Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell

 

The Loss Prescription is a psychologically grounded guide to understanding grief in all its forms -  not only bereavement, but the quieter, often invisible losses that shape a life.

 

Drawing on counselling psychology, neuroscience of grief, existential insight, and years of therapeutic practice, the book offers a humane and steady framework for meeting loss without judgement, urgency, or pressure to “move on”.

 

It recognises grief not as a problem to be solved, but as an expression of love, meaning, and attachment.

 

At its heart, The Loss Prescription invites a different relationship with the pain of grief.- one rooted in presence, compassion, and emotional authenticity honesty.

 

Rather than offering stages or timelines, it helps readers understand what is happening psychologically and somatically, and how healing unfolds when experience is allowed to be met rather than managed.

 

The book has been widely read by individuals navigating personal loss, as well as professionals working in health, mental health, education, and caring roles.

 

It continues to inform wider conversations about grief, trauma, and emotional wellbeing.

Context

 

My wider work extends beyond grief into the psychology of healing, embodiment, presence, and the restoration of emotional trust in oneself. The Loss Prescription sits at the foundation of this body of work, offering a compassionate and psychologically rigorous entry point into these themes.
