Description

Many people are left speechless when death and loss tears their world apart. And when you have clients grieving so intensely that words won’t come, being creative isn’t an option… it’s a necessity. In this can’t miss recording, grief expert and Fellow in Thanatology Diana Sebzda, LPC, will show you how you can use transformative expressive arts interventions with clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds and abilities. Simple to add to your toolbox and implement in sessions, you’ll leave with creative techniques to give your clients a place to hold their pain, externalize their grief, and express emotion and love in ways that other techniques simply can’t replicate.
