Finding calm in cancer with Dr Sinead Lynch

Today on the podcast we are delighted to be joined by Dr Sinead Lynch senior councilling psychologist in the Mater hospital Dublin and a member of the psychoncology team, an extremly valuable service to cancer patients that was started in 2021. Dr Lynch explains to us on the podcast how events in her personal life led her to a career caring for cancer patients. Today we discuss the difference between pity and self compassion and that having self kindness does not mean giving in. Dr Lynch talks us through practical tips for managing mental health and recognising the difference between a low mood assosiated with a cancer diagnosis and when to seek help.
