Death may end a life but not necessarily a relationship. In the course of counselling, you may come across clients who struggle with yearning for their deceased loved one or some forms of unfinished business that remain unaddressed, especially in difficult losses like suicide and tragic accidents. Drawing on attachment-informed models of bereavement and tripartite model of meaning reconstruction, this training will consider grieving as a process of reconstructing rather than relinquishing one’s continuing bond with the deceased. This will also equip you with the relevant meaning-oriented techniques to enable clients to review their disrupted bond and realign their positioning with the lost attachment figure in the aftermath of loss.
All counsellors, healthcare workers, social workers, psychologists, art / music / expressive arts therapists, school personnel, pastoral staff, and people involved in the helping professions.
2 days, 9am - 5pm
Participants who meet 75% class attendance will be awarded a Certificate of Completion by Portland Institute for Loss and Transition & Academy of Human Development.
