Course Description:
Grief can be one of the greatest life stressor’s we face. Grief can be complicated, a shock to our system, and keep us stuck. Moving forward and healing from grief is challenging at the least and what seems impossible for some. Recent research on the effects of grief on our physiology, biology, and psychology can help us better understand how to support and guide individuals through the healing process. In this session we will explore what science tells us about grief in the brain, on our immune system, and on adjusting to this life change. How does the mind adapt to grief? How can we use cognitive, biology, somatic, and parts work to move forward and adjust to loss? What mental processes are helpful? Those we love are integrated into our sense of self. When we lose someone dear to us, we naturally feel a loss of self. We will explore both the science of grief and go through practices that help us reduce the functional impairment of grief and move forward essentially remapping our nervous system to a new sense of self.
