Description

A line forever between what was and what will be, those impacted by medical trauma and chronic illnesses feel every loss. Struck with a sudden or gradual forfeiture of abilities, independence, self-esteem, freedom, comfort, hope and so much more, the grief of what has been taken from them can make a path forward seem unattainable. In this timely session, Dr. Sacha McBain will show you how clinicians can work with the grief that often follows medical trauma, help clients cope with and adapt to their losses, and support them as they shape a new sense of identity and purpose for themselves.
