Learn 9 keys to overcoming grief in this online course taught by a grief expert: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/understanding-grief-loss-and-mourning-1/?utm_mediumYTDescription&utm_sourceYouTube
What happens when you don't process your grief? What happens when you avoid dealing with loss? People say time heals, but I would say that's not the case unless you allow yourself to work through your pain little by little.
Now it is clear that each person's grief is unique, there are no concrete steps that you can follow in order, there is no time limit for grieving. But there's a big difference between working on things and not working on them. People processing their grief allow themselves to deal with their pain, even in small doses. They talk about their feelings, they can talk about them or write about them, they cry. When someone cannot overcome their pain, they try to distract themselves, they stay busy, they desperately avoid their pain, which in the long run leads to more pain. So we're going to talk about 7 signs that you're not coping with your grief. And you'll learn 3 ways to start facing your grief in small steps.
Recently, I teamed up with Sarah Engler, LCSW, to create a course called “Understanding Grief and Loss.” It teaches how loss can come from the death of a loved one, but it can also come from many other situations, such as divorce, an expectation that does not come true, a life cycle change like aging, or a change in life. job, and many other situations where you might feel strong emotions about losing something you care about. Sarah does a great job explaining how not dealing with your loss can lead to these 7 signs.

In therapy, I use a combination of acceptance and commitment therapy, systems theory, positive psychology, and bio-psycho-social approach to treat mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas in my videos are frequently adapted from several sources. Many of these come from acceptance and commitment therapy, particularly the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection stem from the work of Stephen Porges (polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (somatic experiencing), Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose the direction of our lives.
