Summary
In this raw and revealing episode of The Mike Litton Experience, grief and trauma therapist Edy Nathan joins Mike to explore one of life’s most avoided subjects: grief. A licensed therapist and author of It’s Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery Through Trauma and Loss, Edy offers a rare combination of psychological expertise, spiritual insight, and personal vulnerability.
Edy unpacks the myth of closure, why grief is not linear, and how it can become a lifelong companion that reshapes us if we allow it. From her own experience of losing a partner in the 9/11 attacks, to her work guiding others through loss, trauma, and shame—this episode is a must-watch for anyone navigating personal pain or supporting others through it.
