Surviving Suicide Loss: Making Your Way Beyond the Ruins

$129.99 Standard

Suicide and the stigma around it present painful challenges that can easily overwhelm the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of those left behind, leaving survivors feeling isolated and alone in its aftermath. This session will provide a roadmap to address specific strategies for soul care and post-traumatic growth (PTG) for suicide loss survivors and those who walk alongside them, helping them grope their way toward new sustainable frameworks of meaning. As a suicide loss survivor and therapist, the presenter brings a dual awareness that will help prepare clinicians in their work with suicidal clients and the survivors of suicide loss. You’ll discover:

  • Common emotional and spiritual issues that survivors of complex trauma face—such as stigma, complex grief, shame, existential shattering
  • Evidence-based strategies to help people rediscover personal strengths and the meaning necessary to move forward after this kind of traumatic loss
  • Specific strategies and interventions that foster adaptation and resiliency, including how to use somatic resourcing, art, writing, and mindfulness to cultivate personal and spiritual growth
  • How to interrogate the tacit assumptions about life, God and the world around them that were challenged by the trauma

Here's What You'll Learn

  • Surviving suicide loss: making your way beyond the ruins
  • The crisis of belief & existential shattering
  • Making meaning and the importance of “why”
  • The neurobiology of the traumatized brain for clinicians
  • Assessment strategies for complex grief
  • Tools for managing guilt
  • Expressive and somatic interventions
