Dr. John Elfers, a core faculty member in the Transpersonal Studies program at Sofia University (formerly the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology) — has been a key researcher in exploring how grief and gratitude intersect, especially within a transpersonal (beyond the ordinary self) psychological framework. His work, often in collaboration with Dr. Patty Hlava and others, suggests that gratitude isn’t just a pleasant feel-good emotion — it can actively shape how people cope with loss.
