Thriving Through & Beyond Grief as HSPs with Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui


Listen Later

We will all grieve at some point - not only because grief comes in many forms (not only from the death of a loved one) but also because death is a natural part of being human. Yet we live in a grief and trauma illiterate society which often isolates and harms those doing their best to keep their head above water and find their way forward through and beyond painful life experiences. 

All trauma involves grief / not all grief involves trauma. As an HSP, our experience of grief (including traumatic grief) can be even more intense, and in some cases complicated, than for others. It can feel scary, we might feel like we're 'doing it wrong,' and internal and external judgment often adds a whole new layer of pain or grief to what we're navigating.

In this session, Krista shares some truths/practices that can help HSPs bring compassion to their grief experience, find a sense of safety in the midst of the storm, and thrive forward through and beyond pain and grief.
