The pandemic has served as a reminder that we never know what’s around the bend. I was fourteen when both of my parents got cancer at the same time. My mother died when I was eighteen and my father died when I was twenty-five. Life was hard after that. I felt very alone in the world and unsure of my purpose. But through it all I wrote -- writing had always been my outlet and eventually it became my salvation. As a therapist I’ve found it to be one of the most powerful tools for working with grieving clients. In this session, I will share narrative exercises you can use to cultivate self-compassionate, facilitate emotional expression, and help clients find peace and connection in times of uncertainty and crisis.
