Dr. Abigail Nathanson (she/hers) is a New York City-based licensed psychotherapist, board-certified palliative social worker and co-author of the forthcoming book “The Practice of Clinical Social Work in Healthcare” from Springer Press. While illness and grief are universal, our own unique experiences drive how we understand them, what patterns and meaning we recognize within them, and how we integrate them into the rest of our lives. Whether your “new normal” is an illness, caregiving or bereavement, you have a lot to wrap your head around. It can overwhelm all of the ways you knew how to be in the world before. The impacts on how you feel, how you act, and how you relate can be immense. While family and friends often try to help, many people find that specialized therapy and care planning offer a level of additional support during challenging times.
