Online via zoom – offered nationally across 4 half-days

Thur 9 & Fri 10 and Thur 16 & Fri 17 SEPT 2021

Presenter: Dr Greg Roberts

This 2 day existentially-informed workshop may be taken as stand-alone CPD or as part of an accreditation pathway*

Certain types of loss – violent, sudden, preventable, untimely, multiple – are more likely to be experienced as traumatic, leaving an individual feeling overwhelmed emotionally, cognitively and physically. Yet the experience of trauma in these cases is not always a given. It is equally true that all losses have the capacity to overwhelm, shock and shatter. Indeed, it has been suggested that each grief experience contains trauma and each traumatic experience contains grief.

Drawing on existential frames of reference, this workshop will engage you with a unique blend of grief and trauma theory, experiential learning and opportunities to explore effective and embodied ways of working with clients living with grief and trauma.
