"Grieving in the Shadows: Exploring Hidden Loss"

So, so stoked to reveal my guest on the next episode of the "You Don't Look Like a Therapist" podcast is none other than the one and only Tyler Despins. We've been Mox & Suit for over 20 years, we've traveled the world together, we've supported each other through ups, down, and all arounds. We share a few tattoos and countless stories that those tattoos hold. We've watched ourselves grow from punk ass kids at Winona State University to now doing this, taking a deep dive into a topic that is near and dear to both of our hearts-- helping and supporting people through grief and loss, and more specifically, "hidden loss", the death of a pet or the breakup of a relationship (not a divorce), losses that maybe don't get the recognition of other types of loss. Ty is the Owner/Operator of Cherished Pet Cremations in Rochester, MN and works tirelessly to support people through the grieving process associated with losing a pet. Join us in this episode as we discuss how we help people to navigate and heal through these hidden losses, how we support people in being "OK" with feeling these losses as intensely as the death of a human or a divorce, we play a game of "this or that" where we learn Ty's fav Spice Girl, we get a cameo appearance from Ty's 90 year old cat, Dante, and we shed light on this incredibly important topic that impacts each of us at some point in our lives.
