In today’s uncertain world, change has been thrust upon us all. Many of us have had to deal with immense grief and loss. Some have unexpectedly discovered new ways of living more fulfilling that before. Across the world, the pandemic has hit us all in deeply personal ways without choice or warning.
You Okay, Doc?’s psychotherapist, Chris Cherry, will be hosting grief expert and best-selling author of ‘This Too Shall Pass’ and ‘Grief Works’, the Hon. Julia Samuel. Together, they will confront the often unspoken feelings around death, loss and change – and draw on their combined conversations with patients to bring insight into how we can adapt and thrive during our most difficult and transformative experiences.
After the discussion, Julia and Chris will be answering questions from webinar attendees. Email [email protected] with yours.
Join the conversation on Thursday 2 July at 7pm. Reserve your space here.
The full webinar recording will be available from Saturday 4 July on You Okay, Doc?’s YouTube Channel, found here.
