Learning to Dance With Grief with Edy Nathan

It can be hard for many people to embrace the difficult and mixed emotions that grief makes us feel. However, after we accept these emotions and begin to walk through life with them, we can slowly turn that walking into dancing. 

In this thirty-sixth episode together, I am joined by Edy Nathan. Edy is a speaker, psychotherapist, and bestselling author of It's Grief, where she examines the devastating impact of loss and trauma. Through her book, Edy teaches you to dance with your grief, because to know your grief is a way to know yourself. An essential element in her practice is to offer clients the chance to combine psychotherapy with a deeper, more spiritual understanding of the self. She is dedicated to helping people understand their grief, cope with the fear and struggle that holds them back, and learn to live fully.

Throughout this episode, Edy and I talk about her understanding of grief and what her advice is for listeners who are struggling to work through their emotions. She describes what she means by “dancing with grief”, why it is helpful to be precise about your emotions, how our experience with grief is ever changing, and so much more.
