    Give Yourself Permission To Grieve with Christal Pennic

    Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Christal R Pennic, LPC-MHSP, a licensed mental health therapist who specializes in grief and bereavement. Chris opens up about her journey with loss and how it has transformed her approach to mental health care.

Chris shares insightful techniques for addressing negative self-talk and reframing cognitive patterns to tackle the guilt that often accompanies loss. ABOUT THE GUEST: Chris is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist that specializes in Grief, Loss and Bereavement. She has experience providing grief therapy and trauma trainings within Metro Nashville Police Department, churches and in her private practice.
