How To Actually Grieve (with Mike Murray)

Unprocessed loss is one of the most common drivers of unwanted sexual behavior. When we don't allow ourselves to grieve, pain stays trapped in the body until it comes out sideways, often through unwanted sexual behavior. Mike Murray shares his story of losing his father at age eight, his personal healing process, and why we need to stop invalidating our pain and start giving our younger selves the love they need. You'll hear the 6 needs of the grieving, practical ideas on how to grieve well, and what happens when we invite Jesus into our grief. Mike Murray is a licensed independent social worker with 10 years of experience specializing in EMDR Therapy and grief work. Trained by grief experts Megan Devine and David Kessler, Mike is passionate about destigmatizing mental health in the church.
