A leading figure in the intersection of mental health, academia, and the death industry, she is a professor at Lewis & Clark College where she teaches on death, loss, and psycho-spiritual development. She holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and served on the board of The NW Association for Death Education and Bereavement Support for eight years now. As a death and grief educator and therapist, she is passionate about expanding the ways in which we engage in conversation around death and dying. I strongly believe that exploring one’s own grief and loss experiences and sharing those experiences in community with others can promote a healthier society. I’m the author of Choosing Light: Transforming Grief through the Practice of Mindful Photography and Self-Reflection and esteemed doctoral research, Mindful Photography and its Implications in End-of-life Caregiving: An Art-based Phenomenology. “I honor my grief experiences as wisdom gained when I host a Within and Without Mindful Photography reflection group or train a facilitator or teach courses on death and dying. Bit by bit, I contribute toward a systemic shift in our society where we can be more death accepting rather than death denying and where there is more access to social grief support rather than grief isolation.” — Jessica Thomas PhD. | Choosing Light Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/choosinglight Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjessicathomas/ LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-thomas-phd-lmft-8707b382/ Website: www.dr.jessicathomas.com ---------------------------------------------------- I'm Dr. Heather Taylor, a licensed, PsyPact psychologist based out of Washington state.
