Her way of showing up with authenticity and clarity immediately drew me in. I was further captivated when I heard her speak in several podcasts and at a recent online trauma conference, where her depth of knowledge and her insights left a lasting impression. Mary Catherine's ability to articulate the complexities of trauma while offering hope and practical guidance has encouraged me to invite her onto the podcast as a guest.Her definition of trauma, which I love, is:Trauma is an unbearable emotional experience that lacks a relational home.About this week's guestMary Catherine (MC) McDonald, PhD, is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology of trauma, stress, and resilience. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma and stress for over a decade.

Amanda Prowse and Penny Dommett nattering around the kitchen table, chatting about all things random.  This week we talk about how our grief has moved forward, as if after time we have reframed our loss to something quite positive! We look at the comforting power of dreams, apparently Penny dreams of dog that aren't hers! While Mandy might just get signs from other side...  Have you seen The Fall - we have and are still going on about it! And we have a look at a couple of books that might be hard to read but so so worth it...So, pull up a chair and join us for a delightfully irreverent chit chat about life and all its random tangents - bring a cuppa. Cake optional...

I found the topic of grief dreams fascinating as I had my own series of grief dreams following the death of my mother which came one after, not every night, but every so often and they were like different episodes in the series on Netflix, and they lasted for months. And maybe we're going to talk about this a little bit more, but I'm interested in what Joshua can tell me about his view and his research about it. If you haven't heard of Joshua, don't worry because in today's episode, I'm going to ask him all the questions that you might interested in as well. Let's see where this takes us today. About this week's guest Joshua Black, PhD, is a grief and bereavement researcher, speaker, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast.

What does it mean when you dream of a deceased loved one? Grief dreams evolve in many ways to help you deal with your grief and loss. Grief dreams can provide you with comfort, hope, and even answers to questions you may have.  Grief dreams are unique and don't end when you have stopped grieving. They can pop up at random moments in life, but can help us sometime to understand confusing situations or bring clarity when you are feeling stressed. Understanding our emotions is hard, and dreams can help showcase some of the blocks within us and help us heal. Dreams represent a waking life. When we're happy and joyful, we will have more positive dreams. When we're angry and negative, we will have more negative dreams. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Black, a leading researcher on grief dreams, talks about the significance of grief dreams in the grieving process.

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live". (Norman Cousins) Not allowing joy to die within you when you suffer a major loss of a loved one is vital for an optimistic, positive life view. Yet finding joy again can be hard, seemingly impossible. We increasingly experience the death of friends and family as we age. The better we can decrease the stress of these losses, the less impact this will have on our aging trajectory says today's guest. Joshua Black, PhD, is one of the world's leading academic experts in grief dreams. He is a grief researcher, speaker, consultant, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. His work focuses on dreams and continuing bonds after loss.    Previous guests have discussed ways of healing after loss or traumas, becoming resilient, and accepting the  importance of self-care as you care for others. Today we discuss dreaming and another manifestation of grief, the Grief Dream.   To connect with Joshua Black: The GriefDreams Podcast   website: www.griefdreams.ca  https://www.facebook.com/joshua.black.942 Clubhouse (@griefdreams).   T To learn how you can decelerate your aging trajectory,  stay vibrant and vigorous, or start your own online business in wellness and anti-aging,:Contact  Dr. Gillian Lockitch https://linktr.ee/askdrgill   Email: askdrgill@gmail.comSchedule a complimentary Living Younger Discovery Call at https://bit.ly/3LbWvSV To learn how you can decelerate your aging trajectory,  stay vibrant and vigorous, or start your own online business in wellness and anti-aging,:Contact  Dr. Gillian Lockitch https://linktr.ee/askdrgill   Email: askdrgill@gmail.comSchedule a complimentary Living Younger Discovery Call at https://bit.ly/3LbWvSV To learn how you can decelerate your aging trajectory,  stay vibrant and vigorous, or start your own online business in wellness and anti-aging,:Contact  Dr. Gillian Lockitch https://linktr.ee/askdrgill   Email: askdrgill@gmail.comSchedule a complimentary Living Younger Discovery Call at https://bit.ly/3LbWvSV Order your copy of Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and the Art of Retiring Comfortably at www.gillianlockitch.com

Being with the dying challenges us to be more fully ourselves and we can support our loved ones by listening to their experiences of dreams and visions. Jeanne starts out by sharing a dream premonition she had as a child which woke her up to the power of dreams. Jeanne describes how to tell the difference between dreams and hallucinations. We also talk about visitation dreams and grief dreams. All of these kinds of dreams can help the dying person's family as well as the dying person themselves. We touch into topics including Tibetan Dream Yoga, the hard problem of consciousness, awareness-based meditation, reconciliation with our beloved deceased and the soul. We take a last minute call from Amanda who asks about the dreams of people with Alzheimer's. Bio: Jeanne Van Bronkhorst is a non-fiction writer on dreams and end-of-life care. She has graduate degrees in psychology and social work, and has worked with people facing life-threatening illness for more than twenty years as a hospice social worker, grief counselor, and now as a volunteer. She is the author of Dreams at the Threshold: Guidance, Comfort and Healing at the End of Life (Llewellyn 2015), and Premonitions in Daily Life (Llewellyn 2013). She is working on a new book about the challenge of saying goodbye to someone we love, and what can help us speak from our hearts. She has always been a strong dreamer and her early lucid, precognitive, and mutual dreams led her to psychology and then end-of-life care. Now she writes books about end-of-life care and dreams, and volunteers at a children's hospice, where she also teaches volunteers and staff about dreams. She lives in Toronto with her partner of 35 years and is on the Board of Directors for the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

In this episode, host @brookeljames is joined by Dr. Joshua Black, academic researcher and host of the @griefdreams podcast. Dr. Black talks about how he ended up researching grief dreams, what our grief dreams mean and how attachment styles show up in how we grieve. griefdreams.ca thegriefcoach.co

What does it mean to us when we dream about a person in our life who has died? Sometimes we are working to understand the loss or move forward from it. Sometimes we are plagued by the need to know that they are ok. Sometimes we hope for just one more moment, one more time to feel as if they are with us. Whether our dreams are positive or negative, they are significant. Joshua Black had a dream after his father died that changed his grief. His dream was comforting and led him to feel more at peace with his loss. This led to a deep desire to understand grief dreams. He changed directions, getting a PhD based on research and writing into grief dreams. He originated a podcast, Grief Dreams, to explore with others they dreams. His own experience led him to a passion for the subject and has made him a world recognized expert in the field.

Have you dreamt of a loved one, after they passed away? Has that dream stuck with you ever since? Dr. Joshua Black has had that kind of dream -- and heard thousands of those dreams from others. He's devoted his academic research to these "grief dreams" and to continuing bonds after many types of loss (including prenatal loss and pet loss). I thought it might be heavy or tearful, talking for an hour about dreams of deceased loved ones, but instead I found this conversation to be full of life. I appreciate Joshua's combination of the methodical, discerning mind of a researcher with compassionate curiosity and willingness to sit in the mysterious space of dreams.Click Play to hear me and Joshua talk about:How dreams began to matter to him because of one powerful dream, after a childhood of rejecting dreamsHis own grief dream of his father, which brought the color back into his life after a period of depressionOne of the most common questions he hears: why am I NOT dreaming of my deceased loved one?Across cultures and belief systems, what does and doesn't vary about grief dreamsHow common these dreams are; and how common it is for them to involve the presence of love and continuing bonds"Negative dreams" where the deceased is dying or ill, or chasing or wanting to harm the dreamerHow important it is to understand the culture and viewpoint of the person who's had the dream in order to provide a safe space Why it's best to be very cautious about labeling dreams as "visitations," or naming criteria for a dream to be considered a visitationAnd more!

This episode is my conversation with Dr. Joshua Black who is arguably the world's leading expert on the topic of GRIEF DREAMS. It was so eye opening for me. We all dream but dreams are so complicated… and no surprise, especially grief dreams! This episode is riveting to the end!Find all ways to CONNECT with Dr. Joshua Black HERE on his websiteJoshua spent his young life believing he was destined to become a school teacher - great pay and pensions were the reasoning he had been conditioned to that choice. After his father passed very suddenly he had a life changing dream and found him self dream research but he was having trouble finding a university to do this type of study at.  For him that changed when ironically it was a professor of psychological trauma specialist who agreed to supervise him through his doctorate studies. Now his work is a marriage of both - studying grief dreams! He discusses the different types of dreams & their purposes.  Listen as he talks about how grief after the sudden loss of his father caused the “color to leave his world” and how a vivid dream 3 months in to his grief is what suddenly brought it back. He explains that he didn't know what had happened but he knew it was extremely profound…Sending him down a path towards his life's work. He talks about negative dreams after trauma and dream re-scripting which just fascinated me so very much!! He shares specific dreams of loved ones after the loss of their loved one by suicide.  [SENSITIVE CONTENT WARNING]Do you dream of your loved one &  are you glad that you do or burdened by it? OR ...are you part of the 10% of people who don't recall any dreams? Do you keep a grief journal? I would love to know! Can our dreams help us heal OR keep us stuck??

The dreams we have of loved ones after they die have a deep impact, connecting us to the person we've lost. Sometimes there is a special quality to the dreams, feeling more like visitations. But there is sometimes a hesitation to talk about these dreams. After his own loss, Josh Black was compelled to study these dreams, both because of his own experiences and because he saw that listening to the dreams of others offered them support in their pain. He remains committed to uncovering what these dreams signify to those who have them and what they tell us about the process of grief itself.
