Left to sort through the resulting grief that’s seldomly validated by society, they can find themselves in your office looking to make sense of it all and find a way forward. In this session, you’ll view expert Dr. Julie Bindeman as she shows you how you can validate these clients’ losses and help them cope with practical strategies you can start using immediately in your practice.
