Grief: A Pathway to Forgiveness | Joan Rosenberg | TEDxRoseburg

Most people think of grief as it relates to relationship losses. Yet grief, especially "disguised grief", underlies emotional reactions (e.g. bitterness, blame, grudges, hostility, negativity, regret, or resentment) or it is connected to different kinds of losses . . . losses tied to life experiences that occurred in childhood or through adulthood. These losses involve facing what your childhood or adulthood, was - or was not - by recognizing the difference between what you needed, wanted and dreamed of and what really occurred. Psychologist, Dr. Joan Rosenberg notes the healing nature of grief as she describes her five step framework, the Grief Reset Protocol™, an approach that suggests that grieving and making sense of your life story can be a path to forgiveness and a happier, healthier life. Best-selling author, consultant, media host and master clinician, Dr. Rosenberg is a cutting-edge psychologist known as an innovative thinker, acclaimed speaker and trainer. As a TEDx speaker and member of the Association of Transformational Leaders, she has been recognized for her thought leadership and influence in personal development.
