Ep. 42 - He lost his daughter to suicide | Interview Malcolm Stern

<p>Malcolm Stern is a British psychotherapist who lost his daughter Melissa to suicide in 2014. He recently published his book "Slay your dragons with compassion: ," which tells the story of her loss and his process through grief. In this interview, he told me that it took him months until he shed his first tears, and only then did he start his healing path.</p> <p>One of the things that helped him was to become selective about his relationship because he noticed that some people would avoid him. &nbsp;"We are drawn to the places inside us that are not healed. Relationships have the capacity to bring us to healing in the places where there have been childhood wounds that have never been faced," he said.</p> <p>Malcolm also explores the ways in which Melissa's suicide affected his family, particularly his connection with his two other kids, and gives us precious suggestions on how to face our grief.</p> <p>Find Malcolm Stern: <a href="https://bit.ly/3n9kIx0">https://bit.ly/3n9kIx0</a></p> <p>Find his book: <a href="https://amzn.to/3juYUK0">https://amzn.to/3juYUK0</a></p> <p>Donate to the podcast:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/3maL9RO" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3maL9RO</a></p> <p>Watch this interview, on my YouTube Channel "<a href="https://youtu.be/uzvikTpOPYs">Understand Suicide</a>"</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/uzvikTpOPYs" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/uzvikTpOPYs</a></p> <p>Visit my page&nbsp;<a href="https://www.understandsuicide.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.understandsuicide.com</a></p> <p>Find my book "Understanding suicide: living with loss, paths to prevention"</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2ANczuR" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2ANczuR</a></p> <p>Contact me and exchange experiences on my&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;page:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/3h8sIet" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3h8sIet</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/paula-fontenelle/message
