This week Alberto sat down with Dr Chloe Paidoussis Mitchell, the world renowned Chartered Counselling Psychologist, grief and trauma specialist, and best selling author of The Loss Prescription, to unpack what grief really is, what it does to the brain and body, and why so many people feel like they are grieving in the wrong way when they are not.
In this conversation, Dr Chloe explains why grief is not just emotional pain but a full mind, body, and identity experience, why sudden loss can dysregulate the nervous system, why denial can be a normal early response, and why people do not move through grief in neat stages. She also explores bereavement, relationship loss, trauma, family grief, delayed grief, and the difference between suppressing pain and actually healing through it.
You will learn
• What grief actually is, beyond the clichés people are usually told
• Why grief affects the brain, body, nervous system, and identity, not just emotions
• Why there is no single right way to grieve, and why people in the same family can grieve very differently
• What denial, numbness, anger, guilt, and delayed grief can really mean
• What helps in the first days after a loss, and what makes grief harder in the long term
• Techniques to heal healthy in the long term
• How to support someone who is grieving without trying to fix or rush them
