How do you truly heal when life throws its toughest challenges your way? Welcome back to an incredibly heartfelt and insightful conversation with Gina Moffa, a dedicated grief and trauma-informed therapist based in New York City. Gina introduces her upcoming book, "Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go," and sheds light on her journey as a therapist, particularly the lessons learned from her clients and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on her practice. Discover the profound connections Gina has made through social media and how these interactions have shaped her understanding of grief and trauma.
Gina and I unpack the raw and messy experiences of therapy - both from the perspective of the therapist and the client. We dive into the essence of authenticity in therapy, the pitfalls of the modern quick-fix mentality, and the distinct differences between therapy and coaching. Learn why therapy should be viewed as an ongoing maintenance process, much like regular medical check-ups. We also touch on the unique challenges of grieving during a pandemic and the importance of finding resources that genuinely resonate with one's personal journey through loss.
In our deep discussion on grief, we challenge conventional models and emphasize the need for individualized approaches. Gina offers her insights on the cyclical and unpredictable nature of grief, stressing the importance of planning and support systems. From understanding the nervous system's role in processing intense emotions to creating a safe therapeutic environment, this episode is packed with practical advice and compassionate wisdom. Don't miss Gina Moffa's comforting perspective on navigating loss, as we honor the past while finding strength and connection in the present.
Her book is out on paperback now! You can get it here.
