  • Episode 356: Navigating the Labyrinth of Grief Emotions
    Jul 5 2024
    How can one effectively navigate and heal from grief and trauma? In this episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene speaks with Edy Nathan, a seasoned therapist and hypnotherapist specializing in grief, trauma, and sexual health. Edy Nathan shares her professional journey, personal experiences, and unique methodologies that integrate creativity, mindfulness, and an understanding of the mind-body connection. She offers profound insights into the non-linear nature of grief, the importance of integrating loss into one's identity, and the value of storytelling and honoring memories for healing. Key Takeaways: Non-Linear Nature of Grief: Grief is not a linear process; it can manifest unexpectedly and impact both the mind and body. Understanding and accepting the non-linear nature of grief is crucial for healing. Integration of Loss: Integrating loss into personal and sexual identity is essential for growth and healing. Instead of trying to "get over" grief, individuals should find ways to honor the memories of their loved ones and incorporate the experience of loss into their identity. Role of Creativity and Mindfulness: Engaging in creative activities and mindfulness practices can help individuals process and express their emotions, bridging the gap between the mind and body. Storytelling and Honoring Memories: Storytelling and honoring memories are powerful tools for connecting with lost loved ones and fostering healing. By sharing stories, individuals can keep the spirit of their loved ones alive and find comfort in their memories. Complexities of Caregiving: Caregiving in grief involves complex emotions and shadow aspects. Acknowledging and addressing these emotions is important for both caregivers and those they support. Supporting Children Through Grief: Parents can support children through grief by being honest, understanding regression, and engaging in creative activities. Closed support groups are also beneficial for helping children and families navigate grief together. Quotes from Edy Nathan: "The path like grief is nonlinear. It comes at you from many different directions." "I realized I had to stop avoiding it. I had to partner with it." "Perhaps the goal is not to get over. Maybe the goal is not to get through. Perhaps the goal is to connect with the part of that mother or that father or that partner or that child who continues to live within me." "Children will grieve like adults in their own way, and it will look different. It can look like anger, rage, regression, or numbness." Visit https://edynathan.com/ for more information.
