Gina Moffa, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice and feels wholeheartedly that the people who sit on her couch are courageous. She shares in her latest book, Moving on Doesn't Mean Letting Go that "some of them would shudder to hear me call them “brave,” but it’s true."

Grief may be one of our most universal emotional experiences, but that doesn’t erase how isolating, confusing, and profoundly painful it can be. It takes a lot to look at your pain head-on, to see what’s under it.

Currently residing in New York City, Gina has helped thousands of people seeking treatment for grief and trauma. She knows first hand how hard a time people have in expressing their emotions, struggling to access their vulnerability. In this episode, Gina takes us through that forbidding voice echoed in every person who has told someone going through grief to get over it or move on.

After hearing it so many times from so many different people, Gina shares that it makes perfect sense that so many people haven't figured out how to be where they are in their grief experience.

And Gina feels it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that we are living between the shock of the loss and the expectations of others. I hope you leave inspired by this conversation with her and give yourself permission to disrupt your own patterned thinking of what you think grief should look like, and recognize that it gets to look exactly as you see it.
