Corinne Masur, Psy.D.: Managing Family Stress During Grief | All Together #77

Following the loss of a friend or family member, sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’re grieving or stressed — it could very well be both! While these are very natural responses to a difficult time, letting them completely take over isn’t the best solution either. In this episode, host Marie Stella is joined by clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst Corinne Masur, Psy.D. to discuss what it takes to manage family stress during trying times.

For over 40 years, Corinne Masur, Psy.D. has treated young children and their parents, adolescents, and adults, in her private practice in Pennsylvania. She also runs parenting groups, is on the faculty of The Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia, and has written on many subjects including childhood bereavement. Furthermore, she’s the brilliant brains behind two blogs, Thoughtful Parenting, and Parenting Matters on Psychology Today, as well as books including ‘How Children Grieve: What Adults Miss and What They Can Do To Help’.

In this episode, Corinne Masur, Psy.D. stresses that there is no one way grief can impact a family. There are many ways that dynamics can change, and potentially become dysfunctional. Corinne Masur, Psy.D. notes the importance of being self reflective and honest about how you are feeling.

Together, Marie and Corinne Masur, Psy.D. discuss the importance of self-awareness, communication, and outlets that serve as stress relievers. So, tune in for an episode packed with insights on taking the edge off family stress during periods of mourning.
