Julia Bradbury to Begin Trauma Therapy After Cancer Recovery, Says She Won’t Live in Fear

She calls her 24-day Antarctic shoot a pivotal step that proved her return to adventurous work.

Overview

  • The 55-year-old broadcaster was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021 and underwent a mastectomy.
  • She says she has had the all-clear and tracks her health through regular checks, better sleep, low inflammation and increasing strength.
  • Bradbury says she is starting a new trauma-focused therapy to ensure she has fully processed the illness, building on meditation and emotional work.
  • She insists she will not live in fear of recurrence and wants to avoid holding on to unresolved worries.
  • Last year she spent 24 days in Antarctica filming ITV’s Julia Bradbury’s Wonders of the Frozen South, calling the trip—her longest away from family since treatment—a pivotal test after a close call with a crumbling iceberg.
