Grief Lives in the Body, Not Just the Mind
Mar 27, 2026 • S07 E04 • 00:07:18
Grief is often associated with sadness or bereavement. But it doesn’t always show up that way.
In this episode, I explore grief from a somatic perspective and how it lives in the nervous system, not just the mind. You might experience grief as exhaustion, heaviness, brain fog, or a loss of motivation, without realising that grief is what’s underneath.
We look at why grief can feel so physical, how it affects your ability to function, and why it often goes unrecognised when it doesn’t fit the usual idea of mourning.
This episode may help you understand your experience differently and bring a little more compassion to what your body is going through.
If this meant something to you, you might also find it helpful to explore my episodes on emotional eating, nervous system regulation, and relationships, where these patterns are often closely connected.
