What Happens to Childhood Grief When You Grow Up? with Allyson Dinneen

Our early childhood experiences of grief - and how our family systems dealt with loss - have a huge impact on our adult behaviors and relationships. 

 

This week, author Allyson Dinneen (@notesfromyourtherapist) joins me to discuss generational grief stories, and your number one most asked question: how does a grieving therapist (or another healthcare provider) go back to work? 

 

We're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes from the first 3 seasons.
