Podcast appearances and mentions of heather hogan

Grief isn't something we get over—it's something we integrate. Joining me to discuss this and the best way to support children through profound loss is Dr. Dan Wolfson, a clinical psychologist specializing in grief.   In this episode we explore:   - The skills needed for fostering resilience and helping children and adults learn to grieve in a healthy manner.   - The importance of “oscillation” through grief and how Dr. Dan works with his patients to help them learn to process their feelings without these emotions completely overtaking them.   - How to help determine when and how it's time for your child (or you) to go back to things like extracurricular activities, birthday parties, and other “normal” ways of reengaging with life.   - Parents are often hesitant to show their own grief to their children, however, this can be a helpful form of modeling. We discuss appropriate ways to share your emotions with your child.   - Typical behaviors and regressions we often see in children who are processing profound sadness and difficult emotions, so you know what to be on the lookout for.   If you or your child are navigating profound loss, this conversation is here to remind you that healing isn't linear, and you don't have to do it alone.     LEARN MORE ABOUT DR.

Heather Hogan's magic is difficult to fully encapsulate. She has a fierce courage that allows her to embrace life and death with eyes wide open and with so much compassion. She's a life coach, tarot reader, Buddhist meditation teacher and a death doula. We discuss her experiences with death that lead to her embracing life and discovering death doula work. Heather believes passionately that most people's relationship with death could be more positive but we have to talk about it in order for that to happen so we do just that.

It can be difficult and scary to talk about death as adults, so having to do so with our kids can cause us to freeze up and shut down. But by being open and honest about death, an inevitable part of life, we lay the groundwork our children need to develop the tools to process loss and work through feelings of grief and pain.   Here to help us unpack our own anxiety, so we may break cycles of avoidance and fear, is death doula Heather Hogan.   If you've never heard of a death doula, don't worry, we'll kick off our conversation talking about what exactly that is. Then we'll get into the importance of introducing the concept of death to our children early in life, strategies to avoid projecting your own feelings and fears onto them, developmentally appropriate resources and books you can use to introduce these concepts, and more.     I want to hear from you!

Death is often a subject not talked about, even with our closest loved ones. Everybody has experienced death differently. The one thing we do know for sure in this world is we are all going to die. But, another thing we also know for sure is we are all going to live. Why are we so afraid of our timeline? What is it we're actually afraid of? How often do you think about death? We often think what's the worst that could happen? They can die. If that happens, then what do you do? There is a desire for control where there is no control. Let's stop focusing on death and focus on living. We are powerless, so let's change the conversation.  Let's soak up every possible moment we have and live without intrusive thoughts. Life and death are equally beautiful. Even if we were given the answers to our questions, would we actually want to know? Join Nina & Anna on today's episode as they make space to change the conversation around death and encourage listeners to investigate the beauty that lies at the end of a lifetime.

On today's episode, The Therapist in Training chats with Heather Hogan, a Manhattan-based Transformational Coach and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher whose goal is to enable clients to feel more grounded, less stressed and more equipped to handle life’s unexpected changes. Heather is also training to become a death doula. This role includes end of life planning,  sitting with the dying, rituals around death, dying and grieving, and supporting the loved ones of the dying. She believes that, "The daily awareness of death is not a burden to be shouldered only by the dying, it is an awareness that is a necessary ingredient for the living to live fully." Tune in as Heather shares about her own personal highs and lows during the pandemic.

In this episode, Heather Hogan joins me for a personal & in depth conversation about her journey in becoming a death doula. Heather is an empowerment coach, meditation instructor/yogini & an expert in tarot. WEBSITE: https://www.wisdomandsage.com/

Andi and Lise discuss gatekeeping in fandom, and how it excludes many already-marginalized groups from participating in fan culture, including various elements of it like cosplay. They also discuss how fandoms and pop culture are reflections of the larger society in which they exist, and Lise brings up how that might keep women and other marginalized people from going into STEM fields. Sadly, gatekeeping isn’t something that is imposed on marginalized groups by a non-marginalized group. LGBTQ gatekeeping occurs, too, and Andi and Lise discuss how that was exemplified by the announcement that gender-fluid lesbian actress Ruby Rose would be portraying Batwoman in the forthcoming Arrowverse crossover event on the CW. Rose was accused of “not being queer enough” and had to leave social media because of the harassment along those lines directed toward her. For further reference: Andi mentioned Heather Hogan’s article on Autostraddle about the new Dr. Who. Here’s the link. Also, Clare McBride at SyFy Wire did an op-ed called “ ‘Not Gay Enough’: Ruby Rose, Gatekeeping, and Toxic Fandom.” Link here. Lise mentioned a YouTube video by Jessie Gender about gatekeeping in queer culture. Catch the link here. For more information on what Andi and Lise are geeking out about right now, check out Orc Haven by Beryll and Osiri Brackhaus, and The Gifted on Fox. https://lezgeekoutcast.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/LGO_42.mp3

Contents [] [] Plot summary The government panels are cancelled after PhiCorp and the world's governments implement a categorization system regarding life. Those who should have died and are brain-dead are assigned Category 1 status, and those who have persistent injuries/diseases are to be given Category 2 while Category 3 status are normal people who have no or minor injuries. Category 1s and 2s are sent to Overflow Camps which resemble where there are hidden modules not appearing on satellite footage, and Torchwood suspects that these modules have a dark purpose. Appalled by growing governmental control over life and death, Vera travels to California to assist Torchwood. As he survived a fatal injury, Rex investigates a camp in California as a Category 2 patient while Esther sneaks in and administratively assigns Rex a Category 1 status and smuggles him a camera to film evidence. Using her medical panel credentials, Vera attempts to inspect the treatment of Category 1 patients and discovers that many conscious people are being assigned Category 1 status, essentially being declared non-living by the government. Vera threatens to prosecute Colin Maloney, the man overseeing the overflow camp after she sees the inhumane conditions which conscious Category 1 patients are enduring. He panics and shoots her. To cover up his actions, he and soldier Ralph Coltrane transport her to one of the modules and place her inside. Elsewhere, Jack tries to convince Oswald to use his fame to expose PhiCorp's advanced knowledge of the Miracle, but Oswald goes ahead with his pro-PhiCorp televised speech to a packed stadium. Meanwhile, Gwen returns to Wales to rescue her father from an Overflow Camp. During the escape attempt, her father suffers another heart attack and the doctors later give him Category 1 status, which Gwen struggles to challenge. When her husband Rhys reveals to her that the camp's personnel are taking Category 1 patients to the "burn unit", Gwen deduces that the modules are in fact incinerators used to burn the Category 1 patients. This is grimly confirmed when, back in the California Overflow Camp, Maloney activates the incinerator on the module containing Vera. Rex comes across Vera but cannot free her, and is forced to watch her being burned alive, reluctantly video recording her agony. [] Reception Writing for the Guardian, Dan Martin describes this episode as the episode in which "Miracle Day finally realised its potential". For Martin, the success of the episode is based on the fact that it revolves around "looking at humanity through a camera contact-lens, darkly". He concludes by opining that although this episode is set in a world completely different to our own this episode has greater than those previous. 's Heather Hogan also praised the writing of the episode, stating that although she knew in advance that Vera was going to die, the ending left her with her mouth "completely agape". Hogan felt that the use of Nazi imagery relating to the in-universe use of the final solution was particularly unsettling. She questions whether this is making the show too dark, but ultimately concludes that the reverses applies, as Miracle Day now has her full attention, stating that the final scenes will continue to haunt her. Writing for entertainment site io9 Charlie Jane Anders also praises the set-up of the episode, stating that it illuminates a basic truth about the perils of rationing healthcare. She also praises the way some of the failures of the protoganists (particuarly Vera and Gwen) play into the episode, stating that "'The Categories of Life' exposes human vanity in the way that only a script by Jane Espenson could".
