Description

Grieving is an act of love, a love letter to what has been lost, and it lasts for the rest of our lives. But grief and loss can test our sense of resilience and render many of our usual coping strategies for difficult times obsolete. So how can therapists help clients who know grief is a process but want the pain to end? What does healing look like, in a space where so many of our tried-and-true strategies fall short? And when therapists and grieving clients encounter emotional roadblocks along the way, how should they proceed? In this session, you’ll explore the nuances of the grief process and learn ways of helping clients release grief. You’ll discover how to:

  • Determine what healing means for each client given their individual loss and their blocks to it
  • Guide clients through releasing feelings of guilt and self-blame
  • Navigate old wounds that may come up when a client is grieving
  • Help clients talk about grief with friends and family
