Navigating Life's Complexities: A Deep Dive into Grief and Resilience with Edy Nathan
Edy Nathan, a licensed and certified sex therapist with extensive training in EMDR, hypnotherapy, and Family Systems, discusses her approach to understanding and living alongside grief.
With decades of experience, she helps individuals navigate their pain with self-compassion and resilience. Nathan, an expert in grief and sexual grief, talks about the significance of viewing grief as a dance of self-discovery rather than a linear process.

Nathan also delves into her personal experiences, the physical and emotional impacts of grief, and how she maintains her own emotional well-being.
The dialogue highlights the importance of community, empathy, and embodied curiosity in the grieving process.
