How can we help children understand and cope with grief, loss, and trauma? What should parents say when a child loses a grandparent or someone they love?
In this important episode of The Hamilton Review Podcast, Dr. Bob Hamilton welcomes Dr. Gozde Gokozan, a licensed psychotherapist with an established practice in Beverly Hills, California.
Originally from Turkey, Dr. Gokozan shares her personal journey, her educational background in the United States, and the experiences that have shaped her career in psychotherapy.
The conversation then turns to a subject that touches so many families: helping children navigate grief, loss, and trauma. Drawing on her professional expertise, Dr. Gokozan offers thoughtful insights and practical guidance for parents as they support their children through some of life’s most difficult experiences.
From helping a child process the death of a beloved grandparent to understanding how children experience and express grief, Dr. Bob and Dr. Gokozan explore the importance of communication, compassion, and emotional support.
This is a meaningful and informative conversation for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who plays an important role in a child’s life.
