Tracking # 20-1322484
Course overview
In a culture that prioritizes moving forward, grief remains an unspoken challenge for many. Therapists and counselors are often the only ones holding space for losss slow, nonlinear nature. Join renowned grief expert David Kessler for this powerful training to deepen your skills in guiding clients through grief with compassion and effectiveness. Society urges the grieving to move on, but healing requires slowing down learning how to support this process. Discover the most common mistakes therapists make when working with grief and how to avoid them. Unpack the hidden grief your clients may not even recognize and why it matters. Understand why grief is not just about death and how loss shows up in unexpected ways. Support changes of identity. Loss often reshapes a persons sense of self, roles, and future. Clinicians can help clients navigate identity reconstruction after grief.
