Welcome to the TeachStrong Podcast. My guest today is Dr Ray Owen. Ray is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Health Psychologist with over 30 years experience of working in the NHS. He’s also the author of two self-help books: 'Facing the Storm' and 'Living with the Enemy' - books about using cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and acceptance to navigate life’s toughest challenges. I’ve invited Ray on the show to talk about grief. During our conversation we discuss: - The different models of the process of grief - Expectations around grief - The parallels in grieving between death and the end of a relationship - The role of CBT, acceptance and mindfulness in grief - How you can support others who are grieving I hope you find the conversation useful | If you're enjoying this podcast, please show your support by leaving a review, liking the episode, and following the show.
