Course: Treating Grief & Shame in Clinical Practice

Name: Treating Grief and Shame in Clinical Practice
Price: 80.00 USD
Availability: InStock
Rating: 92 (1 reviews)

Overview

Grief and shame are complex emotions that often intertwine and may be mistaken for anxiety or depression. On top of that, the clinical definition of grief is frequently updated, and its distinction from depression and other mental health conditions remains a topic of debate.

Such complications present challenges when trying to pinpoint and address the quiet, non-verbal expressions of grief and accompanying shame. Similar to trauma cases, understanding how the nervous system reacts to grief and underlying core shame can aid in guiding individuals through their loss.

In this hands-on workshop, Dr. Ashely will unravel how the application of therapeutic empathy techniques can foster the grieving process.

She will also outline methods for detecting the subtle indications of unexpressed grief and core shame. Additionally, she will delve into the creation of person-centered, right-brain, relational techniques designed to aid clients in fully processing their losses and liberating themselves from core shame.
