Show Notes
Welcome to the 118th episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast.
This month’s focus is on managing adversity, and grief is a huge part of it. With the CV-19 Pandemic, grief has been at the forefront perhaps more than in the last 70+ years.
It is usually incredibly challenging to cope with the grief and the bereavement of a loved one, a friend or someone you knew. Suffering a loss during shielding or lockdown restrictions may have prevented you from being able to spend final precious moments with them before they passed away or being able to say goodbye in person, perform religious ceremonies or attend a funeral.
Grief also spreads beyond bereavement and into any kind of change and in fact even joyous moments. It is essentially a part of everyday life, but do we acknowledge this.
To join me in talking about this more is grief expert Dipti Tait.

Quotes on
- I became a grief expert purely because I went through grief.
- Hypnotherapy is teaching people to reconnect and revisit with their imagination in a positive way rather than a negative way.
- We can't force anybody else to like grief or be comfortable with it.
- I think books, podcasts and YouTube videos are really useful because people can get the help they need without having to go to a therapist and talk things through if that's not what they really want to do.
- So I basically practice what I teach.
