A Guide to Embodied Grief For Providers

How do you hold space for a client’s grief when it bumps up against the pain of your own unresolved grief? Your role as a practitioner is to the be container for your client and hold all the complicated and intense emotions that are part of grieving. However, holding space for their profound grief can reawaken your own experiences and coping strategies around loss. This will impact the work you are doing with your client. If you sometimes find yourself at a loss for how to authentically show up for the bereaved parents you encounter in your work, this workshop is for you.

In this 90-minute interactive workshop you will:

  • Learn about the many dimensions of grief

  • Explore your grieving style

  • Get curious about unresolved grief in your own life

  • Understand how to work with grief somatically for yourself and your clients

  • Learn foundational tools that will help build your capacity to sit with your own grief and show up authentically for your client’s grieving

  • The journey of love, loss and life after loss looks different for everyone. Return to Zero: HOPE will be hosting a workshop series designed to provide supportive spaces for the diversity of our lived realities that come with our individual pregnancy and infant loss experiences. Our hope is to provide helpful resources and tools that encourage holistic healing. These workshops will uniquely support parents and providers through a trauma informed, resilience-focused, somatic approach.

    These workshops will be interactive. There will be time to share, time to write and reflect, and in some sessions opportunity more movement. Please have available a water bottle, paper and pencil, and a quiet space.

    Consider joining a workshop if: it is true to your lived experience; you want to better understand a topic to support loved ones; it piques your interest, and/or it feels like it might be supportive to where you are on your journey. All are welcome.
