Utilization of EMDR therapy with grief and mourning

The death of a loved one can be a time of unparalleled distress and the adaptation to the loss can be very challenging. Even when uncomplicated, bereavement can result in significant psychological, behavioral, social, physical, and economic consequences. It is important for therapists to be knowledgeable about theoretical frameworks and effective treatment methodologies to alleviate pain, reduce dysfunction, work through conflicts, and promote adaptation. This workshop offers a framework for understanding grief and mourning, how the trauma of the loss and attachment issues can complicate grief, and how utilization of EMDR therapy can be a particularly potent and efficacious treatment.
