Claire Bidwell Smith, an acclaimed grief therapist and author, is on the podcast to discuss her new book, "Conscious Grieving," which highlights her theories on grief, love, relationships, and loss. In this, her fifth book, she builds upon her extensive experience and personal history—having lost both parents by the age of 25—to offer a nuanced perspective on how to navigate grief. "Conscious Grieving" introduces the concept of conscious grief, which encourages individuals to engage with their grief through mindfulness and self-awareness. In the interview, Claire outlines various stages of the grief process: Entering, engaging, surrendering, and transforming. She encourages those struggling to lean into the process, allow space for mourning, and find strength and resilience out of loss.For more, you can follow the show on:Instagram TikTok & Youtube!Produced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.
