Description:
Walking through the Canyon of Why
In my early years of my career, I met families and individuals who had suffered loss due to complex and grave causes, such as suicide or homicide. Many of them had tried to seek help from one or more community grief support resources without success. As a Certified Thanatologist as well as a Forensic Suicidologist I was concerned about the lack of understanding these clients were experiencing.
I have spent thirty years empathizing with grief and learning the techniques that clients find most helpful. I work with grief responses that follow both man and nature.-Made and natural causes of death have enabled me to provide a pathway for others so they can help the newly bereaved get back on track faster.
In this recording, I will share what has helped clients, both in the United States and internationally to heal from that universal experience we refer to as sudden and traumatic loss. I will help you to fill your therapeutic backpack and provide you with key clinical strategies that can be used to guide clients and you through complicated grief.
