Celeste the Therapist is a mental health and emotional wellness podcast created to support you in real, everyday life — not just when you're in crisis, but as a daily practice of awareness, regulation, and intentional living. Hosted by licensed mental health counselor Celeste Viciere, LMHC, the podcast offers grounded conversations and therapeutic insights to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world. The Daily Shift At the heart of the podcast is The Daily Shift — a short, daily ritual designed to help you pause, regulate, and reconnect with yourself, even on your busiest days. Each episode offers one simple perspective to support emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and small shifts that create lasting change. You don't need to listen perfectly. You don't need to listen every day. The ritual is here when you need a moment to come back to yourself. Long-Form Episodes In addition to The Daily Shift, the podcast features longer conversations exploring mental health, relationships, childhood experiences, emotional growth, and healing — all through an accessible, therapist-led lens.

She opens up about the physical reality of grief — the neck and head tension that hit her the moment she finally slowed down — and why so many of us don't recognize grief in our bodies until it forces us to stop. Celeste breaks down the somatic response to loss, what's happening neurologically when we go into caretaker/logistics mode during bereavement, and why the \"strong one\" in the family often grieves last. If you've ever felt like grief hit you out of nowhere — or felt it in your chest, your neck, your sleeplessness before you felt it in your tears — this episode is for you. Topics covered: Why grief is delayed when we go into planning/survival mode How the nervous system stores what we haven't processed Physical symptoms of grief that often go unrecognized Tools for somatic release and nervous system support Why grief ambushes us — and how to work with it instead of against it Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram","meta_description":"In this episode, Celeste gets personal about the loss of her older brother and what happened in her body after the funeral was planned and the logistics w…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1158,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/celeste-the-therapist-558249/episodes/ep-542-the-week-my-body-broke-down-what-grief-actually-feels-like/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/celeste-the-therapist-558249/ep-542-the-week-my-body-broke-down-what-grief-actually-feels-like.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
