Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Samantha Waite is a PACFA-accredited psychotherapist, certified practicing counsellor, and international speaker on death literacy. She is the founder of Taboo Education, an independent business based in Perth, Western Australia, dedicated to improving how medical professionals approach death, dying, and end-of-life care. Taboo Education provides psychological education, consultation, and resources to reduce death anxiety and challenge the “death is a failure” mindset often found in clinical environments. She also has a YouTube channel, Taboo Education - Let's Talk Death. In this episode, we talk about death literacy. We talk about what it is about, where death anxiety stems from, and common misconceptions people have about death and dying. We discuss whether people should fear death, and whether most deaths are peaceful. We talk about end-of-life care and death denial, how death tends to be approached by medical professionals, and toxic positivity. We discuss attitudes toward suicide, medical assistance in dying, and the importance of funerals and other death-related rituals. We talk about how sexuality might relate to death. Finally, we discuss how death anxiety can be dealt with in the context of psychotherapy, and how we can learn to deal better with death in modern industrialized societies. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.
