Grief is one of life’s most profound and difficult experiences, but healing is possible. In this episode, I sit down with David Pope, a professional counsellor with over 30 years of experience helping people navigate loss, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles.
David’s journey isn’t just professional—it’s personal. After losing both of his parents at just 25 and his best friend to cancer years later, he understands grief in a way that textbooks can’t teach. Through a blend of CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma work, he has guided countless individuals from pain to recovery.
🔹 Why grief is misunderstood and how to truly heal
🔹 The impact of loss and how it shapes us
🔹 The power of being present and changing negative thought patterns
🔹 How therapy can transform lives, even in the darkest moments
🔹 Real-life stories of resilience, including bringing someone back from suicidal thoughts
This conversation is full of wisdom, practical strategies, and hope for anyone struggling with grief or supporting a loved one through it.
