Description

Journeying through the Canyon of Why

Early in my career I met individuals and families who had experienced loss from profound and complicated causes of deaths including suicide, homicide, accidental and ambiguous losses. Most of them had already tried to get help from one or more grief support resources in the community without success. As both a Certified Thanatologist and a Forensic Suicidologist, I was concerned for the lack of understanding these clients were experiencing.

I have spent the last thirty years befriending this grief process and learning the techniques that clients find helpful. Working with grief responses following both man-made and natural causes of death has equipped me to offer a pathway for others to more effectively help the newly bereaved recover quicker.

In this recording, I will share what has helped clients, both in the United States and internationally to heal from that universal experience we refer to as sudden and traumatic loss. I will help you fill your therapeutic backpack with essential clinical strategies you can implement that will guide you and your clients safely through the journey of complicated grief.
