Grief and loss impacts all of us. As therapists, we are often working with clients who are going through grief and loss issues, and it can be challenging to know how to best support grieving clients. Some clients gravitate towards the more expressive and creative therapeutic work in navigating complex issues. Using both practical application and case study we will explore how bibliotherapy, creative activities, and play can support not only our clients but also our own healing work. Join Dr. Dana Wyss in a dive into this topic to explore creative ways to support our clients and ourselves.
