Trauma and Grief with Psychotherapist John Pilling

Karen and Bec are joined by Psychotherapist John Pilling. With over 18 years experience of working with patients who have experienced loss and trauma, John shares insightful tips, tools and coping strategies as well as some really useful explanations as to why we experience the things we do.
This is a brilliant and informative episode - we learned loads ourselves during this..... Watch to see if it changed Bec's mind on therapy as we all know she isn't a fan!
So, grab yourself a cuppa, find a comfortable spot and we can journey through grief together.

This was so interesting, and I think you're very clever and a very good friend Karen 😉
Each time you both share how you're feeling/coping or not coping really helps me feel 'normal' within my own grief journey. Thank you both ❤ from Australia.

Bec here - Don’t tell her that, she doesn’t need any encouragement 🤣
Thank you for watching, I find this one so interesting and learned a lot. We’re all in this together and we are so pleased we can resonate and go a little way to providing some help to others. Sending love, Bec.
Ps: please send us some sun! ☀️

Can someone explain to me why after two years after losing my son I feel worse now than I did even this time last year. All this talk about things get easier. I honestly don't find that at all.

We feel worse too. I think it’s because some of the shock and numbness starts to subside at times. We talk a little about that in last weeks episode here
The Truth of Grief

I think the world moves on, yet ours stays still forever, people talk about them less, the feeling of forever weighs heavier each day. The disbelief gets stronger, the realisation we cannot change it becomes more real. So many things make it harder as time goes on. Sending so much love to you, please know you are not alone in this ❤️💜🖤

I think it's because friends and family are around and remember special dates etc... in the 1st year, and as time moves on others 'get on with their lives' but we are stuck in our grief, I lived a half-life for many years and hid my true pain from friends and family, I got used to wearing a mask... Time alone doesn't heal, especially the deep trauma of your child dying, I think it's important to find an outlet for your grief and find people you can share honestly with xx
