This two-part workshop explores the universality of loss and grief with an emphasis on theories that have emerged over recent decades. These theories include the Dual Process Model (Stroebe & Schutz 1999) Continuing Bonds, (Klass, D Silverman 1996), and Darian Leaders’ ( 2009) ideas about mourning. These ‘maps’ are useful to help us navigate our companioning with clients in their grief. Death is part of life, and we too experience many losses and griefs in our life – this will inform the way that we will work with others.
We will explore how we work relationally with our clients in their loss which includes a reinvention and re-connection to what has been lost. From Aideens’ experience with people who are bereaved and her own bereavements, clients need to be listened to by someone whose mind has examined their own experience of loss and are able to bear witness to the multiple subjective meanings of the client’s experience. We will also look at some of the challenges in the work, how people may get stuck in their grief, and how we hold the frame.
This two-part workshop will focus mainly on the psychotherapy field, although other fields may find the discussion of interest.
