With Janina Fisher, Ph.D.
Hello,
What could you do with a new approach to processing grief?
As a species, we are dealing with so much grief, and more types of grief than ever before. The burden of our losses is heavy.
In the Western world especially, we are shaped by a pervasive cultural tendency is to bypass or avoid grief...or to become preoccupied with it, and never let it go. Neither of these approaches helps us to be in relationship with grief.
In Living with the Legacy of Loss, we will take a mindfulness-based somatic approach to grief and loss which:
- Takes advantage of the body's resources to achieve optimal levels of sadness - not too much or too little
- Increases resilience in the face of loss and increases our ability to tolerate grief
- Diminishes the effects of isolation and loneliness
- Understands grief as a whole-body experience
- Helps us ride the roller coaster of emotions from numb to excruciating...and emerge on the other side
Using a somatic approach, you will learn how to change your client's relationship with grief from one of intense, intrusive feelings, to embodied emotional experiences that are often beyond words. This gentle, mindful way of approaching the tenderest spots in our hearts brings completion and relief.
In four 2-hour sessions, we cover:
- The Effects of Grief and Loss
- Complicated versus Non-complicated Bereavement
- Riding the Waves
- Befriending Grief
We are living in a time of significant loss. Grief is a central issue in our lives, and that there is a deep need for processing it in our individual and collective bodies.
Join us inside Living with the Legacy of Loss to discover a new approach to the centuries-old challenge of grief.
Warmly,
Academy of Therapy Wisdom

HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL LEARN INSIDE:
Living with the Legacy of Loss
2-hour teaching Session 1
The Effects of Grief and Loss
In this session, we look at the acute and long-term effects of loss identified by research in an effort to understand how our approaches to grief work can address both the physiological and psychological responses to loss. We'll cover:
Immediate consequences of bereavement
How traditions of mourning and remembrance support resolution
Understanding the many effects of grief: guilt, numbing, relief, cognitive impairment, sadness, detachment
The role of self-compassion
The role of social support and fellow mourners
Recorded Webinar II
Complicated versus Non-complicated Bereavement
In our second session, we address the causes of complicated bereavement versus the factors that lead to adaptation and resilience in the context of loss. We'll discuss how the therapist can support clients in moving through grief in these ways:
Avoidance versus rumination
Dysregulation and its consequences
Boundaries versus self-disclosure during bereavement
Helping clients learn how to grieve
Balancing pain and comfort
2-hour teaching Session 3
Riding the Waves
In session 3, we learn about various ways clients can learn to notice, observe, and track the emotions of grief. By adopting a mindfulness approach, grief becomes less frightening and overwhelming, making it easier to resolve. This webinar includes:
How the emotional experience of grief differs from other emotions
Developing a mindful relationship to the grief
Learning to observe rather than be overwhelmed by it
Noticing grief as waves of emotion: how emotion gets stuck
Tracking the physical sensations in waves of grief
"Riding the waves" of grief
2-hour teaching Session 4
Befriending Grief
In this final session, we work with the instinctual tendencies to stay connected to those we have lost, no matter at what cost. We can learn to accept and befriend grief, develop a friendly relationship to our memories of lost loved ones, and even let our feelings about them change and grow over the years.
Mindful noticing rather than verbal description of emotional experience
Breathing through each wave of grief
Learning how to let go of pain
Acceptance
Moving on without guilt or shame
