75, It's Just You and Me Now, Kid
Bryna Talamantez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Texas. She has dealt with death and grief from a young age. Being that she was so young, she didn't realize that anything was out of the ordinary about her life. She spent a lot of time in hopsitals as her dad received care over the years, witnessed her mom giving him CPR, and experienced several instances of other people picking her up from school and whisking her off to the hospital. Bob was 52 years old when he passed away. Bryna was just 9 years old.
At age 14, Bryna experienced the death of her maternal grandmother. Bryna and her mother lost the grounding presence that helped them co-exist the most peacefully. This lead to some difficult times between mother and daughter but their love for each other never waivered. Bryna was a young 19 when her mom, Debbie, passed away unexpectedly just a month shy of turning 60.
Bryna called upon her life experiences while in college and decided to become a Family Therapist. She helps young children who are dealing with trauma and or grief. She also started her own podcast, What the Feels, where she and her guests are on a journey to unravel mental health themes of the media we consume on a daily basis.
Bryna's advice for those helping a child through grief:
"We need to listen, be honest with them, and be with them to help them."
Bryna has her own "What the Feels" playlist that she listens to when she needs to feel the feels. Samples from her list will be availabe on Instagram.
