This two-day grief counselling training workshop offers an in-depth training in several techniques, nesting them both within the therapy relationship and in the context of current theories and research that provide flexible frameworks for intervention. The first day focuses on the ways in which our encounters with loss are deeply attachment informed. It takes a close look at our need for secure bases to start our journey of meaning reconstruction. It also invites us, as helping professionals, to consider how to be a secure base for our service recipients and to have a closer look at the challenge of separation. The second day places the work of secure base in the context of our lifeline. It invites us to reflect on how attachment, bonding and loss play a role in the stories of our lives, as well as how we can have a meaning-oriented dialogue that is both caring and daring.
