Next Episode: How Shadow Work Can Help with Grief and Trauma

This week I’m joined by family friend, Meredith Hannahs. Meredith lost her mom four years ago to cancer and also has a clinical perspective on grief as she is approaching the end of her time as a grad student of psychology. Meredith works in a practice setting directly with clients which gives her a unique insight on depression, grief, and more. Meredith and I share our own perceptions on grief, self care, and how working as a therapist allows her to empower others in their own lives.

Episode Highlights:

Meredith’s journey with grief and the loss of her mother Her clinical approach to grief and why she loves working with clients Understanding that grief is an ongoing process and not just a list of things to check off How she assists her clients in setting their own therapeutic framework Why therapy is collaborative The stages of grief and the misconceptions she often sees around the stages Why self care is such a big part of therapy/psychology education
