Ep. 123 on the Grief Talk Podcast! Grief doesn't follow a script โ and neither does healing. ๐๏ธ
In my latest podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. Laurel Parnell โ clinical psychologist and EMDR pioneer โ for a conversation that moves between the deeply personal and the professional. Laurel shares her own experience of child loss after the murder of her son, and how it reshaped her understanding of grief, while drawing on decades of clinical work in trauma healing, spiritual connection after death, and modalities like EMDR, Resource Tapping, and her signature Multidimensional Integrative Healing.
We explore soul parts and after-death communication, the overlooked grief of stepparents, what truly helps someone who is grieving, and why โ as Laurel puts it โ "broken is not wrong." Clinicians wanting to go deeper into Attachment-Focused EMDR will also want to hear about the training offered through the Parnell Institute.
If you've experienced loss, supported someone through it, or work in the healing field, this episode is for you.
