He has worked with a diverse clientele ranging from Fortune 500 CEOs to world class athletes, from homemakers to statesmen and entertainers. Dr. Naiman has helped develop sleep products ranging from mattresses to melatonin and provided consultation to organizations ranging from yoga ashrams to world renowned rock bands.

He is the author of groundbreaking works on sleep, including Healing Night, Healthy Sleep (with Dr. Weil), The Yoga of Sleep, To Sleep ToNight, and Hush, as well as professional book chapters. He also blogs for The Huffington Post.

CW::// Substance Related Death

For this month's episode: the topic of the month, I spoke with Robin Monson-Dupuis about grieving as a mental health professional. We discussed the unique experience of grief as a therapist, returning to work after loss, tending to our grief, considering what and how to discuss our grief with clients, and how differently people grieve and respond to devastating life events.

Robin has been a psychotherapist and substance abuse counselor for over 30 years. She has been a leader in her workplace, church, and community. She continues to travel on a healing journey, often not knowing where that will take her, but trying to trust the process. Her book is Spirit Son.

You can find her book, blog and other ways to connect with Robin on her website..

Learn about interpersonal neurobiology and relational neuroscience with Robyn Gobbel, who hosts the Parenting After Trauma Podcast, Creator of Being With, an Immersion course for parenting professionals, and The Club, a virtual community for parents of kids with big baffling behaviors. Robyn is also the author of Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors; Brain-Body-Sensory Strategies that Really Work, to be released later in 2023.
