Gina Moffa: The Link Between Trauma and Grief, and The Importance of Language

Gina Moffa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. She specializes in grief and trauma work, and has recently started her latest endeavor as a published author, writing about a more modern approach to grief and grieving in the world today. 

In the conversation today, Gina shares about her transition into grief and trauma therapy and the differences between “big T and little t” trauma.  Gina tells us about how trauma and grief are linked and about how this has been especially apparent since the onset of the global pandemic.  She talks about the importance of using proper language around grief with children and why bringing caregivers, parents and teachers into the conversation is so important.
