72. Unlearning Society’s Toxic Views on Grief: with Ken Barringer

Today I chat with Ken Barringer, a licensed mental health counselor who provides individual and group counseling support to grievers as well as delivering training and consultation to schools, businesses and organizations following a loss. Ken is an adjunct faculty member at Lesley University in Cambridge Mass where he designed and teaches a course in grief. Additionally he produces a monthly newsletter and hosts the podcast Grief in Brief.

Ken and I chat about:

The difference between empathy and compassion
How crucial it is to ACKNOWLEDGE someone’s grief
How grief can manifest in any or all of the 5planes: emotional, physical, cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual
Grief and attachment
How to respond with compassion to someone who isgrieving
How grief evolves over time
Self-compassion
How grief is portrayed in the media
And more!
