Overview
This Self-Paced Course will mainly use Chairwork, which involves talking to our loved one or lost part of self. We will dialogue with them and seek resolution, all in the context of guided meditation.
In addition to chairwork, this course will draw on
- Gestalt – giving voice to all that is unresolved in the here and now
- Existential Psychotherapy – concerned with the human condition and the inevitability of death in life
- Attachment Theory (Bowlby)
- Metacognitive Therapy – “thinking about thinking”; being able to recognize your thoughts and understand their source
- Ideal Parent Figure Protocol (Brown & Elliott)
- Stages of Grief (Kübler-Ross) – denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance and hope.
We will also use the Buddhist compassion meditation of “tong len” to further integrate and metabolize our grief. This helps us see grief is part of our shared humanity
You will be encouraged to listen to the guided meditations with your practice pod, however there will be no further homework in this course.
So it is with grief where, if all goes well, can come a strengthening of the inner world, of memory and definition. – John Bowlby
Unresolved loss is an important area assessed on the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). According to John Bowlby, the creator of Attachment Theory, grief and mourning can disrupt development and even lead to long lasting psychological maladie.
