About the event

Why does this Training Exist?


Sitting with Grief can feel overwhelming. We have chosen a "helping" profession and yet, it can feel as though there isn't much "helping" or "fixing" when it comes to grief. I hear from many that they don't feel comfortable in this realm, yet I believe each one of us has the capacity to grow in our ability to be present for grief.


As clinicians, we may be able to offer a myriad of trauma interventions, such as IFS, EMDR, Somatic work, etc., and yet, once our clients process the traumas, they are then left with the grief of the experience--the grief for what was, and the grief for what may never be.


Helping clinicians grow in their ability to sit with our clients in grief is one of my greatest passions. To allow our clients to not be ok, to trust that grief is our biological wisdom to navigate what we cannot fix nor control, and to allow for immense pain without turning away from it may be among the greatest gifts we have to offer each other as humans. Our clients deserve clinicians who can be with them on this level, and this training is designed to help you understand that you can do this, even if it's hard and uncomfortable.
