NEFESH: The International Network of Orthodox Mental Health Professionals

Working with Grief and Loss

Tuesday, October 12, 2021, 10:00 AM EDT
$40.00 Member Price:  $40.00 Ricki Bernstein

Grief is one of the most uncomfortable, powerful emotions we meet as therapists. It also confronts us with our own losses (no matter how small), and our own unresolved grief. This online workshop will teach the skills and attitude  needed in order to tolerate, contain and remain present with diverse responses to loss. We will cover what our clients need, as well as our own responses to raw grief.

Didactic teaching will be followed by

a) analysis of videotaped sessions showing different types of grief

b) experiential practice in dyads to develop our own affective capacity
