This is Your Brain on Grief

Trade Paperback

Using Science to Heal Yourself and Support Others

Faith Harper, bestselling author of books like Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Boundaries, brings us a counseling and neuroscience perspective on grieving. She explains what is actually happening in our brains and bodies and what we need in order to allow it to happen fully. She also shows us how to identify and treat traumatic grief, the variety of grieving processes we experience, what grief looks like in the long term, when to get professional support, and how to ask the people in our lives for what we need (and to give ourselves the care we need as well). You ll also find solid advice on how (and how not!) to support a grieving person in your life. Wise, a little crass, and gently funny.
