19: Trauma, Grief, and Emotions

“Grief is about a big loss, and it’s about the loss of something that has value to you,” - Joie Seldon.

What effect does trauma have on our bodies? How does grief fit in? Joie Seldon is a trainer, coach, and specialist in the field of Emotional Intelligence. In this episode, she talks about the type of parent loss and trauma situation that Saam faced (Episode 18) and goes beyond this to focus on grief and parent loss in general, in context of how our body processes emotions, the lost expectations that can cause grief, and microtraumas surrounding parent loss. Though our conversation was recorded during pre-Covid times, it still holds relevance today.
