In the course of counselling, you may come across clients who foresee their own impending death and separation from their loved ones through different illness and dying trajectories. This training will introduce meaning reconstruction perspectives to understand the meaning crisis in illness contexts and examine the resulting death anxiety and preparatory grief as experienced by those who are diagnosed with a terminal illness. It will also equip you with meaning-oriented intervention tools to facilitate life review and enhancement of sense of self, as well as to prepare these clients to face various challenges in the end-of-life phase and their eventual death.
