e-Motion : Promoting Emotion Regulation in Chronic Cancer

This intervention will consist of 8 self-administered modules that patients will complete every week. The sessions integrate an emotion regulation component with breathing exercises, relaxation exercises, hypnosis, etc. Once a week (maximum 15-minute), a trained psychologist will call the patient to help and/or encourage them. Each module will consist of podcasts, a reading assignment (with psycho-educational information) and writing assignments. The intervention will include home exercises and patients will be encouraged to practice exercises and skills learned between the sessions.

It will consist of the same content described above, but given in 8 group sessions (2-hour) held by videoconference (Zoom) that will take place every week. Patients will also have access to the podcasts, home exercises and reading assignment, but will benefit from increased motivation and support from both the therapist and their peers in the group. Each group will be composed of 5 patients.
