Grief Club: The Podcast with Addison Brasil

Trying To Sleep After Loss of a Loved One: Making Meaning of Grief Dreams with Dr. Joshua Black

Addison Brasil Season 1 Episode 20

Why do I have so many dreams since I lost a loved one? What do my dreams mean? Why do I have recurring dreams about someone who's died? Is there a doctor who studies dreams? Can you gain meaning from dreams? What are ways to process dreams for healing? 

This week we dive into a conversation about life, loss, grief and grief dreams with one of the leading academic researchers on the topic, Dr. Joshua Black along. This epsiode inspired by Week 15 in First Year of Grief Club.  If you want to learn more about sleep specifically, check out our earlier episode with The Sleep Doctor, Dr. Micheal Breus. 

Dr. Joshua Black holds a MA and PhD in Psychology. He is a grief researcher, speaker, consultant, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. His work focuses on dreams and continuing bonds after loss, including prenatal and pet loss. As one of the leading academic experts in grief dreams, which can be dreams of the deceased, Joshua has directed his efforts on raising awareness about this fascinating phenomenon through media interviews, including PBS Next Avenue, CBC News, and Toronto Sun, in addition to speaking engagements and workshops.
