In Conversation with Dr Better, a psychologist, author and mental-health advocate

Newly published book, Reflections of a Grieving Therapist.
The book explores grief from a deeply personal and professional perspective. As a psychologist who has spent years helping people navigate emotional pain and loss, I also found myself having to confront the realities of grief personally. The book reflects on what happens when the person who is accustomed to helping others must also find ways to navigate their own pain.
I believe this could make for a meaningful and relatable conversation with your listeners, particularly because grief is something that touches virtually every family and community, yet many people still struggle to understand or openly discuss it.
A conversation around the book could explore topics such as:
• What grief really looks like beyond the traditional stages of grief
• Why grief does not have a fixed timeline
• The difference between grieving and “moving on”
• How people can support someone who is grieving
• The impact of unresolved grief on mental health and relationships
• The unique experience of a therapist dealing with personal loss
• Why men and other groups may struggle to openly express grief
• How we can create healthier conversations around death, loss and emotional healing
