Episode description
**A gentle warning, this episode discusses suicide. If you are feeling vulnerable in this area, please consult with a doctor or mental health professional in your area. Or call one of the Suicide Prevention numbers listed in the resources.**
Have you noticed a heightened awareness of death in the past two years? Or maybe you didn't experience the loss of a person, but you grieved the loss of other things, like routines, experiences, or a job. Today I am talking to Kathryn Patrick-Butts about her own experience with thoughts of grief and the mindfulness practice she has implemented in her own life.
Top 3 reasons to listen to this full episode:
- Identifying and understanding our impulses to avoid pain.
- What to do when the thoughts of death become invasive.
- Avoiding burnout by holding space for yourself while holding space for others
