[Audio] IC19 Workshop 39 – Life is a Permanent Grief – Teresa Garcia-Sanchez, MA

Description:

Loved ones leave us, couples and friends separate, we suffer physical changes as we grow up during adolescence and as we grow old, work changes happen, as well as our mood, which evolves throughout our lives.

Knowing how to manage all these emotions is not always easy, that is the reason why people usually go to a therapist asking for help, especially when a relative has died or there is a very serious loss. However, being able to have a good attitude towards the permanent change that living means is something that can be trained.

The use of Ericksonian psychotherapy, hypnosis and conversational hypnosis facilitates a flexible attitude towards life changes, recovering from difficult moments promptly and allowing clients to be open to new opportunities that life brings. Because … the sun rises after the storm, and it does not have to catch you hidden under the umbrella of the sadness!

Educational Objectives:

1. Discuss when symptoms are covering grief.
2. Identify grief in “small losses” (moving to a new house, a habit, loss of a pet) as well as in serious separations or passing.
3. Describe possible psychotherapeutic treatment and hypnotic intervention.
