Description
Traumatic grief is a far cry from what many consider “normal” grief. Its roots run deeper, its pain more piercing, and its resolution often more elusive.
As clinicians, it’s our role to understand and hold space for its complexity – its ability to entangle itself deep within the human mind, intertwining with a client’s fundamental sense of self and reality – and tailor our care accordingly. But where do we start? How do we help clients in such complex, deep grief?
Start here, with Dr. Kate Truitt, seasoned applied neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, for a guided exploration into the science of loss, the neurological foundations of traumatic grief that can often override healing – and then learn strategies you can use right away with clients to get them on a path for healing and growth.
Watch Dr. Truitt for a 6-hour recording filled with demonstrations, guided practices, skill building and hands-on strategies, so your clients can:
- Harness neuroplasticity to foster resilience as they find meaning within and healing from the loss
- Discover pathways to posttraumatic growth, building strength and purpose from their grief and reshaping their future with hope
- Set boundaries that prioritize self-care and healthy coping skills during their grief journey
- Cultivate a compassionate relationship with themselves, nurturing self-understanding and self-care as they process their grief.
- Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enrich your trauma-informed therapeutic toolkit
