The Science Process of Healing from Grief Huberman Lab Podcast 74

This episode I discuss grief and the challenges of processing losses of different kinds I explain the biological mechanisms of grief including how neural circuits for emotional and factual memory combine with those for love and attachment to create feelings of absence and yearning I discuss how grief is distinct from depression yet why they can feel so similar I also provide science-based tools to assist with the grieving process including how to reframe and remap the relationship with those we have lost while still maintaining a strong emotional connection to them I also explain the importance of having and building strong foundational psychological and biological states so that we can better cope with grief when it happens Finally I describe tools to adjust those states including those for accessing sleep managing stress and emotional swings This episode is for those suffering from grief but also for everyone given that we all experience grief at some point in our lives We recorded this episode before the recent mass shooting tragedies in the United States While we hope the information in this episode will be of use to anyone suffering from grief of any kind and at any time we are also careful to acknowledge that many people require additional support and resources For that reason we include mention of such resources and we generally hope people will access them if needed HubermanLab Grief Thank you to our sponsors Eight Sleep a https 3A 2F 2Fwww eightsleep com 2Fhuberman a InsideTracker a https 3A 2F 2Finsidetracker com 2Fhuberman a ROKA a https 3A 2F 2Fwww roka com 2Fhuberman a Supplements from Momentous a https 3A 2F 2Fwww livemomentous com 2Fhuberman a Social Website Instagram -
