Description
While most therapists are experienced in exploring the pain and trauma of grief, their clients may be asking for a clear direction out of their pain to peace. Clients commonly look to their therapist with questions like when will this pain end?...when will I feel like myself again?, etc.
David Kessler, one of the world’s foremost experts on healing and loss, will share insights at how death shapes our grief and explore appropriate interventions and talking points to use in-session with your grieving clients seeking peace.
Join David for a short demonstration of grief in the body will be Paul Dennison, creator of Grief Yoga. He will share strategies on how to engage the pain through the mind and body connection. You'll help clients experientially learn breathing, movement, sound, and yoga techniques that anyone can do for your grieving clients. These adaptable body-based interventions can bring relief, comfort, and light into the lives of your clients.
