In this episode, my guest Jessica Frasier (LCP) offers practical strategies to help adults and their children grieve healthy to cope after any loss. After losing two loved ones to suicide and a brother to drunk driving, Jessica understands the harmful patterns that unresolved grief creates. Her early experience of unhealthy grieving led her to the work she does today as the founder of Hope Again Counseling located in Friendswood, Texas.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, and Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist, Jessica counsels bereaved adults and bereaved children. She has also provided counseling services in schools, private practice, trauma and grief centers and educates businesses about mental health and grief in the workplace.
This was an enlightening and invigorating conversation that contributes greatly to our awareness of and about loss, grief, recovery and healing.
