Everyone faces grief from a loss at some point in their life. In this episode I go through Prolonged Grief Disorder or Complicated Grief. It was an honor to learn from two professions in the field.

Dr. Brittany Trauthwein is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Fellow in Thanatology (death, dying, and bereavement), and the Founder of Bridgepoint Psychology Center in Chicago, IL. She specializes in providing support for individuals and families as they navigate cancer and other terminal diagnoses, end-of-life and hospice, and grief and loss. She is passionate about providing supervision to trainees and early career professionals. Her clinical research has been in the areas of continuing bonds with a deceased parent, ways to prepare children for parental death and funeral rituals, and achieving a good death at end-of-life.

Dr. Jenna Schmitt is completing her Postdoctoral Fellowship at Bridgepoint Psychology Center in Chicago, IL. She earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Hawaii School of Professional Psychology at Chaminade University of Honolulu. She specializes in supporting clients with complex trauma and grief and loss. She is pursuing certification in Thanatology and Ego State Therapy. Her clinical research has been focused on the healing process of sex trafficking survivors.
