Ep 40 A Therapist’s Personal Journey and Insights

In this earnest and enlightening episode, we are joined by special guest, therapist, and author April Hannah. April opens up about her personal journey into therapy, and her experiences that led her to write "The Grief Experience: Tools for Acceptance, Resilience, and Connection". We explore important topics like the value of therapy, the myriad types of grief, and how personal experiences can influence individual healing paths. April also shares how the pandemic triggered a shift in her career, forcing her to transition to online counseling, and deepening her understanding of grief. She then discusses the creation of her debut book, co-authored with others under the leadership of her colleague Kelly Doherty. The book, a comprehensive array of 25 different grief experiences, aims to aid those grappling with loss by presenting a multi-faceted understanding of grief. An important segment of the episode is devoted to April's intimate account of her mother's lifelong addiction and the ensuing trauma and grief. Additionally, the episode explores how emerging therapies such as art and meditation can aid in dealing with trauma. We also delve into life after death theories, psychedelic therapies, energy healing, and the characteristics of emotions, all of which add a unique dimension to this enlightening conversation. Understanding the human psyche on a deeper level, this episode offers valuable insights, redefining our understanding of therapy, grief, resilience, and healing. Tune in to this remarkable conversation for a profound exploration of emotional wellbeing, psychological health, and personal growth.
