New Podcast On Grief “Healing with David Kessler” Available

 FIRST TWO EPISODES NOW LIVE

 

Grief is one of the most personal and private emotions we feel. Its pain can last for decades or a lifetime, and it can radically change our lives. It was a breakthrough in 1969 when Dr. Elisabeth Kubler Ross  identified the five stages of grief -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. She went on to co-author several books with David Kessler on the subject of grief and how to cope.

Now that same David Kessler is hosting a Spotify podcast.

Parcast, a Spotify Studio, has premiered their latest new series Healing with David Kessler, a new podcast exclusively on Spotify. The podcast's host, David Kessler, is an international best-selling author of six books, including Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief and founder of Grief.com. 

 

Every Tuesday, David Kessler will provide listeners a guide to healing through starting conversations, allowing people to heal by pulling wisdom from within themselves. David’s experience dealing with grief and trauma since he was young lends to his impeccable ability to heal through conversation. Whether it be trauma, abuse, grief, disappointments or estrangements, he will provide a time, place and platform to help people find their healing.

Healing with David Kessler will be a space to share wisdom and hope and ultimately answer the questions: when is healing possible, and what does it look like? If you’ve ever thought healing was not possible, David will show that there is always hope, no matter what you’ve been through. This season will cover stories of facing difficult life challenges from job loss, divorce, betrayal and death of a loved one, with guests including actor William Shatner, GMA Correspondent Will Reeve, Medium Tyler Henry, Holocaust Survivor and author of “The Gift,” Dr. Edith Eger and bestselling author, political activist and spiritual thought leader Marianne Williamson. 

In the first episode, David opens up about his experience with grief and loss, and explains why it is so important to communicate emotions.

●      Episode Title: Why Talk About Grief?

●      Episode Description: Confronting grief can be messy, painful, and a lot of times, it can feel optional. Why provoke your deepest, wildest emotions — the ones that make you feel like you’ve lost control? In his very first episode, David Kessler sets the stage for why talking about grief is so vital. He opens up about his own tragic experiences with loss, and details the transformative encounters with psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross that led him deeper into this work. If you’re carrying grief with you, know this: There are no rules here. But there’s always hope.

In the second episode, Kessler is joined by actor William Shatner to discuss life’s meaning, and William gives insights into his own journey of dealing with grief.
