Dr Mary-Frances O'Connor: The Grieving Brain

In today’s episode, Tsultrim speaks with Dr Mary-Frances O’Connor, author of the fascinating book “The Grieving Brain – The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss”. Dr O’Connor is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Arizona where she directs The Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab, investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body.

Dr O’Connor explains what she has learnt over more than two decades researching grief and its effects. She also talks about how we can use that research to understand our loss and move through our grief in a way that keeps us connected to love, and offers hope and peace of mind.
