In the conversation today, Gina shares about her transition into grief and trauma therapy and the differences between “big T and little t” trauma.  Gina tells us about how trauma and grief are linked and about how this has been especially apparent since the onset of the global pandemic.  She talks about the importance of using proper language around grief with children and why bringing caregivers, parents and teachers into the conversation is so important.
