August 13, 2024 The Grief of Trauma
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode of The Another Way To See It podcast, we continue our discussion of grief by addressing other possible gates of grief. Specifically we talk about Trauma as being a place where grief lives. We have been using Francis Weller’s book- The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief, as a jumping off point and guide to this exploration, we have gone through the five gates that Francis has written about and are on our own for the discussion of further potential gates. We acknowledge that there are many many ways to name, explore, experience, and tend grief. Francis has given context, language, and probably most importantly the permission and invitation that we must befriend our grief, bring it close, and offer the care and compassion sorely missing from our modern society.

Francis Weller is a psychotherapist, writer, and soul activist. We highly recommend that you find a copy of this book that you can write in because it is such a valuable resource for the inevitable encounters that we all have or will have with grief.

August 06, 2024 Tending grief, Gate 5: Working with Ancestral Grief
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode of The Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about working with inherited or ancestral grief, articulated in Francis Weller’s book- The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. The Fifth Gate of grief, Weller describes ancestral grief thusly; “ We hold this grief in our beings, even after many generations in the new land. This sorrow becomes concentrated over time, gathering grief unto itself, and is carried in our psyches unconsciously as diminished inheritance.”

Send us Fan Mail
On this episode of The Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about the Fourth Gate of Grief, as articulated in Francis Weller’s book- The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. The fourth gate is: What We Expected And Did Not Receive.We were born expecting a warm reception from a loving village. We expected to be taught rites and rituals that acknowledge the fullness of human life and the sacredness of all life. In this gate we touch on belonging, and purpose.

July 23, 2024 Tending grief, Gate 3: The Sorrows of the World
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode of The Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about the Third Gate of Grief, as articulated in Francis Weller’s book- The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. The third gate is: The Sorrows of the World. It is in this gate that we touch the grief experienced when we consider eco-crisis, economic insufficiency and instability, war, destruction of natural habitats, extinction of species and cultures. This quote by Joanna Macy illustrates it beautifully: “We are capable of suffering with our world, and that is the true meaning of compassion. It enables us to recognize our profound interconnectedness with all beings. Don't ever apologize for crying for the trees burning in the Amazon or over the waters polluted from mines in the Rockies. Don't apologize for the sorrow, grief, and rage you feel. It is a measure of your humanity and your maturity. It is a measure of your open heart, and as your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal. That is what is happening as we see people honestly confronting the sorrows of our time.”

July 16, 2024 Tending grief, Gate 2: The Places That Have Not Known Love
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode of The Another Way To See It podcast, we dive into the second gate of grief, as articulated in Francis Weller’s book- The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. The second gate is The Places That have Not Known Love. Francis writes:

These are the profoundly tender places precisely because they have lived outside of kindness, compassion, warmth, or welcome. These are the places within us that have been wrapped in shame and banished to the farthest shores of our lives.
This gate is another one of these universal portals to the soul. By tending the grief of this gate we retrieve parts of ourselves long banished, we begin to value, know our worthiness, and claim our birthright-belonging.

The first gate is Everything You Love You Will Lose. Loss is universal to all of us. This gate addresses loss of life, relationships, identity, dignity, health, and much more.

June 25, 2024 June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode of The Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about Men’s mental health. June is Men’s Mental Health awareness month in the US, and the statistics are alarming. Over 6 million men experience depression each year. Males account for 10% of patients with anorexia and 35% of patients with binge eating disorders. 19.1 million Americans experience anxiety disorder and 3,020,000 men have a panic disorder, agoraphobia, or any other phobia. Male suicide has been on the rise since 2000 and is the 7th leading cause of death for men in the US. We can only heal as a collective if everyone begins to heal. At Another Way To See It, we believe that you are not broken or defective; but a human living in systems that aren't conducive to thriving. Competition, pressure to achieve, financial and relational stress, bypassing, and the lack of community all paly roles in the quality of your mental well-being. One of our favorite quotes is: “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”- J. Krishnamurti . We hope you get something of value from this episode; but most importantly we hope that you realize that – YOU ARE NOT ALONE, AND THERE IS HELP AVAILABLE.
