Grief and it’s Sister, Trauma: Looking at the Intersections of Loss and Trauma
Wednesday July 26th, 2023 | 6pm-7:30pm CST
with Gina Moffa, LCSW
Conference Description:
Grief and it’s Sister, Trauma: Looking at the Intersections of Loss and Trauma
For this conversation, we will be looking closer at grief, as well as its relationship to trauma. This includes the key similarities/differences between grief and trauma, and how the brain and nervous system comes into play. This will also really hone in on how, as clinicians, we can come to see grief clearer as a full body experience, including how grief affects the body, and treat those who have faced loss that feels traumatizing even if it is not categorized as a traumatic loss.
Learning Objectives:
- Understanding more about trauma, grief, and their relationship with our nervous system
- Looking closer at what can make loss “traumatizing” outside of how research has formerly categorized traumatic loss
- “Trauma-Informed Care” for grief, and looking deeper at what that really means
