Unscripted With Nell Daly

Everyone has faced loss: a breakup, death of a loved one, divorce, a huge professional setback.  In the West, we are programmed to avoid or numb our pain with things like alcohol, shopping, food, endless hours on social media or sex. In today's episode, one of the most profound spiritual thinkers of our time, Francis Weller, explains to us the value of facing our fears and grief while staying conscious.  He says, "In our symptoms lie our souls deepest desires." After years of seeing patients, I couldn't agree more.  Learning to have an apprenticeship with sorrow is the first step to living a life unscripted. After spending an hour listening to Weller, you'll know where to start.
