How do you work with clients with grief?
Grief is diverse and complicated. I approach these individuals as if I am with them through the entire process. I provide empathy, positive regard, and patience in understanding that the process requires time and connection with one's self for healing to begin. I approach with the purpose to validate their pain and help transform that pain into purpose to life moving forward.
