Introduction

When our clients experience pain, loss, and grief, we may not always know the “right” things to do or say. However, these are the times when our clients may need us the most. Therefore, having the skills to work with our clients through their pain and loss is crucial for us as clinicians.

Come away from this seminar with your toolbox full of ways to demonstrate support for our patients and clients in a way that really makes a difference for them, and ultimately work with them towards peace and empowerment.

What you’ll learn

At the end of this online seminar, you will have:

• Learned the common trajectories of mourning and how they may show up in our patients and clients.
• Gained new and innovative techniques through the use of verbal language, body language, and eye contact to support patients and clients experiencing pain and loss.
• Mastered how to empathize, validate, and reframe when helping patients and clients move through their experiences of pain and loss in ways not done before.

Who is this for?

This course is for any clinician invested in learning new or honing existing skills to be able to use in dynamic ways to support their patients and clients and to end suffering.
