Without trust in others, we’d be anxious all the time and everything would be a threat. The cancer journey requires a lot of trust in doctors, nurses, pharmacists, technicians. The stakes feel high, we feel vulnerable, and we often have to outsource our healthcare to folks we have very little relationship with.

So, how do we do it? What can we trust in? What can we think about? Is trust a choice? Is trust earned? What level of distrust is normal? Glynn answers some of these questions as he shares his journey through his own treatment and what he considered.

In this episode, we briefly discuss the IPSOS Global Trustworthiness Index. If you’re interested for a look, take a peek using the URL below, or just give it a google.

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.
