Samir Chopra is a philosophical counselor and professor emeritus of Philosophy at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.  At times difficult and emotional today’s conversation may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I acknowledge that, but I encourage you to stay present and curious and explore what might show up for you. Because ultimately it’s a conversation about what it means to love.  I hope this episode will add a new layer in aiding you to reflect, reconsider and reconceptualize anxiety. We don’t have to be anxious about being anxious. Embracing our anxiety can be a portal to self-discovery and freedom.

WARNING: There is a mention of suicide, PTSD, death, drowning in this episode. The most profound concept around grief and loss is that we do do it even though it feels impossible and it is actually impossible.  As a grief and loss specialist Meghan Riordan Jarvis, didn’t expect how unprepared she was after her mother’s death. Grief-stricken, she found herself unable to go on with life and ended up in the same inpatient cliinic where she used to send her clients.  What makes grief traumatic? The symptoms of grief, and so much more.    SUPPORT THE SHOW, SHOW YOUR LOVE Become a patron on Patreon.com and join 21 exisiting memebers who contribute towards our monthly goal of $500.  Make a one-time donation in any amount to say “Thank you!” Rate or write a review FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast HOW TO WORK WITH ANNA I would be thrilled to support you in your parenting journey!
