Pete George and his guest, Don Lachance, discuss grief and loss specialist. They talk about how to get around a few things and how to help promote some of the things that they discuss. In the conversation, the speakers discuss the importance of recognising when someone has hit rock bottom and needs help with their mental health. 
We discuss how mental health is often seen as a destination that people only talk about after they have reached out for help, and how many people never ask for help because of the stigma around mental illness. Pete and Don discuss the difficulties of processing and understanding emotions, specifically the idea of unlearning negative emotions and behaviours that have been ingrained since childhood. 
Don and I talk about the importance of recognising these emotions and working through them, rather than simply pushing them away. They also discuss the role of parents in teaching children how to cope with and healthily process their emotions. 
We discuss the idea that people tend to behave differently at home than they do in public. They attribute this to the fact that we feel more comfortable being our authentic selves around people who love us and who we know will accept us regardless of how we act. The speakers also mention that it can be difficult to understand and accept people who are different from us, but that it is important to try to do so.
