Treating Grief: An Integrative, Post-modern Approach to Help

Title:
Treating Grief: An Integrative, Post-modern Approach to Helping Clients Manage Loss
Presenter: Leslie Gura
Description:
Grief was recognized for the first time with the publication of the DSM-5-TR in 2022. But though the diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder marks recognition of the impact of grief in peoples’ lives, the definition is limited to the loss of a close other person, in combination with a number of symptoms that must be present for more than 12 months after the loss. Other types of grief are still required to be addressed via existing diagnoses such as major depressive disorder or adjustment disorder. Yet the descriptions under the DSM-05-TR definition of Prolonged Grief Disorder can easily apply to those suffering from loss—whether it is a result of the death or any type of life change. How therapists work with these clients is crucial to a recovery in which they can find serenity, meaning, and, ultimately, growth. In this presentation, Leslie Gura, a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina, shares methods of empathizing, validating and working with clients presenting with any type of grief in a manner that integrates post-modern methodologies common not just to grief, but with co-morbidities including anxiety, depression and trauma. Gura often deploys combinations of narrative, trauma, sensorimotor psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral techniques in his work with patients presenting with grief.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand definitions of grief, including the DSM-5-TR’s diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder, while also recognizing the ways other types of non-loss grief have commonality with the symptoms identified in Prolonged Grief Disorder.
  • Be equipped to use simple narrative techniques to help clients coping with grief learn to express the feelings that often are locked inside.
  • Work with clients who present with grief using post-modern approaches that help them gain self-insight in the wake of whatever loss they are grieving.
