This seminar is a rare opportunity to spend the day with David Kessler, a best-selling author and internationally known grief and healing expert who has co-authored books and worked with the groundbreaking Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and the legendary Louise Hay. David returns to Australia with his remarkable, high energy workshop that provides a new look at the subject of grief and loss.

Mixing compassion, understanding, and the presenter’s unequalled depth of experience, this workshop will focus on presenting new strategies for coping and resilience. The emphasis will be on the techniques you can use when working with clients who have been through heartbreaking events such as breakups, divorce, betrayal, miscarriage, infertility or natural disasters, as well as for those left behind after a death. With the focus on topics such as responding to sadness, dealing with betrayal, coping with isolation, healing grief and complicated grief, and grief and children, this course will provide practical strategies, wisdom and insight to help those shattered by loss. Attendees will learn how they can assist clients to reinvent their lives after experiencing a loss, and how they can help clients to put loss in perspective, while remembering and honouring what happened. Group interactions to practice interventions will be utilised throughout the day to practice the application of the skills discussed.
