Do you know how to cope with your own grief or the grief of others? Join Dr. Sherry Walling and Josh Trent as they discuss the stages of grief, how to cope with the death of a loved one, why we shouldn't identify with our emotions, and what it means to time travel for our mental health.   Listen To Episode 515 As Dr. Sherry Walling Uncovers: [1:30] Knowing God Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling Why Dr. Sherry is now placing more importance on the here and now. The reason Josh was angry at God when he was younger and how he realized he didn't truly know God. Uncovering why our anger implies hurt or needs that are unmet. Why for Dr. Sherry anger towards God means that there's a longing for a return to spirituality and understanding of what God is. Anger is more powerful than despair. The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R. Hawkins   [10:00] The Stages Of Loss How anger expresses that something inside of us needs to change and why it's a parallel to passionate desire. Jordan Peterson Why energy can't be created or destroyed, only transmuted. On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross How the grief when we are dying is different from the grief that we feel when someone we love is dying. Why grief is not only sadness but also anger and other dynamic experiences. Non-linearity of grief: Why we can't follow a step-by-step path.   [14:05] Losing A Loved One + How To Cope With The Discomfort Around Death Putting her knowledge as a trauma psychologist into practice when her dad passed and her brother committed suicide. How she got to understand that deep grief is universal and that no amount of training could make her exempt from the pain. The reason why we feel void when we lose a loved one. Why her patients and clients see her in a different way after reading her book. How her book has parts that are written about her for her and other parts that are written for others. Sharing your experience with others doesn't mean you're healed but it means that you're no longer bleeding. Why it's ok to let it be painful and uncomfortable for some time when someone's loved one dies. The importance of not skipping through the pain moment to the silver lining. Why the emotional quality of conversations about death should feel uncomfortable for a while. Transitioning to the celebration of the deceased person's life without alleviating the pain.   [22:42] We Are Not What We Feel How birth and death go to the depths of what it is to be human and to love. The ways in which Dr. Sherry found a resemblance between death and birth when she was taking care of her dad. How not being close to birth and death makes us uncomfortable and scared of these experiences. Identifying with our emotions: Why we're not what we feel according to Josh. Why emotions can feel like statements. What happens when we get stuck in emotions or attach to a story. The power of softness, flexibility, and allowing ourselves to feel our feelings without attachment. 483 Wayland Myers | NonViolent Communication: How to Stop Arguments In 60 Seconds + The Power of Loving Detachment Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships by Marshall Rosenberg A healthy way to detach ourselves from our feelings instead of identifying with them. Why language is essential when it comes to our emotions. How two opposed emotions can exist at the same time.   [29:40] Listening To Your Body + How To Choose Your Therapist Listening to the spaces in our body that get triggered with curiosity. Transference: The client redirects their emotions about one person onto their therapist. Countertransference: The therapist projects their emotions onto the client. How we hold imprints of the people in our lives in our bodies. Why Dr. Sherry believes that a dysregulation is a helpful tool when we listen to it. Her own experience with countertransference. What behaviors we should look for within therapists and why it's important to observe our feelings toward them. The quickest way to spot the emotions that we have around our therapist. The importance of money and time containers in therapy. How some therapists can get a secondary gain from the sessions.   [39:50] The Privilege Of Witnessing Death And Birth Josh explains why living well and dying well matter to him. The duality of moving between the world of the dead and the world of raising children and being in love. Why she feels privileged and empowered by being able to shift between the two worlds. The death process inside of us when we become parents. Why Dr. Sherry thinks we don't exist as an autonomous mechanism. The beauty of dyeing she saw when her dad was dying. Why she supports the raw version of her that wrote the book three years ago. How she holds space for her dad and brother during moments of grief.   [48:10] Time Traveling For Mental Health How psychedelics help us with our grief by transcending the physical body. Dr. Sherry's experience with MDMA and how it added another layer to the memory of herself as her father's daughter. 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Why timelines are a big part of trauma and psychedelic-supported therapy. Traveling in time for our mental health: Revisiting the past, being fully present in the moment, and setting the future self up for success. The importance of finding and remembering early memories of joy. Joe Dispenza What hope means to Dr. Sherry and why it's a relationship with our future selves. Why gratitude is the opposite of resentment. How suicide can teach us about the meaning of life. Why play and challenging activities are important to Dr. Sherry. Zen Founder Podcast   Power Quotes From The Show Having Uncomfortable Conversations "If I tell you a painful story and suddenly rush to all that I learned about it and all the reasons it's ok now, I skip through the painful moment. The emotional quality of the conversation becomes relief instead of discomfort. It's ok to let it be uncomfortable for a while and let people hold that space." - Dr. Sherry Walling   Birth And Death "Birth and death are edge states. They are moments in our lives that don't happen very much but they get to the depths of what it is to be human, to be in love, and to show up for people in their most vulnerable moments." - Dr. Sherry Walling   The Challenge Of Middle Adulthood "There's a duality between the world of aliveness and the world of the dead. Many of us will at times in our lives be called to move back and forth between those energies, that's the challenge of middle adulthood. You're in support and in connection to parents and elders who are further along the journey of death, and young ones who are just beginning life. You're a bridge between the world of becoming and the world of ending." - Dr. Sherry Walling   Links From Today's Show  Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R.

Grief is a part of our lives at some point. We can learn how to manage our grief, and even find ways to channel it into something productive. The post Coping with Grief and Loss with Sherry Walling Author of Touching Two Worlds appeared first on LMScast - LifterLMS Podcast.

Joining us today is Clinical Psychologist and the Author of Touching Two Worlds, Dr. Sherry Walling. Dr. Sherry has been treating patients for trauma, stress, and grief for over 20 years, and in 2017, the loss of her father and brother gave her a front-row seat to the type of devastation she'd been helping others navigate. She combined what she'd learned when studying both theology and psychology with her own personal experience, to develop a memoir that is as heart-wrenching and personal as it is informative and cathartic. We talk about understanding depression as a disease, how to be present in both grief and joy, why healing requires truth-telling, and how to speak to your kids about grief and loss. Dr. Sherry then explains why we need to change the societal narrative around suicide, the best practices when you are experiencing grief, how to speak to someone when they are grieving, and how the circus can be way more than just comical relief! Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning for loss, depression, and suicide. 

On this week's episode of IMPACT, we're joined by Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist, entrepreneur and an expert on handling grief. She is also the author of Touching Two Worlds about the duality of joy and grief.   All of us experience pain and grief at some point in our lives because it's a very normal and important part of human relationships and human emotion. But some of us get stuck in grief and hold trauma in our bodies, especially entrepreneurs and high performers who seldom slow down.   Grief is not linear – it may go away for a while and then months later, resurface in a different way. Grief can show itself through anger, anguish, sadness, and stillness. But it can also be fuel, passion and the determination to change something or advocate for a cause. This is all part of the grief process.   It's important to tell stories of loved ones who have passed on to share the reality of grief. The deeper work of grief is internal storytelling so that the role of that person in your life doesn't get glossed over.   The holidays are a great time to acknowledge the joy a loved one brought while honoring their memory with family, children, and friends.   This episode is special. It is for everyone. There are things that we are ALL going to experience in our lifetime… and grief is one of them.   Grief is complicated but giving space for all that comes with grief is important. What does this involve? Listen to this week's episode to learn more.     KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:32] How Dr. Walling became a grief expert through family loss [6:22] Similarities to losing a loved one and going through the pandemic [6:41] The Great Resignation      [10:42] The negative and positive manifestations of grief [15:10] Integrating grief into our lives [18:26] The importance of talking to kids about grief [23:29] Deeper work of storytelling in grief [27:47] The importance of talking with your family about end-of-life wishes     HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST https://www.sherrywalling.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sherrywalling/ twitter@sherrywalling.com Books on Amazon: Touching Two Worlds and The Entrepreneurs Guide to Keeping Your Shit Together     MEMORABLE QUOTES “Grief is a very normal part of human relationship and human emotion, and one that has all of these sort of riches and depths instead of like an ailment that needs to be treated.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “Integrating the body and movement into a course of working through grief is now absolutely central to how I think about what humans need when they're grieving.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “The unique thing about helping entrepreneurs or high performers grieve is that we're really good at not grieving. Our lives are really full, so it's very, very difficult for us to give the time and space to grief that it may warrant.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “The deeper work of grief is the remembering. It is the storytelling internally so that the role of that person in your life doesn't get sort of glossed over.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “I also think this idea of grief as sadness is not super helpful because grief is many, many things. It can be anger, it can be anguish, it can be sadness, it can be stillness, but it can also be fuel, it can also be passion. It can be the determination to change something, fix something, advocate for something that's all part of a grief process. And so I think grief can be fiery as much as it can be blue. And so giving space to all the parts of grief I think is really helpful.”  Dr. Sherry Walling                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Today I talk to Dr. Sherry Walling (@sherrywalling), a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, best-selling author, yoga teacher, and mental health advocate. Dr. Walling and I discuss her new book "Touching Two Worlds" and how to engage with grief and find hope after loss.  What We Discuss with Dr. Sherry Walling Dr. Sherry Walling and John R. Miles provide expert advice for those seeking hope in the aftermath of loss. Dr. Walling shares moving, intimate stories while proposing a broad range of recovery techniques and activities derived from neuroscience―like how to heal through movement, how to cry in public, how to look at how much time we give ourselves to grieve, how one accepts themselves when experiencing grief without expecting more from themselves, and how to cope with survivor's guilt.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 141 – The Challenges Faced by Senior Planners with Shawna Suckow   We are delighted to speak with Shawna Suckow today! Shawna is the founder of SPIN (Senior Planners Industry Network). She is also a writer and speaker.  Shawna joins us today to share her insights, discuss her take on what is happening within the industry, and talk about mental health, finding balance in life, and how to care for oneself.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's enlightening conversation with Shawna Suckow! Bio: Shawna Suckow, CSP, CVP, CMP, is a former planner who became a professional speaker in 2012. She speaks to salespeople, marketers, C-Suite, and business owners across all industries seeking insight into the shifting marketplace and how to reach customers better.  What Shawna is proud of: Her latest book was recommended by Forbes as a top-six marketing book of 2022 (woohoo!). She has spoken in 17 countries on 5 continents (c'mon, Australia and Antarctica!). In 2019 she earned her CSP (like a Master's in professional speaking).  Three memorable things about her: She is so good at parallel parking, she should get a trophy. Her first car was a Volkswagen Bug that caught on fire on her way to school. Also, she once did a turkey call for the Jimmy Kimmel audience. (She's still embarrassed about it).  How Shawna got into the industry After college, Shawna joined a commercial real estate company. She worked her way through PR and into the training department they were launching, where she helped create a training curriculum for real estate professionals. She fell into the industry through the meetings she planned to deliver the curriculum. It was hard initially because she had no one to guide her, but she loved it! Leaving the industry After she wrote the tell-all book, Planner Pet Peeves: Straight Talk for Meetings Industry Suppliers to Understand How Planners Really Think, Act and Buy, people began asking Shawna to speak. So she left the industry and transitioned to becoming a speaker. Speaking on stage She learned that when stepping on stage, only the first few minutes were about her. After that, it was about what she had to offer and how she engaged with the audience. Mentorship Shawna is always there to help up-and-coming speakers and answer their questions. SPIN Shawna started SPIN in 2008 because she wanted a more senior and distilled type of conversation than she was getting at the industry associations, where they speak to planners at multi-levels. SPIN currently has 2500 members. It also has a free Facebook group for planners with more than ten years of experience. Stress One of the top five most stressful occupations nationally is being a planner. It became even more stressful for planners when the pandemic hit because they had to cancel live meetings without knowing when they could reschedule them. Shawna points out that unplanning a meeting is almost as complicated as planning one! Self-care Many planners failed to practice self-care during the pandemic. As a result, they suffered mental health challenges including depression and anxiety. Brain, body, being, and business People need to speak about what they are going through, especially during difficult times like the pandemic. Soon after a well-known SPIN member took her own life, Shawna appeared on stage at SPINCON and spoke about it because, at that point, no one in the industry was talking about mental health. That was when they, in addition to business, began focusing on the brain, body, and being. Board of advisors Shawna joined a mastermind with two other speakers about six years ago. Since then, all of their businesses have grown exponentially. They look out for one another and help each other physically and emotionally. The other two speakers have become Shawna's board of advisors. Balance Shawna has been feeling more balanced since she stopped traveling and started focusing more intentionally on her self-care. Speaking Shawna speaks about sales and marketing from the customer's perspective. She loves helping people in businesses better-understand their prospects. A new course Shawna believes that now is a good time for small business owners to compete, especially if they focus more on telling their stories. She is creating a new course to help small business owners rethink branding, improve marketing, and enrich their stories.  Trust People care about what others do. That is why Shawna advises speakers, coaches, and meeting planners to regain trust by rebuilding their brands, humanizing themselves, and telling their stories. That will help them avoid getting perceived as commodities and being put into the same category as everyone else. SPINCON The SPINCON annual conference took place virtually during the pandemic. This year, it will be happening live in Tempe, Arizona, from the 11th of December through the 13th. It will focus on self-care and great conversations!   Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website Connect with Shawna Suckow On her website SPIN   Books mentioned: Touching Two Worlds by Sherry Walling Planner Pet Peeves: Straight Talk for Meetings Industry Suppliers to Understand How Planners Really Think, Act and Buy by Shawna Suckow

Their body is elevated trying to react to a stressor.  2:32 To help someone feel better in the midst of stress is to reregulate or bring their body and their mind down to homeostasis. Thoughts go slower, the heart beats slower, and breath is slower. If we can turn the slow-motion dial on that often helps stress feel much more manageable and accessible.3:22 When we can feel that sense of agency over our bodies and our lives, that feels so much better than feeling stuck on the tilt-a-whirl at the fair. And we're just moving so fast and we're like, ‘Yeah, I wanna get off.'4:47 Being in my own grief after the losses (of my dad and brother), one of the things that were so helpful to me was I really connected with my own body.  6:13 When we get into some kind of emotional expression, we can breathe again. It's a big exhale. It's like putting down the heaviness of all that we are carrying and being present with a different experience.6:27 Emotional expression allows you to have a little lightness, a little levity, or really express some of those negative emotions. Feel into your anger. Feel into your fear, but not in a way that feels like it's going to be overwhelming for you.6:52 Our society is kind of set up to move quickly through grief. Like policies related to bereavement leave. You might go to your mom's funeral on Saturday and on Tuesday, you're supposed to be back at work. There's not a lot of space for grief.7:09 A lot of us feel like we gotta muscle through hard things when we're in pain or suffering. But the tendency is to just keep going, just keep moving, just be gritty. And those aren't bad messages. I just think they may be out of balance.7:30 Don't go around pain or suffering. Don't avoid it. Don't skip over it. Talk about it. Feel it. Express it. Move toward the heart of what's difficult, knowing that that's where all the growth lies. That's where all the lessons are.  8:03  When you go in and through something - for instance, grief - there's no part of you that you don't have access to. There's no part of you that you feel like you have to hide from.8:56 Writing can be helpful for people who like to journal. Writing about your own experience can be a really powerful way to do some of that in and through work.9:13 If you feel like you want the presence of another human, it will help to be in therapy or go to a support group where you can begin to tell the stories to give life and words to the things that feel painful.  9:33 You can also try expressive movement such as a five rhythms dance practice where you pair different kinds of movement with different kinds of emotion. It can be a yoga session. There's something really can be quite healing about holding a warrior position and lingering there and letting your body do the work to breathe through and to hold that position.10:55 Doing grief better means talking about grief. It's naming those that we've lost. Naming the hopes that we had that never came to be.11:12 Doing grief better means we're collectively comfortable moving in and out of tender spaces, knowing that we can do that with gentleness and with some graciousness and not feel like we have to, again, skip over it and just get back to work and get back to normal life. That is quite damaging to people who are in any kind of grief.Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, a new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play. This podcast is hosted by Allison Walsh and Angela Phillips.

Grief is something that touches every single person in the world. Unfortunately, no one can avoid it. But how do you cope and rebuild in the aftermath of loss?Today's guest, Dr. Sherry Walling, is going to talk about grief and some surprising ways that you can deal with it. She's written a very special book called, Touching Two Worlds: A guide for finding hope in the landscape of loss. It touches on things that will have you more emotionally engaged than anything you've ever read.It's partially a memoir, written about Dr. Walling's experience of losing her father to esophageal cancer and her brother to suicide within six months of each other. It's a big immersion into grief, losing people she loved but at the same time, growing her career and raising her children in the prime of her life. This idea of touching two worlds is about her experience going back and forth between the world of aliveness and the world of grief along with some suggestions for the reader to help them deal with their own personal grief. This was an absolutely fascinating and healing conversation for both Mike and Gay. Key Takeaways: (04:09) Gay talks about the personal grief he's currently going through.  (07:56) Mike tells us about his family and dealing with losing his parents. (11:06) Psychedelics as a tool for grief. (18:23) The body's reaction to grief. (25:58) If we don't release grief it gets stuck and Circus works.

“I'd watch so many people find their way through painful experiences so that when I experienced mine, I had this deep sense of knowing that I wouldn't get lost in it, that I would meander out eventually.” Dr. Sherry is a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, yoga teacher, mental advocate, and bestselling author who's just published her latest book - Touching Two Worlds. Through her company, ZenFounder, Dr. Sherry empowers leaders and entrepreneurs to do hard things by exploring creative ways to get unstuck.Despite grief being a certainty, most of us struggle to navigate the landscape of loss.

Sherry's wisdom inspires the confidence to learn how to grieve while providing an invitation to explore your own relationship with death and dying. “The book is called touching two worlds because of that, because of the permission to be in grief and in the shadowy dark places, and also to be enjoy and be in creative creativity and be in love and being gratitude.” Blurb 3: Why the listener wants to listen to this episodeKey takeaways:Differentiating between moments to learn and moments to grieve and feel.

You may have experienced a devastating loss of a friend or family member or felt America's collective grief during the pandemic, a contentious election, and news of war. In grief, we are saddled between two worlds. One in which we feel devastating loss. In the other, we show up for work, go on vacation, watch funny movies and give ourselves permission to feel joy and laughter. Here to help us navigate these two worlds is my friend Dr. Sherry Walling. Sherry is a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, author, and mental health advocate.

Her world was thrown into an uproar and, as a psychologist by trade, she was unable to find ground. allowing herself to follow her own instincts, over time she learned to listen differently to herself and her clients. and the greatest comfort she felt was while she was doing circus arts, suspended above the ground, climbing, dipping and swinging.

Her soon-to-be-released book, Touching Two Worlds, explores new strategies for grief and wholeness in the aftermath of loss.  Sherry and her husband, Rob, reside in Minneapolis where they spend their time driving their children to music lessons. She has also been known to occasionally perform as a circus aerialist. Sherry's story Sherry started her career as a clinical psychologist working in a traditional environment. She worked with veterans at the VA Hospital, so she developed expertise in treating trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. She found that the traumas of the people she worked with often occurred within the context of their jobs, so she often helped them work through their relationship to their jobs. Working with entrepreneurs She later started working with entrepreneurs, helping them to explore their relationships with their business or work when their business is psychologically expensive. The mental health of entrepreneurs Sherry married an entrepreneur in the software space, so she spent a lot of time with entrepreneurs. There was not much talk going on about their mental health, so at one point, it made sense for her to start considering their mental health needs. The first tipping point  Two tipping points made Sherry decide to start a business of her own. The first happened in 2017, when Aaron Swartz, the founder of Reddit, committed suicide. It upset her husband, and Sherry realized she could help by offering some skills and insight into that community. So she started a podcast, a series of conference presentations, and some open public conversations around mental health in the entrepreneurial community. The second tipping point The second tipping point happened a few years later when her husband sold his company. They moved from California to Minneapolis, so Sherry left her job and decided to do something new and different. Similarities There are many similarities between the work Sherry does today and the work she did before with veterans. Both situations involve working with highly motivated people climbing ladders and chasing goals. She found the personalities of the people she has worked with, in both situations, quite similar. Trauma Trauma consistently affects all bodies. It causes an overwhelming amount of physiological stress. Trauma from combat looks physiologically similar to trauma related to a sexual assault or a shooting incident, so a similar conversation is required to integrate the bodies of all traumatized people with their minds and hearts in their pursuit of health.  A spectrum Trauma falls on a spectrum. PTSD trauma is on one end of the spectrum because the system gets completely overwhelmed. On the other end of the spectrum, there is some homeostasis, calm, or relaxed state. The stress that comes from entrepreneurship is somewhere in the middle. Threat For some entrepreneurs, the threat of potentially losing their livelihood can be traumatic. Psychedelic drugs to cure trauma In research studies, the use of MDMA, or Ecstasy, has shown tremendous promise for treating PTSD. Sherry co-hosts another podcast called The Mind Curious, which addresses using psychedelics for mental health. Burnout prevention Sherry recommends activities like play, exercise, and meditation to prevent burnout because those activities provide balance for the brain. The future Sherry thinks we will see a combination of hybrid, remote, and in-person for work in the future. Grief Business owners should be a little more authentic than they usually permit themselves to be around grief. Grief usually requires stopping and being still for a while. If you are a customer-facing professional or deal with people in your job, create corners in your life where you have space for grief. Sherry's new book In Sherry's new book, Touching Two Worlds, she wrote about what was happening in her life after losing both her dad and her brother within a few months. It contains memoirs and her thoughts as a psychologist on coping with grief a little better. It is due to come out in July.   Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website   Connect with Dr. Sherry Walling On Zen Founder Podcast and The Mind Curious Podcast On the ZenFounder website On her website
