Grief with Shame
In today's episode of MaryLayo Talks, I’m with guest, Professor Dale Larson, an award winning author and clinical psychologist, about the feeling of shame some can have when grieving and how they can overcome the challenges based on evidence-based findings.
Discussion includes:
- What comes under the bracket of ‘shameful grief’?
- How cultural and societal norms impact the perception of shame when grieving?
- How can someone face and unburden their secrets?
- What are the healthy and unhealthy ways to deal with secrets?
- What tips and advice would you give to someone who is suffering from grief in silence?
- Bible scriptures to support spiritual wellbeing.
Take a moment. Delve into what may be 'beyond the smile' and listen in to the conversation.
