"I've always been fascinated with the question - 'do we choose the work, or does the work choose us?' How do our experiences of loss and love influence our world?" - Christopher Hall, episode host.

All of us will experience loss at some point in our lives. As professionals who work alongside others' experiences of grief and bereavement; how do therapists' personal experiences of loss impact the work that they do? For the first time on Book Club, listeners will hear directly from the author of this episode's text, as New York based social worker Phyllis Kosminsky unpacks the inspiration behind her article, 'From practice to theory and back again: A personal perspective on grief and bereavement in a changing world', with her colleague and our host Christopher Hall, a psychologist.

Listen in as Christopher and Phyllis recount their experiences of personal loss, and how these experiences have shaped their respective work in psychology and social work, respectively.
