What happens to your body when you experience grief, loss, or a major life change?
In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki, a body-centered grief therapist who helps people understand the physical, emotional, and mental impact of loss. After losing his sister in a tragic car accident, Jason discovered that traditional talk therapy wasn't enough to help him heal. Through yoga, meditation, nervous system regulation, and body-centered healing practices, he found a new path forward.
Jason explains why grief isn't just about emotions—it affects your entire body. He shares how unresolved grief can show up through unhealthy habits, sleep issues, stress, identity shifts, and even physical symptoms. Whether you've experienced the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or a major life transition, this conversation offers practical tools to help you move forward.
You'll also learn a simple breathing exercise that can help regulate your nervous system in just a few minutes.
If you're struggling with grief or supporting someone who is, this episode provides hope, understanding, and actionable strategies for healing.
