Grief Therapy - 24-25 Feb 2022 - (Student Discounts Available)

Your Speaker

Joseph John is our leader through these sometimes uncharted waters. Armed with 40 years of counselling experience, he will share through case studies, role plays and honest sharing how to practise the art and skills of grief counselling.

Course Brief

Grief Therapy has become key in today’s world. With its relentless pace and rate of change, the world says, without emotion, “Hurry up, you gotta catch up, otherwise you’ll be left behind”. So we push ourselves along life’s highways always going faster. But we don’t know where we are going. And then we experience a slow down - a loss of someone close, a mother, an aunt or a brother or friend. It could also be the end of a relationship, or the parting of ways that foretells we have ended a phase in life and need to move on. And COVID-19 too. They all spell GRIEF - the absence of someone we love, the loss of job and predictability and then we bury it in ourselves. Handling grief is critical. We need to know how to handle it ourselves before we can help others as counsellors or therapists. What are some useful theories? How do we approach grief given that we will all experience it? What is there to learn? Am I open to change? Who should I turn to? Will I allow myself to feel the pain, or do I just numb it?
