The burden of loss is heavy for so many people right now. How can we help them bear it?

Survivors of loss often tell us that they feel misunderstood, unmet, or even irritated by how others respond to their grief. They wish others could understand that the question, “How are you doing?” can feel threatening when they are overwhelmed.

In this powerful one-hour webinar, you will:

    • Uncover the profound dual nature of attachment as a gateway to both safety and vulnerability so you can start to comprehend why grief hits so hard and unexpectedly, transforming your approach to grief therapy
    • Expand your understanding of grief beyond just sadness so you can better recognize and validate the myriad of emotions your clients may be experiencing and provide them more comprehensive and compassionate care
    • Join Janina in asserting a SIXTH stage of grief so you can provide your clients a more thorough guide to their grief journey, allowing them to comprehend and embrace their emotions more completely
    • Learn about the subtle transition from healthy grief to debilitating depression so you are equipped to spot early signs and intervene effectively
    • Gain insight into the neural dimensions of grief so you can demystify grief and provide your clients with a more holistic understanding of their experiences (for example: the same part of the brain that gets activated when we’re with loved ones is the same part of the brain that is activated with complicated bereavement)
  •  
    • Learn how to build up strong emotional muscles for feeling grief so you can enable your clients to cope more effectively, accelerating their healing process and restoring their sense of self
