462: Grief + Loss And Family Dynamics (Part One) with Debi Jenkins Frankle
Therapy Chat
Intro
This chapter examines the complex themes of grief and loss within family relationships. It highlights the varying ways family members cope with loss and offers insights on fostering understanding during such challenging times.
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, we're discussing grief and how it affects family dynamics, especially when the family may not have had the healthiest communication patterns and boundaries to begin with.
My guest today is Debi Jenkins Frankle, LMFT, a TTN member and grief-informed psychotherapist based in California with over 30 years of clinical experience. She specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a wide range of losses and life transitions, whether sudden or anticipated. While a significant portion of her professional work is dedicated to training and consulting with other therapists in grief and loss, Debi devotes half of her practice to providing direct care to clients. Over the years, she has supported thousands of grievers on their unique paths to healing and growth. We talked about grief and loss, the recent loss of one of my parents and more.
This is part one of a two-part series. In next week's conversation, we'll talk about some ways to manage the grieving process.
