It’s OK That You’re Not OK with Megan Devine

Holiday Debrief: Ghosting Therapists, New Year’s Breakups, and Holiday Angels

Jan 8, 2024

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. 

 

We're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes from the first 3 seasons. This episode was originally recorded in 2022.
