Audio Books →The Grieving Therapist Caring for Yourself and Your Clients When It Feels Like the End of the World [Audiobook]

A witty and compassionate field guide to the 10 realms of grief-and how to navigate them yourself and with clients. How do you practice good therapy when it's the end of the world as we know it...and no one feels fine? The planet is burning, friends and family are falling to cults and QAnon, and we're all living through the collective trauma of a global pandemic. Among therapists and healers, burnout is rampant; hopelessness and despair are, too. In The Grieving Therapist, psychotherapists Larisa Garski, LMFT, and Justine Mastin, LMFT, give voice to the difficulties of therapising in today's world-and offer a grief-informed framework for taking care of yourself as you take care of others. Informed by narrative, internal family systems, fanfic, and trauma-sensitive therapy, Garski and Mastin examine what it means to be a therapist at the end of the world (or what feels like it). They break down 10 realms of grief that are critical to understand and work with today, but likely weren't taught to you in therapy school. With humor, compassion, irreverence, and more than a little whimsy, The Grieving Therapist shows you how to show up for yourself, and your clients-in your own full humanity, amidst it all.
