Life After Loss | Part 2: Growth

[@marilyn111111]

Crying through these two episodes because I recognize, finally, the grieving work I was never allowed to do when my dad died when I was 11. Was tranquilized, not allowed to go to the funeral, and angry at everything and everyone ever since and I am 62! Never understood how to let my inner child grieve till now. Powerful episodes. Thank you Alex Howard and Paul for helping countless others through these shows.

Thank you. So glad it has help, it was my wish from the beginning.

Sharing this sensitive content without causing prejudices to any of the parties, but making out of it a method for learning from the experience of other people, is, in my opinion, an art per se, in itself. Thank you!

[@AlexHowardTherapy]

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that. I can't really overstate the amount of care, conversation and reflection goes into striking so many delicate balances - Oliver (who leads In Therapy) in particular has become a true master (in my opinion) at finding that :-)

[@PaulRibbons]

Yes, they did an extremely great job in that respect, it was something we discussed prior to filming

Paul, you beautiful brave human, thank you for sharing your heart and doing your inner work. I hope you find peace x

[@PaulRibbons]

Thank you, I certainly have found the inner peace I never thought I could achieve. It's been life changing.

Wow, loosing my daddy at 6 and my husband at 34 I see so many similarities with this. I can't wait to finish the series and find more healing.

[@AlexHowardTherapy]

I'm sorry for you losses - thanks for watching and sharing :-)

[@PaulRibbons]

I really hope this has helped you, I know the burden of carrying it around for a long time, my thoughts are with you.

Just shows u that kids are just blank slates and whatever is reflected back to them becomes their narrative about themselves. So many parents have no capacity to reflect the true picture to a child. That sets a child up to approach life that actually depletes them of life by paying the price of proving that their picture was wrong all along.

[@AlexHowardTherapy]

Yes, so much of who we are is shaped in childhood.... and the empowering part is we can heal :-)

[@Polina-hn7hu]

@@AlexHowardTherapy absolutely..but very few can afford therapy to understand this dynamic..its very tricky to get to this through self education when u are struggling under various demands this society puts u under on a daily basis.

The "inner critic" can have a valuable purpose, as well as be a pain in the butt.

[@PaulRibbons]

Agreed, it has got me out of a tight spot or 2

[@SunnyBlueSkyDay]

How many weeks did these therapy sessions take place?

[@AlexHowardTherapy]

There were 8 sessions over around 12 weeks in total. This episode spans 3 sessions over around 4-5 weeks.

[@scottishgiggirl]

It has taken me about 70 sessions to begin to acknowledge my inner critic and l am still not ready to challenge it.

Pauls siblings.. ?

[@AlexHowardTherapy]

We are very careful to focus on the subjects story and except in certain circumstances leave those details out.... it is a delicate balance and I do give a little context in a few places in the voice over....
