What was said

"You can become a psychiatrist, a therapist, a coach without one hour of grief education."

David Kessler argues that grief training is not a standard component of professional education for psychiatrists, therapists and coaches. He recommends seeking clinicians “who know grief” when trying to distinguish grief-related sadness from clinical depression.
