Episode 37: How a Psychology Grad Student Deals with Her Own Grief
Updated: Apr 3
This week I’m joined by family friend, Meredith Hannahs. Meredith lost her mom four years ago to cancer and also has a clinical perspective on grief as she is approaching the end of her time as a grad student of psychology. Meredith works in a practice setting directly with clients which gives her a unique insight on depression, grief, and more. Meredith and I share our own perceptions on grief, self care, and how working as a therapist allows her to empower others in their own lives.
Episode Highlights:
Meredith’s journey with grief and the loss of her mother
Her clinical approach to grief and why she loves working with clients
Understanding that grief is an ongoing process and not just a list of things to check off
How she assists her clients in setting their own therapeutic framework
Why therapy is collaborative
The stages of grief and the misconceptions she often sees around the stages
Why self care is such a big part of therapy/psychology education
