Deze tweedaagse workshop rouwverwerking zal in de engelse taal worden gegeven.

In life we experience many losses and disappointments. Some losses are great, throwing shadows over everything we do. The death of a loved one, or end of a long term relationship can leave us feeling adrift and miserable. They disrupt the foundations of identity and security. Healing from such loss is often the work of therapy. It is a process which requires time and personal honesty. Loss can seem like a fault-line in our lives, something to be 'got through' as quickly and painlessly as possible, but Other-Centred Approach offers a rather more positive view of such processes, drawn from Buddhist psychology. Losses create disruption to the status quo and so are not only a source of sadness but also of opportunity. Shaking us out of complacency, they provide space for spiritual maturation if we can have the courage to take it. This workshop, which provides a taster for a future Foundation Certificate in Working with Grief and Loss, will explore the particular perspectives which Other-Centred Therapy offer in this field.

Topics covered may include:

- Basic principles of an other-centred approach

- Process models of grief in the context of other-centred work

- Viewing grief as an opportunity (the Buddhist view of affliction as the motivating force for spiritual growth) and the conditions which transform the experience of grieving into something growth promoting

- Methodology: Other-centred models; amplification and containment; reality and construct; life review and biographical methods

- The role of ritual in the grief process

 

Teaching methods: theoretical inputs, handouts, exercises in pairs and small groups, creative work, whole group discussion.

Groupsize: minimum 12 and maximum 25 persons.

Date: 21 en 22 April 2010 in Centrum Aquamarijn, Eindhoven. 

Tijd: van 10.00 to 17.00 uur.
