Series Overview

Why Grief Is so Complicated & When It Gets out of Hand 12 Min

This series starts with understanding why grief can be so complex, and how to spot when it gets out of hand and becomes clinical depression.

The 5 Stages of Grief (& How to Spot Which Stage You’re In) 12 Min

Grief affects you in all aspects of life: at work, in social situations, in day-to-day life, and more. Though grief can feel overwhelming, understanding the 5 stages of grief - and how to spot which stage you’re in - makes it manageable. Dr. Judy breaks down those stages in this session.

Grief vs. Your “New Normal”: How to Tell the Difference 11 Min

Despite the pervasive pattern of the 5 stages of grief, everyone experiences grief differently. The way you cope with a loss could look entirely different than the next person’s. And it’s difficult to tell the difference between your grieving process and your “new normal.” So understanding what your grieving process looks like is key to starting your journey to recovery. Dr. Judy walks you through just that in this session.

Self-Help Strategies for Working Through Your Grief 11 Min

Not only does grief manifest differently for all of us - it can also feel debilitating. Plus, it can strike you at the most unexpected times, regardless of when you experienced the loss you’re working through. But there are strategies you can use immediately to start to work through that grief, ease your pain, and move forward. Dr. Judy details the self-help strategies you can use right away in this session.

Professional Help for Grief: Signs You Need It & If It’s Working 10 Min

But what if the self-help strategies aren’t working? What are the signs you need professional help after grieving a loss? In this session, Dr. Judy highlights the signs it’s time for you to seek out a grief specialist or a mental health provider - and what to do next if that professional help isn’t working.

Long-Term Grief Management: Life After Loss 9 Min

What about long-term grief management? When are you supposed to start feeling better after grieving a loss? And how can you maintain mental health & avoid unhealthy coping strategies once you work through your grief?
