In the course of counselling, you may come across clients who struggle with yearning for their deceased loved one or some forms of unfinished business that remain unaddressed after separation through death. This training will introduce a tripartite model based on the meaning reconstruction framework and specifically look into grief and loss from an attachment-informed perspective. This will also equip you with the relevant meaning-oriented techniques to enable clients to review their disrupted bond and realign their positioning with the deceased in the aftermath of loss.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
-
To conceptualize the impacts of separation on grievers from the attachment perspective
-
To identify dimensions of insecure attachment and unfinished business that complicate the post-separation adjustment
-
To implement meaning-oriented techniques to re-establish grievers’ attachment security and reconstruct their bond with the deceased
GRIEF COUNSELLING TOPICS COVERED
-
Understanding grief and loss through attachment lens
-
Differentiation between continuing bond and maladaptive bondage
-
Guided conversation to examine the relationship history
-
Use of tree of legacy as a means for continuing bond
-
