WELCOME TO THE


When therapists and healers

don’t understand grief work

they tend to do a few things:

  1. Refer out (usually a knee jerk reaction)

  2. They give it a try (just to see what happens)

  3. And they try to rely on the tried and true interventions that work for them and feel comfortable to practice.

The good news is the basics that we possess are the foundation to support the grieving. The bad news is unfortunately it is not always effective in companioning the client to heal their grief and move through to post (traumatic) grief growth.

 

Grief work has to have grief education complimenting it.  Only then does grief begin to make sense in the senselessness of it.

 

For grief therapy to be effective, it’s simple, we have to companion the grieving.

 

As clinicians and healing professionals we must be able to vacillate between professionalism and companionship. That means easing in and out of our clinical skills and approach, and into the vulnerability of being a human professional. That also means being able to feel comfortable in the sacred silence, the vulnerability of not knowing what to say or how to lead, as well as digging into our own rich experience around loss and grief.  For some this is the scary piece behind the insecurities of supporting grief. These are also the things that help us to bridge our compassion with the clinical.

 

It may sound simple and some may even say that it feels intimidating,

 

And in order to be a compassionate connector effectively and successfully, one must first understand grief and how it impacts the mind, body, heart, spirit and soul.

 

Grief work and therapy interventions aren’t a one and done deal. Grief work is as eclectic as the griever is individual. You CAN learn the skill of bridging the clinical you already know and practice with the compassionate connection your client is seeking in healing their grief. You can do this with education, interventions and companioning compassionately and we are gathered here to show you how.

This Course is Right for You if...


  • You are ready to learn more on how to work with the grieving.

  • You are a mental health professional, are in the medical field, are a counselor or any interdisciplinary team member that has a heart of service and healing.

  • You are a student, Intern and Practicum Practitioner curious to learn more .

  • If grief work is something you generally don't do, due to feeling ineffective with it presently and struggle in your own personal history with grief.

May not be exactly right for...


  • Those who are seeking certification. The symposium isn't set up for that yet.

  • Those who are wanting Continuing Education credit. CEU's are not available at this time. Let me encourage you not to let this stop you though!

  • Those who are grieving and seeking a course on how to grieve. There's a another course for that.

  • And this is definitely not a course for our clients. The content is not appropriate for them.
