Managing grief and bereavement is our discussion next Thursday on The BACK LOUNGE with music savvy guest psychotherapist Adrianna Irvine http://adriannatherapy.com/ Whatever you may have unfolding back home, it can be hard to manage when you’re on the road. Many of us are avoidant at the best of times, and touring can be a great place to hide, so how can we manage our feelings without being avoidant, and not let the team down? Thursday (note not our usual Wednesday) 29th May 6pm London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT
If this resonates in any way, to join our call, email info@thebacklounge.org to register AT LEAST 30 MINS before the call starts for your zoom link
