Huberman Lab: The Science & Process of Healing from Grief
In this video Andrew Huberman discusses grief and the challenges of processing losses of different kinds. He explains 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. He discusses how grief is distinct from depression, yet why they can feel so similar. He also provides 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. He also explains the importance of having and building strong foundational psychological and biological states so that we can better cope with grief when it happens. Finally, he describes 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. https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/the-science-and-process-of-healing-from-grief
