Understanding Grief and Attachment Through the Lens of Neuroscience
This podcast delves into understanding grief and attachment through neuroscience, explaining how the plasticity necessary for neural rewiring and emotional regulation is triggered naturally during the loss of a loved one. It identifies tools to deepen the intensity of one’s attachment to the person while simultaneously uncoupling oneself from a catalog of episodic memories to distance oneself from expectations that are maladaptive for a real and complete loss.
