Rio Richards on Grief, Anxiety and Healing After Devastating Loss

Send us a text Our guest this week is Rio Richards. Rio is a private practice therapist and a grief integration coach, specializing in helping adults navigate the profound and complex journey of loss and trauma. With a somatic and psychodynamic lens, Rio guides individuals to heal and rebuild using both the power of the mind and body for long-term resilience and change. Her mission is to help those who feel stuck and powerless in the aftermath of tragedy find their way to a new version of themselves with radical compassion and unapologetic clarity. In this episode we discuss: Finding the balance between the deeply personal experience of grief but the collective and universal experience of it too The many ways society is not set up to support grievers or embrace grief as a powerful catalyst (and what we can do to change this)Secondary losses and how these can often times be even more long term impactful than the primary loss, but can also be invisible to many Grief anxiety and how it can change the way we orient ourselves in the world The role of the nervous system in grief and the mind - body connection (why this is key to healing)Loss when it doesn"t involve another person but a dream, an expectation or a reality that falls short of expectations and how we can support ourselves through this very human experience PLEASE NOTE TW: I discuss my experience with grief due to miscarriages, including a late miscarriage last year (a late miscarriage is a pregnancy loss between weeks 12 and 24). I don"t go into details but since October 15th was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, I wanted this episode to be a gift to anyone walking this painful road or a journey of infertility as well.
