Joon Park, author of "As Long as You Need" discusses grief and its impact on bodyworkers and their clients with Til Luchau. Park, a hospital chaplain, shares his experiences with grief, trauma, and the importance of acknowledging and integrating pain rather than suppressing it. He emphasizes the role of the body in grief, the concept of "letting in" rather than "letting go," and the significance of rituals and community in processing loss. The conversation also touches on the idea of the "intimate stranger" and the therapeutic power of touch and presence.Key Topics:
•Grief isn’t about “letting go” but “letting in” and honoring the lost.•Societal pressures often encourage suppressing grief.•Parallels between grief and trauma: both require embracing pain rather than avoiding it.•Physical manifestations of grief and the role of bodywork in processing it.•Importance of rituals in grief (including the "ritual" of getting bodywork) for emotional and physical healing.•The significance of community and meaningful connections in combating loneliness.•The “intimate stranger” concept, where trust can build quickly with clients.•Touch as non-verbal "prayer" and support in grief.•Encouraging open conversations about grief and loss, and building authentic relationships.Get the full transcript at Til or Whitney's sites!
