Emotional Connection & Suicide Loss With Raphael Cushnir

In this 65 minute Healing Project Interview with author and renowned teacher, Raphael Cushnir, a leading voice in the world of emotional connection and present moment awareness, we talk about the importance of feeling emotions, especially the difficult ones, in order to heal.

There are few experiences that bring us in contact with a wider range of painful emotions than the experience of losing a loved one to suicide. While the despair is devastating, the profound loss of suicide goes well beyond just grief. Our conversation explores how we reach a state of profound acceptance with this searing tragedy to begin the process of healing, while also finding deep compassion for ourselves along the way.
