Have you felt overwhelmed by grief or been pressured to get over it quickly? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Butler about finding your way through grief as a sensitive person and: • The unexpected ways grief can show up such as irritability, anxiety, and anger • How community support and rituals can support you in your processing of grief • Grief shows up when you lose someone, but also when you go through other types of loss or life changes • Remembering to come back to yourself as you take care of others in shared grief experiences  • Listening to your emotions and carving out time to be with your sadness via nature, movement, crying, or other practices  Dr. Butler (they/them) is a psychologist and therapist who loves deep conversation, hiking, and crocheting tiny animals. They hold intense professional interests in breaking generational trauma, healing from eating disorders while learning to nourish oneself along the way, and fighting the stigma so many of us face in a society that often doesn't understand anyone who diverges from "the norm." After experiencing many sudden losses beginning at a young age, Dr. Butler is passionate about meeting the need for holding space for and validating grief - at work and far beyond. They are currently enrolled in IPI's intensive psychedelic-assisted therapy certification program, which fits perfectly with their practical yet spiritual approach to recovery.   Keep in touch with Elizabeth: • Website: https://prismapsychology.com/  • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/prismapsychology   Resources Mentioned: • Elizabeth offers psychedelic integration services virtually for California residents.  Find more details at: https://prismapsychology.com • Beth Buelow's Podcast: https://bethbuelow.com/how-can-i-say-this-podcast/ • Dear Grief Guide Podcast by Shelby Forsythia: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/dear-grief-guide-podcast  • The Mindfulness & Grief Podcast by Heather Stang: https://heatherstang.com/grief-podcast/  • Terrible, Thanks for Asking Podcast: https://ttfa.org/  • It's Okay You're Not Okay by Megan Devine: https://bookshop.org/a/63892/9781622039074 • Bearing the Unbearable by Joanne Cacciatore PhD: Thanks for listening!

I had such a great discussion with Heather Stang for this episode. Heather is founder of the Mindfulness & Grief Institute, where she facilitates Awaken, a mindfulness-based online grief group, offers individual sessions, and hosts the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast. Even though we recorded this discussion some months back, I think it's a great time right now, with the new year having just started, to have a listen, and consider learning a bit about mindfulness and perhaps even adopting a mindfulness practice. Some topics Heather and I discuss include: Why she created a guided journal, and why it's helpful for grieving people; Her eight-step mindfulness and grief process; The physical experiences of grief; Intuitive grievers and instrumental grievers; Why her first goal in working with grieving people is to help them be able to sleep; What are mindfulness and meditation, and their relationship to one another; How mindfulness can help you learn to respond rather than react; and Why guided mediation can be helpful, especially if you're not sure how to get started. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Heather Stang. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-day free trial: www.audibletrial.com/widowedparent BetterHelp - Talk with a licensed, professional therapist online.

The tables are turned as Heather Stang, the regular host of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast, is interviewed by guest host Audrey Hughey about the new guided journal for grief, From Grief to Peace, which releases on June 1, 2021. Heather shares how she began journaling about her grief over her Uncle Doug's death in high school and the differences between free journaling and guided writing with prompts. Audrey shares how she processed her emotions over her ex-husband's death in her first thriller/novel. ​From Grief to Peace is based on the Mindfulness & Grief System developed by Heather. It offers meditation and journaling exercises to initially help bereaved people cope with the pain of loss, and eventually rewrite their post-loss narrative, all while developing healthy lifestyle habits. The new book offers a holistic approach to life after loss, weaving in memorial and meaning-making activities with personal reflection and goals to help the reader-writer move forward, which is quite different from moving on. Heather relies on evidence-based approaches, contemporary grief research, and ancient practices rooted in yoga and Buddhism, and holds a master's degree in thanatology, the study of death, dying, and bereavement.

Heather Stang SN   Yoga and Grief Introduction of Heather and the topic 5:05 Tips to stay healthy while grieving. Sleep, digesting, hydrating may all be difficult. Yoga is one of the activities that can be accessed early. Doesn’t require talking about our emotions and brings us back into the body. Can help with sleeping, digesting and hydrating. People are dealing with the ongoing connection they feel with the person who died. The relationship continues. 7:50 Myth has been that you “get over” grief by detaching from the person who died. Research shows that maintaining a continuing bond helps with living your life. 8:20 What to do for the teacher and other class members when a long-time member of a yoga class dies. Understanding that the class needs to be modified, slow the pace, each person encouraged to share their feelings, perhaps a letter to the person or write down feelings.  Open ended yoga questions: what does grief feel like in your body. Create a yoga pose to reflect those feelings What would a statue look like that represents the person who died. Have your boecaedy look like that pose. Allow people to speak freely about their grief. Disenfranchised grief – not allowed to speak freely because of a perceived social position. For instance, a friend’s grief is not as valued as a family member’s grief. 14:20 Anniversaries of death can be difficult in the yoga class. If student share a date, then keep note of that because often time coming up to the anniversary is difficult for the person. The grieving person needs to plan ahead of the anniversary to do what they need to do that helps them 18:09 Heather has written a book called: Mindfulness and Grief. She had started Yoga and Grief previously, an 8 week program for people grieving. She was also exploring meditation in more depth. She interviewed past participants of the yoga and grief classes to see what the long term result of the classes were. The book is in an 8 week format, but can be done in the time period that an individual needs. There are a variety of tools to address the physical symptoms of – anxiety, tension – and tools to use for their life after loss. Chapters are: Mindful Awareness, Conscious Relaxation, Compassion/Forgiveness, Vulnerability and Courage, Unstuck, Reconstruction and Transformation. Each week/chapter has tools for that week including journaling, creative projects, yoga. Grief permanently changes you in many ways and the change may even be positive. Yoga consists of ancient techniques to tend to our suffering. 26:15 Grief does not have to look a certain way; it is different for everybody. Some show their emotions easily, others show little emotion but both are grieving. Yoga teachers may be dealing with our own grief and need to take care of ourselves also 28:10 Recommended books: Mindfulness and Grief by Heather Stang Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness by David Treleven IRest Program for Healing PTSD by Richard Miller All are available on Amazon Contacts: Website: www.mindfulnessandgrief.com Insta #mindfulgriefquotes Twitter: @HeatherStangMA FB: mindfulnessgrief

Heather Stang interviews David A. Treleaven, Ph.D., author of "Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness," for an closer look at the intersection of grief, trauma, and mindfulness, so you can understand the benefits and pitfalls before you practice. Mindfulness meditation is highly praised for helping people reduce physical, emotional, and psychological suffering.
