Description:

The Canyon of Why: A journey through

In my early years of my career, I encountered families and individuals who suffered from loss due to complex and grave causes, such as suicide or homicide. Many of these people had tried unsuccessfully to find help from local grief support services. As a Certified Thanatologist as well as a Forensic Suicidologist I was worried about the inability to understand what these clients were going through.

For the past thirty years I have worked with clients to learn the best techniques and befriend their grief process. Following both man and woman, I work with grief responses.-Made and natural causes of death have enabled me to provide a way for others to help the newly grieving people recover faster.

In this recording, I will share what has helped clients, both in the United States and internationally to heal from that universal experience we refer to as sudden and traumatic loss. I will show you how to fill your therapeutic bag with clinical strategies that can be used to help clients and you safely navigate the complicated grief journey.
