Therapy Session Masterclass (TSM) Series: Working Together: A Suicide Loss Survivor and Her Grief Therapist: Video Course

The loss of a child to suicide can be devastating, and healing sometimes requires the support of a skilled mental health professional. At this interactive webinar, a mother who lost her young adult son to suicide and her grief therapist, with whom she worked for several years, will together highlight the journey through her mourning process.

Full course information

Dr John Jordan, acclaimed author of Attachment informed grief therapy: The clinician’s guide to foundations and applications and Grief after suicide: Understanding the consequences and caring for the survivors, will briefly provide a framework for understanding the therapeutic tasks at hand, and the client will describe in her own words (through dialogue and video recordings), what was helpful (and not helpful) about the therapy process. She will also discuss some of the changes in her grief that occurred over the course of her sessions.

Course objectives:

  • Identify aspects of grief that are different and / or more intense after a suicide
  • Better understand the experience of a person bereaved by suicide as a client in grief therapy
  • Describe the role of the therapeutic alliance in working with suicide loss survivors

The seminar is part of our newly launched Therapy Session Masterclass (TSM) Series and follows the format described below.

Therapy Session Masterclass (TSM) Series

“What would you have said to the client in this situation?” is a question that delegates often ask the speaker when attending training sessions hosted at nscience. While, as therapists, we can learn a lot from exposition and case illustrations, our learning can be significantly enhanced if we were to have the opportunity to watch senior clinicians and experts in their therapy sessions with clients – we can observe how they manage the narrative, how they respond to complex situations, what overall approach they follow and their individual format for therapeutic interactions.

With this approach in mind, we’ve launched the Therapy Session Masterclass (TSM) Series – a regular programme of evening sessions (each of which can be individually attended as a stand-alone event), moderated and led by Dr Jan McGregor Hepburn, where we will be inviting leading experts in Psychotherapy & Counselling – to let us observe them in clinical settings. Each of the sessions will have dedicated time for a demo therapy session (either video recorded or a live role-play), which will be followed by moderated interactions with delegates. Not only will delegates have the opportunity to see the invited experts in clinical settings but will also have a chance to quiz the expert on their choice of therapy methods.

As participants, we can also bring our own brief case vignettes that may be related to the topic at hand. A selection of these will be discussed by the invited expert.
