We had a few tech hiccups at the beginning of this episode… which honestly ended up fitting perfectly with today’s topic. Sometimes life feels messy, disorienting, and unpredictable , a lot like grief itself. We appreciated everyone’s patience as we got things rolling. 💛

In our newest episode of The Clinical Moment, we sit down with Mandy, an art therapist and grief counselor with LSI Behavioral Health, for an honest conversation about grief, loss, and healing.

Together, we explore:
🖤 The many forms grief can take beyond death
🖤 Why healing is not linear
🖤 The emotional and physical impact grief has on the body
🖤 Loss of identity, safety, dreams, relationships, and independence
🖤 How to support someone who is grieving
🖤 The role of ritual, compassion, and connection in healing

One of the most powerful reminders from this episode:
“Grief is not something to fear. It’s something human.”

Whether you are navigating your own loss or supporting someone else through theirs, this conversation offers validation, insight, and hope.
