what information to share with your child in a developmentally appropriate manner.   15:33 - It is helpful to remind yourself that the goal of this conversation is about helping your child make sense of everything and feel less alone, not reassure them that everything is "great."   19:30 - Try not to put so much pressure on this one conversation. Try to view this as a jumping off point that can be revisited whenever necessary.   If you would like support processing your cancer diagnosis and helping your child work through their feelings about this, you can always reach out to Upshur Bren Psychology Group to learn about our virtual coaching and therapeutic services.     ✨We want to hear from you!
