Part 2: Navigating Grief and Growth - Insights from Christina Rasmussen's "Invisible Loss" [S08-008]

 

Grief takes many forms and can be a complex and individual experience. It’s not limited to major life events. Life is full of small, invisible losses.  In part 2 of our conversation with acclaimed grief educator and bestselling author, Christina Rasmussen explains what she means by “invisible losses” and the impact they can have on our lives over time: “our perception of self shifts out of what we know about ourselves and it changes…when that happens, we lose what I call the original self and what the original self is.”

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

  • what invisible losses are

  • how to recognize your three inner narratives, and

  • the importance of reconnecting with your original self

Tune in to hear Christina’s valuable insights on navigating grief and reconnecting with your original self.
