In this episode, you will hear the inspiring story of how Rob Shaver and Constanza Roeder used the arts to foster resilience as Adolescent and Young Adult cancer survivors. Rob Shaver is a Sixteen year three-time (stage 4 at initial diagnosis) cancer survivor. He has a deep love for the outdoors and music and believes the role they played in his treatment cannot be overstated. Rob is one of the founding musicians of Hearts Need Art and believes that the arts should be accessible to all cancer patients. We hope his story will inspire you to lean into your creativity to cope with challenges in your life.
Constanza shares part of some exercises by Cathy Malchiodi PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, REAT in her Psychology Today article, Tapping the Healing Rhythms of the Vagal Nerve. You can learn more about Constanza at ConstanzaRoeder.com
