Grief isn’t only about physical death! We often exhibit behaviors that are symptomatic to dealing with unresolved grief; behaviors Teri calls "grief gremlins" because they come out when we feed them. Despite our best efforts residuals of grief like chaos and addiction can show up when we least expect them to. In this talk, Teri shares the key components to finding the gifts in our grief and invites healthy, sustainable life shifts that many of us never thought possible. Author, Mom, and Grief Specialist, Teri Pugh is dedicated to helping folks make sense of life’s hiccups and crossroads. Through her program Transcending Turbulence she helps folks navigate loss to reconnect and reclaim their peace of mind, happiness and balance and discover the gift in grief. Teri sees clients in private practice and travels the country facilitating workshops and seminars on this personal freedom. In addition she teaches her program to inmates at a local Maximum Security State Prison. With over 2 decades in this arena, Teri knows the domino effect of unresolved grief, pain and anger. It not only weighs heavy on the heart and mind, over time can result in a state of “dis-ease”, showing up in a variety of discomforts in our physical, as well as emotional and mental states. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
