EP. 15 Unveiling the Shadows: A Journey Through Grief and Healing
Walking alongside grief can be one of life's difficult journeys, yet it's a path we all navigate at some point. As a mental health professional, life coach, and someone personally grappling with loss, I've discovered illuminating insights on the science of grief and how our brains process it. We'll unravel the complexities of our limbic system, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex – the key players in our grief journey. And remember, it is by sharing our pain we truly comprehend we're not alone in our struggle.Feeling adrift in an ocean of overwhelming emotions during grief is common. The importance of expressing, rather than suppressing, these feelings cannot be overstated. Leaning on loved ones during these challenging times can provide a much-needed anchor, but it's equally important to be selective about whom we share our most profound sorrow. I'll share my personal strategies for navigating these turbulent emotional waters, emphasizing the vital role of self-compassion and the power of finding joy even amidst sadness.Supporting others through their grief can be a delicate balance of words and actions. We'll explore how to provide the right support, the significance of our words and actions, and the varying complexities of grief. By extending compassion to those grieving and ourselves, we can better navigate and ultimately heal during these profoundly challenging times. Join me for a comforting, enlightening, and heartfelt discussion on coping with grief and loss.❤️ Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and should not substitute for therapy.
