Familiarity can be beneficial, providing safety, comfort and enjoyment. It can also become detrimental. In this episode Brian explains how a familiarity bias regarding response to loss can lead to narrow thinking that keeps us stuck in our grief and hinders us from considering better ways. Healthy grieving can involve taking courageous steps into new ideas that while initially uncomfortable, hold promise for genuine heart-healing. Understanding and breaking away from our familiarity biases is vital for long term recovery following loss.
