Talking To Change: A Motivational Interviewing Podcast, hosted by Glenn Hinds and Sebastian Kaplan, is a series of conversations exploring Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its influence on supporting individuals and groups as they make positive health and lifestyle changes.
In this episode of Talking to Change, Glenn and Sebastian welcome Dr. M. Katherine shear of Columbia University School of Social Work to talk about grief and how MI can be used to address it. Topics addressed include what grief is and how people experience it, what we are losing when a loved one dies, how people can adapt after a loss, the six “healing milestones,” sudden vs. expected loss, and Dr. Shear’s work around grief in the African American community.
