Breakthrough
Workshops are a one-day Intensive focusing on the issues
of grief and loss. The experience
of loss can take many different forms; such as, loss due to terminal illness and/or death, loss of job and/or financial resources,
loss of home and community… loss has no boundaries and does affect everyone. As a result, physical as well as psychological
illness can manifest. A few of the disorders that are often prevalent as a result of loss are depression, dissociation, anxiety,
and/or panic disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. In the workshop, we come together as a group
and work experientially on past loss, pain and grief and any other unresolved issues that we call “unfinished business.” Much bonding occurs
within the group that allows us to “speak our pain” and be witness to the pain of others. There is some didactic
teaching and art interpretation. The goal is to let go of a piece of unfinished business and leave the workshop feeling a
sense of inner peace. The participant will learn tools for coping and dealing with trauma in a more effective way. This workshop
is modeled after the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross externalization workshops. Her work was based on the concept of unconditional love
and acceptance of self and others. The model of externalization was designed to help individuals transition through their
own pain and loss in order to live life more fully. The workshop is held in a safe environment to allow the
participants freedom to let go of pain. The work is confidential and individual work is encouraged.
