Krista St-Germain | What Private Practice Clinicians Should Understand About Grief | TPOT 372

Grief isn't just about five stages—it's messy, personal, and ever-evolving. If you've ever felt like you weren't "grieving the right way" or struggled to make sense of your emotions after loss, this episode is for you. Krista St-Germain joins us to break down the myths about grief and explore what truly helps us heal. From the Dual Process Model to Continuing Bonds, we're diving deep into the realities of loss, why "moving on" is a harmful misconception, and how we can integrate grief into our lives in meaningful ways. Tune in for a powerful conversation that will change the way you think about grief—and, more importantly, how you support yourself and others through it.
