Nathan M McTague is Co-Founder of the Center for Emotional Education. For nearly two decades, Nathan’s research and work have concentrated on emotional development from childhood through adulthood — producing one of the most sophisticated frameworks available for understanding how the brain drives behavior. When Nathan’s brother, Edward, died in 2023, that expertise was brought into direct contact with one of the most universal and underserved human experiences: grief.



 

This transformative journey revealed how unprepared modern culture is to meet loss with real understanding or skill. Today, Nathan speaks and works with individuals and organizations on emotional intelligence, behavior change, and grief literacy, and hosts the podcast Full-Time Grievers. Nathan’s new mission is to reframe grieving as a profound neurological and emotional process — not a problem to fix, but an individual unfolding to be skillfully supported.
