Description:

 

Grief after the sudden or violent death of a loved one can be complicated, prolonged, and resistant to the usual therapy interventions. Furthermore unresolved trauma and grief can lead to major depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders. This workshop will present evidenced-based tools and hypnosis techniques that treat traumatic grief briefly, compassionately, and effectively. Participants will learn neuroscience implications for treating traumatic grief, and new diagnostic categories for trauma and grief related adjustment disorders proposed for the DSM-5. Video demonstrations of a homicide and suicide survivors, a war veteran, and tornado survivor will be included so therapists learn how to immediately apply the model in their practices.

Educational Objectives:

 

1. Describe 2 recent research discoveries from the science of loss.

2. List 4 criteria of the proposed diagnosis of Bereavement Related Adjustment Disorder.

3. Discuss 2 empirically validated models for treating traumatic grief.

4. Explain neuroscience findings regarding traumatic memory and the implications for treatment of trauma and grief.
