Give Yourself Permission To Grieve with Christal Pennic

Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Christal R Pennic, LPC-MHSP, a licensed mental health therapist who specializes in grief and bereavement. Chris opens up about her journey with loss and how it has transformed her approach to mental health care. Together, we explore the coexistence of joy and sorrow, diving into how acceptance isn't about being "okay" but learning to live with a new reality, and learning to give yourself permission to grieve. Chris shares insightful techniques for addressing negative self-talk and reframing cognitive patterns to tackle the guilt that often accompanies loss. ABOUT THE GUEST: Chris is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist that specializes in Grief, Loss and Bereavement. She has experience providing grief therapy and trauma trainings within Metro Nashville Police Department, churches and in her private practice. Her practice, Tittle-Pennic Grief Counseling & Consulting, LLC is a merging of her mother’s last name and her family name. Her family history is the “why” behind the healing work that she provides today. Connect with Chris here:https://www.tpgcc.com/ https://youtube.com/@thegripspotIG: thegr.ipspotAs always, I would love to hear from you, connect on IG @THISDOESNTCOUNTASTHERAPY 🤍 until next time,CarlissaSUPPORT ME HERE: https://buymeacoffee.com/thisdoesntcountastherapySend us a textSupport the showThis is not a substitute for therapy and should not be used as a replacement for the therapeutic relationship, individualized mental health or medical care.
