Resolving Grief with Impact Therapy


Trainer: Danie Beaulieu, Ph.D.

Death, disease, suffering, losses are themes that we would rather avoid. However, as they are part of life, therapists are often confronted to help clients deal with these difficult issues. This workshop, based on the principles of Impact Therapy, offers numerous simple and concrete tools to face different stages of grief in young and old. Organized in four different steps, from how to help those dying or facing a difficult challenge, then how to announce a death, how to intervene in short terms and in long terms, this workshop will surely add a plethora of new empowering tools to every clinician and caregiver. A wide variety of examples, demonstrations and exercises awaits the participant in this very dynamic and moving workshop.
