Beyond the stages: Rethinking grief and loss (with Dr. John Wilson)

About this episode

Dr. John Wilson joins Sandy Clarke to discuss the evolution of grief and bereavement understanding and contemporary counselling approaches.

In this episode of Being Human, we welcome back Dr. John Wilson, who joins licensed counsellor and mindfulness author Sandy Clarke to explore how our understanding of grief and bereavement has evolved over time. From Freud’s early theories to the widely known – but often misunderstood – stages of grief, Dr. Wilson discusses how contemporary approaches in bereavement counselling offer more flexible, personalised ways of supporting those in mourning. The conversation also explores the balance between personal grief and cultural expectations, addressing the challenges people face when navigating loss in a way that feels authentic while honouring tradition. __ To learn more about Relate Malaysia and our services, visit www.relate.com.my
