Why are we so bad at Grief? with Erica Bertschy

In this episode of So, What Brings You to Therapy, Deana sits down with Erica Bertschy founder of EWB Counseling in Denver, Colorado, to explore the complexities of grief and grief counseling. Erica shares her insights on how grief shows up in unexpected ways—and why our society often struggles to acknowledge or support it.

Together, they unpack the non-linear and deeply personal nature of grief, the need for emotional space and support, and the added challenges of grieving in an individualistic culture. Whether you're grieving something tangible or unnamed, this episode is an invitation to honor your experience—whatever shape it takes.
