A brief description about this Activity.
Grief following a bereavement is a challenging yet ‘normal’ human experience. However, grief can often feel anything but ‘normal’. Our clients may seek us out directly for support following a bereavement. Alternatively, the impact of a significant bereavement may unfold during our work with clients who have accessed therapy for other reasons. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have become acutely aware of loss and bereavement. As with any traumatic event, as the pandemic eases, it has been predicted that more people will come forward for support around loss and bereavement and may be more likely to experience complex grief. The idea of ‘complex grief’ assumes that some grief is more challenging than others. Others would argue that all grief complex. ‘Prolonged grief disorder’ is now a diagnostic category within the DSM-V and ICD-11. Does this help or hinder our clients and our work? Can we grieve for ‘too long’? This training is designed for therapists who would like to feel more confident in working with bereaved clients. The day will provide an overview of both theory and practice in this area. There will be a mixture of presentations from Clare with individual and breakout room exercises, to facilitate reflection and learning. During the day we will explore the experience of grief following a bereavement, considering both the unique experience of grief, and commonalities presented within models of grief. Having considered the theory of grief following bereavement, we will explore what therapy might look like practically at different points on the client’s journey and the interventions available to us. We will also consider self-care and how we support others, when we ourselves may also be experiencing loss.
