Cancer isn’t just a physical diagnosis — it’s an emotional journey that touches every part of life. In this episode of the F-U Cancer Podcast, host Christina Rollins sits down with Saba Harouni, licensed marriage and family therapist and board-certified art therapist, to explore how creativity can become a powerful tool for healing.

From reducing stress and anxiety to helping patients and caregivers process emotions they can’t always put into words, art therapy offers a unique pathway to resilience, hope, and self-discovery. Saba shares how this evidence-based approach can be integrated into cancer care — at any stage of the journey — and why it’s truly for everyone, regardless of artistic skill.

Whether you’re a patient seeking new ways to cope, a caregiver navigating your own emotional landscape, or a healthcare provider looking to offer more holistic support, this conversation will open your eyes to the transformative power of creativity in healing.
