Description
Description: This short course offers a clear, compassionate framework for working with grief, trauma and the many losses that shape people’s lives. The presenter distinguishes normal and complicated grief, explores how trauma reactions overlap with mourning, and shows how culture, attachment and past experiences shape the healing process. Participants learn practical steps for assessment, emotional expression, meaning making and reintegration, helping clients move toward resolution with greater stability and resilience.
Syllabus Description: This workshop will discuss the types of losses, the characteristics of trauma and the factors determining the severity of bereavement. The connection between trauma and grief will be explored and the typical human reactions in each will be discussed. Also examined will be the cluster group of symptoms when trauma and grief are both combined and overlapping. Special attention will be given to developing comprehensive strategies to help people both in trauma mastery and grief resolution.
Educational Objectives:
- To identify normal losses versus traumatic events.
- To describe the typical grief reactions following a major loss.
