Loss, and the subsequent grieving process, is perhaps the most universal psychological experience on the planet. And yet it is still a journey that frightens and confuses many of us, both as clinicians and as grievers ourselves. In this presentation, Ashley normalizes the healthy grieving process (hint: it’s not "getting over it" or "achieving closure").
Going beyond the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross stages of death and dying, Ashley will present the theory and practice of the "transcending loss" model, a transformative paradigm for understanding grief as a lifelong practice of integration and meaning-making. Ashley will also discuss concrete interventions to help assist those grieving a loss and will demonstrate how over time, loss can be a transformational springboard for new growth.
