Episode 18: The Complications of Suppressing Grief - Real Talk w/ Casey Nichols from Valley Fitness Kickboxing

Join Dr. Lara and Casey Nichols from Valley Fitness Kickboxing; as they are open, honest, transparent about vulnerable situations in their lives where they both experienced the loss of their brothers. You won’t often hear these conversations and the impact of not allowing yourself to feel your emotions when you are grieving. More often than not, people run away from feeling emotional and physical pain; and this leads to dis-”ease” and dys-”function”. As tough as the conversation is to share in the open, it brings healing to the individuals and to others that hear this message. We want people to know it is okay to feel your emotions when you experience the loss of a loved one, and that it is OKAY to get professional help and support when you do not have the right support system in your life. Not everyone is capable of helping others emotionally, and there is no need to be alone in this process. Loss is inevitable in life; and it is better for people to be equipped with resources, tools and support before it even happens. If you are experiencing difficulty with grief, loss, emotional support or mental support, please reach out for guidance or referrals to the right people. Suicide support: Dial 988 if you find yourself in a dark place. There is help.Find local support groups for grief/loss, church groups for prayer and support, counseling resources are available.For more information on how to work with Dr. Ana, please visit:https://raicesndmedcenter.com/#naturalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #holisticmedicine #healing #botanicalmedicine #raices #physicianhealthyself #mindbody #naturopathicdoctor #functionalmedicine #foundationsofhealth #health #wellness #nutrition #sleep #stressmanagement #exercise #fitness #antiaging
