Complicated and Disenfranchised Grief

In this episode, Kelly is joined by esteemed psychotherapist, Douglas Jensen, LICSW, BCD as they talk about complicated and disenfranchised grief.There are so many expectations placed on us around grief. We are often judged for how we grieve. We either don’t grieve enough or too much, according to society. Doug so authentically shares his grief around his mother’s recent death. He is transparent in the way he expresses that it was not necessarily the death that makes him grieve, rather the loss is correlated to his mother’s mental illness and their complicated relationship. It was such a gift to hold this space with Doug. Thank you for your time and absolutely beautiful shares.
