125: Moving with Grief (with Til Luchau & Whitney Lowe)

🎙️ Grief affects everyone: every person, every practitioner, and every client will lose something important to them, whether it’s their youth, ability, dreams, or a loved one. And so, everyone will grieve. In this episode, Whitney interviews Til about how the recent loss of his wife has given him a new perspective on grieving, and being with others in grief: what helps, what’s important to know, and how to move with grief, as we feel what needs to be felt, and do the things that need to be done. 🔍🗣️👥🔊 Key Points in the Podcast Introduction to the podcast and sponsors (0:00-1:20) Til Luchau's personal experience with grief and loss (1:20-5:30) The importance of self-care for caretakers (5:30-8:30)  Lessons learned from the grief process (8:30-14:55)  Balancing work and personal life during grief (14:55-18:00)  The importance of acknowledging grief in client interactions (18:00-21:00)  Understanding the stages and timeline of grief (21:00-23:30)  Strategies for supporting others dealing with loss (23:30-26:30)  The impact of grief on cognitive function (26:30-31:51) Final insights and reflections on grief (31:51-37:00)  Closing remarks and sponsor acknowledgements (37:00-39:00) Resources Episode 66: Beyond "It Depends" Oncology Massage (with Janet Penny, Rebecca Sturgeon, and Loretta Luchau)  Whitney Lowe’s site: AcademyOfClinicalMassage.com  Til Luchau’s site: Advanced-Trainings.com  Sponsor Offers:  Til Luchau’s “ANKLE Issues” livestream course (live Aug 24-25 '24, or later by recording): advanced-trainings.com/workshop/onl2408m/  Books of Discovery: save 15% by entering "thinking" at checkout on booksofdiscovery.com.  ABMP: save $24 on new membership at abmp.com/thinking.  Advanced-Trainings: try a month of the amazing A-T Subscription free by entering “thinking” at checkout at a-t.tv/subscriptions/.
