You Should Know

Caring for elderly parents and loved ones is both complicated and emotional. According to Kelley Keoppen the most common mistake people make is waiting too long to arrange for care. Many do so out of a desire to fulfill their loved one's wishes to stay home, others are in denial themselves about the declining mental and physical capabilities of their family member but the vast majority do so out of guilt. There is sometimes a stigma about having your loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility.

Dr. Christen Scott joins us to share the gifts that can come from experiencing the many phases of grief, how to support yourself and others through this time, why you shouldn't try to avoid or try to control the process, and how her relationship with her late husband continues to grow and strengthen after his transition. Our discussion started as one on experiencing the loss of a spouse but as Dr. Scott teaches us grief is experienced in many ways and the tools and encouragement she shares are applicable to many types of grief.

Christen Scott, Psy.D., ERYT-500, has been an entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry for over twenty years. She has a doctorate in clinical psychology and ran a very successful psychotherapy and consulting practice in the Washington, D.C. area for over fifteen years. However, after witnessing more transformation in the 8 limbs of yoga than in traditional psychotherapy, she focused more of her training in the areas of yoga and meditation, and eventually closed her private psychotherapy practice. Dr. Scott and her husband moved to South Florida, where they operated and taught at their yoga studio, the Power Yoga Tribe, in North Palm Beach from 2012 through 2019. Dr. Scott has several yoga and mediation certifications and is a Reiki Master. Her business is called the Yoga Shrink, which is where she addresses mental health issues and personal development issues through yoga philosophy and mindfulness. Dr. Scott has lead several personal development retreats throughout the US and internationally. Most recently, after her husband suddenly transitioned in November 2021, she has been working in the area of grief and loss. Dr. Scott brings together a mix of clinical psychology, 8 limbs of yoga, Reiki, and so much more into her work.
