Episode notes
Change as Grief
- Change can feel like grief and loss, especially when it seems things are getting worse.
- We prefer familiar pain and the certainty it brings over the uncertainty of new pain brought by change.
Kubler-Ross Model
- The Kubler-Ross grief model includes denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
- We often deny our losses to maintain a sense of safety, even at the cost of addressing the issue.
Acknowledge Your Pain
- Don't belittle your pain or sadness by comparing it to others' greater losses.
- Acknowledge and process your feelings instead of hiding them; otherwise, they'll resurface later.
