In today’s episode, we dive into the science behind how grief impacts the brain with a world-renowned neurologist, author, and widow, Dr. Lisa Shulman. Lisa is the Director of the University of Maryland’s Movement Centre and the author of Healing Your Brain After Loss: A Neurologist’s Perspective on Loss, Grief, and Our Brain. We talk about how losing her husband Bill led her to research how our brains respond to loss and trauma, as well as:

• Why ‘grief brain’ happens
• Dissociation and anxiety as a response to loss
• The role of dreams in processing grief
• How to help your brain heal
