Hey listeners, welcome to Episode 8! In this episode I chat with Dr. Chloe, who is a chartered counselling psychologist that specialises in traumatic loss and grief.  We talk through my 'layers of loss', as I experienced losing my mum twice - once whilst she was alive (due to her mental health condition) and then her passing away when I was 18. We cover:

• Dr Chloe's background and research in trauma and grief
• What is complicated grief?
• What are the symptoms?
• What frameworks / advice can I follow to process my emotions?
• Mental health conditions
• Coping mechanisms for anxiety

Dr. Chloe believes that with the right support, people can overcome unthinkable pain through self compassion. It's an incredible episode!
