          • 03. Examining Grief

            HOT OFF THE PRESS! 

            Since we touched briefly on the concept of grief in our last episode, we thought it would be a good shout to go with a theme and delve a little deeper! Join us as we take an exploratory look at the concept of grief through the lens of counselling theory , combined with a discussion of our personal experiences. This episode was supposed to be released on 18th January 2021, but we figured what's better than one podcast?  The answer is 2 podcasts! 

             Warning: This episode is fairly long - perfect if you have a long drive ahead of you, but if you need to take breaks additional to the ones in the audio - please do.  It'll always be here when you come back!

            About The Therapy Files

            From the publisher's feed

            We are a new podcast hosted by two therapists/counsellors. One is qualified while the other is in training. We are interested in discussing topics that matter – both inside the counselling room – issues which are commonly brought into therapy such as grief, anxiety, depression. Yet, we’re also a podcast that has a dual focus, also looking outside of the therapy room at social and political issues which effect the world around us on a daily basis such as mental health awareness and wellbeing.
