The holidays are over - you made it. By the looks of our inbox, the season wasn’t easy. This week, a holiday debrief, including bad behavior from therapists, why religion is not the answer to grief, and some true facts about dating after loss. 

In this episode we cover:

• how to say “I can’t work with you” without accidentally shaming your patients or clients
• why “but your (dead relative) is all around you, just in a new form!” maybe isn’t the most supportive thing to say
• questions to ask yourself when faced with a surprise romantic breakup (and what that has to do with grief) 
• and as always - fun talk about boundaries. 

Questions to Carry with you:

• Boundary practice! 
• Still working on those resolutions? Be sure to listen to the two-part episode New Year, Same Grief (and the Math of Suffering) for help creating resolutions that feel a little more achievable than “overhaul my entire life”
