Transitional Objects and Unfinished Grief January 30, 2013

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Giullian Gioiello, Lisa Arnone

When a divorced woman fell into depression the moment her ex-husband removed his things, Armand DiMele recognized a classic pattern: the husband had been buffering unresolved grief over her father’s death. Armand, joined by Lisa Arnone, LCSW, and co-host Giullian Gioiello, explores how people, music, and objects absorb original pain, and why the loss of a substitute can hit harder than the original wound.
