Grief is Love
This freestyled episode takes a moment to honor grief, pain, anger as part of the human experience. It serves as a reminder for me to come back to love and the gift that is now. Our couples counsellor at the time shared a more expanded 12 stages of emotional grieving which I've included below. Grieving is not linear and if there is anything I've learned over the last year is that your body will always make you deal with it no matter how hard you try to run away from it.
This Cercle Music set (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Jx89Fe16Dp9WcjdSjKmCN?si=NKr4NddKRMOG1NbGzQJS-g&pi=e-uN1_LeBFQGyB) by Icelandic experimental composer, Olafur Arnalds was and still is especially uplifting to me in moments like these. Watching it on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMCiAKNUpTY) is even more of a treat
The 12 Stages of Emotional Grieving by Kubler Ross and Kessler
1. Denial (Shock, Numbness)
2. Anger (Rage, Passive Aggressiveness, Vengeance)
3. Bargaining
4. Betrayal/Guilt
5. Depression/ Melancholy (a gray time-out, gestation, strengthening the self to eventually express raw rage, gutted grief, or one’s burning truth)
6. Sadness/Deep Grief (Key moment when a major letting go happens and it gives birth to a more whole, mature Higher Self incorporated in the personality)
7. Mental Comprehension of the Situation
8. Heart Compassion of the Situation 9. Forgiveness (includes Radical Forgiveness) 10.Acceptance/Meaning (“It couldn’t have been any other way. It’s as need be. I understand what this has all been for.”)
11.Letting Go/Gratitude
12.Rebirth/Creative Empowerment

Make it Make Sense
On this episode, I deep dive into the world of traumas, trauma responses, patterns and programs from a lay (wo)man's point of view that helped intellectualize the dynamics at play in my relationship which thereby helped me take the next steps forward in the road to empowerment.
In the episode, I quote the works of addiction and trauma expert Dr.Gabor Mate (https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd/?hl=en)as well as marriage and family therapist Mercedes Coffman (https://www.instagram.com/mercedescoffmantherapy/?hl=en) if you would like to deep dive further.
My couples counsellor Cyntha Gonzalez (https://www.instagram.com/cyntha_gonzalez/) who dealt with us together and separately helped us make sense of how our wounds showed up in our relationship. Finally, my dear friend, Michelle Saudan (https://www.instagram.com/michellesaudan/?hl=en) who has trained with Dr. Mate is specialized in compassionate self inquiry and uses many modalities for healing, she feels like exactly the warm hug you need on a cold winter day!
