Grief isn’t just emotional — it’s neurological.
Your brain physically feels it, reshapes around it, and fights to make sense of what happened.
In this episode of Mind on Trial, Mallory dives into the neurochemistry of grief and loss — how your brain responds to heartbreak, trauma and mourning. You’ll learn why grief hurts physically, how it alters your neural pathways and why healing takes time.
Whether you're navigating loss or supporting someone who is, this one’s for you.
🎙 Topics:
• Anticipatory grief
• Heartbreak and the brain
• Why grief physically hurts
• The neuroscience behind emotional recovery
