Upcoming Events |
Currently, our monthly meetings are held virtually by ZOOM until further notice.
Once we get back to meeting in person, we will be gathering at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm CST. The address is 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis. There is plenty of free parking. Every other month will feature a local speaker or special interest topic. Join us for 'Ask a Doula' in the other months for an informal discussion about end of life doula work. Monthly meetings are just one of the benefits to membership. However, if you aren't a 'joiner' or just want to check us out before committing to a long-term (year-long) relationship, monthly meetings are $10 to attend. This change is effective as of our January 2020 gathering. Learn more information about membership here. |

Grief during the Holidays - Kristen Paradise MS, LPC, NCC, CEOLD
Summary: Grief and loss adaptation, especially during traditional holidays, as well as special anniversaries, can impact the grieving person in a different manner. When we are presented with specific dates, that allow us to recall a past loved one, additional stress and anxiousness can occur in relation to loss. So how do we manage this adaptation, and talk about these emotional experiences with others? Self-compassion, as well as the compassion for others, are crucial to the process of grieving. Through this talk, I hope to give deeper understainding to others, of how to manage these anniversaries and holidays, and the emotional impact that they have on the individual.
Bio: Kristen N. Paradise, MS, LPC, NCC, CEOLD is a licensed psychotherapist working in private practice in Anoka, MN. Kristen has been in the mental health field for the past 6 years where she has worked with differing forms of trauma, abuse, child, adolescent and family conflict, as well as specializing her practice for those whom present with gender identity concerns, grief, loss and bereavement. Kristen has also become a certified end-of-life doula, to assist in providing care dying persons and their caregivers. Kristen is currently pursuing her PhD, where, upon completion, Kristen’s plan is to conduct research on Transgender grief experiences and how these experiences differ from others, and how therapists and individuals can best support this community through the process of grief.
