Coming Onsite Series
June 6-8, 2020
Barcelona, Spain
This 3-day series includes essential skills for addressing grief and its complications in a form that is coherent with the theoretical frame of meaning reconstruction. Building on a constructivist approach to both death and non-death losses, participants will learn a range of dialogical, reflective and narrative procedures for reconstructing a symbolic bond with the deceased, addressing unfinished business in the relationship, recognizing subtle and significant sources of both loss and growth in their own lives and those of their clients, and deepening work with implicit emotions and internal positions through expressive methods, body work, and creative writing. With ample opportunities to view actual videos of work with clients, witness live demonstrations, and receive coaching in a "hands on" practicum with selected methods, the goal is to offer participants a well-stocked toolkit of therapeutic techniques to use with a broad diversity of grieving clients.
This series has the recognition of Activity of Health Interest issued by the Department of Health of the Government of Catalunya (Registration No.: 9002E/87/2019) and is accredited with 5.0 credits by the Catalan Council for the Continuing Education of Health Professionals (09/025079-PG).

June 15-17, 2020
Madrid, Spain
This 3-day series includes the Core Courses addressing grief and its complications, providing a theoretical frame of grief therapy, and conveying practical and research informed strategies for facilitating meaning reconstruction. This phase of the training introduces the constructivist, narrative perspective, according to which grief requires an attempt to reaffirm or reconstruct a world of meaning that has been challenged by the loss. Participants learn trauma-informed interventions relevant to processing the event story of loss (e.g. Narrative Retelling), and attachment-informed interventions (e.g. Introducing the Loved One) related to accessing the back story of the relationship and reconstructing the symbolic bond.
