Where do you begin with a client who is grieving? What about if they are experiencing trauma but also grieving? What metaphors do you use to discuss how to make sense of what has happened for your client?

In this episode of the Mastering Therapy Podcast, Dr. Natalie Stott and grief specialist Dr. Monika Wieliczko delve into the complexities of grief. They cover everything from the nuances between grief and complicated grief, to balancing life and mourning. The discussion provides a range of insights and practical strategies for supporting clients navigating loss. 

They discuss innovative tools like the 'grief MOT' and the importance of community resources, and holistic activities in supporting your client through this time. Discover how to approach grief with a trauma-informed lens, understand the impact of attachment styles, and integrate psychoeducation and social support in healing. Filled with metaphors and personal stories, this episode equips therapists and individuals alike with the knowledge to confidently manage grief.
