Grief and Its Complications: Meaning Crises in the Landscape of Loss

Introduction

In the course of counselling, you may come across clients who experienced unwelcome transitions in life or lost their loved ones through death. This training will equip you with the fundamental understanding of grief and loss as a meaning crisis from the meaning reconstruction perspective, as well as how to assess grievers’ adaptation and needs for support in the aftermath. Specific attention would be given to various high-risk profiles and warning signs from the dimensions of the loss event, the underlying attachment, and the sense of self that indicate possible complications in grief.
