#5 InSession: Bess Navigates Grief And Motherhood

Into The Work: Therapy For Empaths And Seekers

In this episode, Bess, who lost her mother to cancer just before becoming a mother again with twins, shares her journey of managing grief alongside the joys and challenges of raising three young children. She discusses the complexities of being a caregiver, the mixed feelings of relief after her mother's passing, and the adjustments to motherhood without her.
She discusses the complexities of being a caregiver and the relief she experienced when her mom finally passed only to find true greif taking over a year or two later.
Bess, a therapist herself, explores grief's bottomlessness and ways that she is able to embrace joy again and accept the ongoing process of healing and personal growth.
Together we explore techniques for releasing blocked emotions from the body and the importance of self-nurturing.

But most Heartwarming ❤️ is the special journey that Bess is on; rediscovering her mom and getting to know her better. Bess feels that she is picking up where her mom's healing journey left off and their parallel lives are teaching her lessons.

Connecting with the belief that soul contracts are to be respected, can shed some light on the personal work we are here to do when someone we love leaves us and passes on.

I hope you find this episode reminds you of your own journey of ❤️‍🩹 healing.
