Ep35: Survivor Guilt

Ep35: Survivor Guilt

You come through cancer treatment with your life intact, and then you feel guilt?! What an odd phenomenon.


This guilt can be hard, uncomfortable, strange…and it makes some sense sometimes if we really mull it over. Maybe, it is designed to occur inside us for the good of humanity.


In this episode, Glynn takes a look inside at his own survivor guilt. Is it there? Is it dressed up as another feeling altogether? Is it perhaps responsible for this whole podcast even existing?


We explore some excellent mailbag correspondence in this episode, and we would love to hear from anyone if this episode resonated with you, if you have questions, or if you just want to let us know you’re listening. You can email us at hello@chemotionalrollercoaster.com


You can also follow us on Instagram.


New episodes of Chemotional Rollercoaster are published weekly, on Thursdays, Australian Eastern Time.


Lastly, Chemotional Rollercoaster is not a substitute for seeking one’s own professional advice. The strategies and skills discussed in all Chemotional Rollercoaster episodes are either what has worked for Glynn or his guests, specifically, or are things discussed in a general way. Anyone who is dealing with their own health issues, mental or physical, should seek their own professional advice on what may help to support them, uniquely. Often, the best place to start is your family doctor or GP. If anyone is struggling, and needs to talk immediately, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
