About this workshop
Many non-death losses are either ongoing in nature, leading to significant anxiety and exhaustion, or they are ambiguous in their orientation, making it difficult to identify what has been lost and how to support people in these unique loss experiences.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is especially useful for these types of loss experiences, especially in providing a sustainable foundation of support when these loss experiences (and the grief that accompanies them) have a protracted course. CFT is also very helpful in addressing grief that is accompanied by shame, disenfranchisement, and exhaustion, which is a common presence in grief that occurs as a result of non-death loss experiences.
This workshop will identify and describe specific types of non-death loss and the unique grief that accompanies them. The attention will then turn to the application of the principles of CFT to suggest sustainable ways to support individuals with these types of losses.
