#22| How Do I Find a Therapist or Support Person Who Understands Grief? What to Ask Before You Book
About this episode
This episode discusses how to find a therapist or support person who understands grief and what questions to ask before booking a session.
What to Ask Before You Book If you’ve ever tried to get support after loss and thought, “This person doesn’t get it,” this episode is for you. We’re talking about how to find a therapist or support person who actually understands grief, what to ask before you book, and how to tell if someone is a good fit without wasting your energy explaining your pain to the wrong person. In this episode, we cover: how to decide what you need right now: clinical therapy, grief coaching/support, or both where to look for grief-informed support (directories, loss organizations, hospital programs, referrals, etc.) the questions to ask before you schedule (experience with pregnancy/infant loss, trauma-informed approach, triggers/anniversaries, faith preferences, virtual options, policies) the questions to ask yourself after session one: Did I feel safe? Did I feel minimized? Did I leave with even 5% more breath? reminders you may need to hear: you’re allowed to “interview” support, and you don’t owe loyalty to the first person you try For more support beyond this episode—resources, coaching, and a place to land—visit my website .
