Summary
This week, Jason is joined by licensed mental health counselor, entrepreneur, and content creator known by the name ThatFoodieTherapist, Ashley Gersh!
After completing her BS in psychology and Master’s in clinical mental health counseling, Ashley decided to flex her entrepreneurial spirit and start her own practice offering individual and group counseling services, helping navigate the stages of grief triggered by loss of loved ones and ambiguous loss such as breakups, divorce, and estrangement from family. From there, she added the title content creator to her resume by sharing bite sized tips to help heal after toxic relationships through food on her social media accounts.
Ashley breaks down the psychology behind why break ups suck, how emotional pain can trigger the same part of the brain as physical pain, the ability to sit with the discomfort, normalizing feelings of sadness or loneliness, how the stages of grief translating to a reflection of how you are feeling, what ambiguous loss is, the two factors in life you need to exist, and the different types of attachment styles.
