Welcome to the very first episode of "Cancer on the Couch"! I’m Jefferson, your host and a clinical psychologist who’s here to chat with you about the mental and emotional side of cancer care—because let’s be real, it’s not just about the meds and the machines. In this Episode Zero, I’ll introduce myself, share a bit about my background and why I’m so passionate about psycho-oncology, and give you a sneak peek of what you can expect from this podcast.

Why did I start "Cancer on the Couch"? Simple: there’s a lot of talk about cancer treatments, but not enough about the mental health challenges that come with it. This podcast is here to fill that gap, with real conversations, expert insights, and yes, a few lame dad jokes to keep things light.

So, grab your favorite spot on the couch, tune in, and let’s get this conversation started. And hey, don’t forget to subscribe so you won’t miss out on any future episodes. Trust me, you’re not going to want to miss this! For more contents, follow us on Instagram @cancer.onthecouch
