About this workshop
This workshop will weave together current research and practice related to loss and grief with the principles and practice of CFT, including material that will explore personal as well as collective experiences and responses to loss. An emphasis will be on differentiating a model of companioning grief versus an interventionist model of treating pathology, and the role of therapist self-practice as a way to cultivate the compassionate base that forms the heart of grief therapy.
