It’s a silent grief nobody talks about. Buried in shame, despair and fear; families living with addiction experience deep ambiguous and non-finite grief. Watching helplessly, the hopes they had for their futures dissolve before their eyes. Unrecognizable from the person they knew, families can even feel like their loved one has already died. In this session, view Litsa Williams therapist and author of What’s Your Grief? Lists to Help You through Any Loss as she shows you the specific strategies and techniques you need to counsel the families of those with addictions and design treatment plans that address the distinctively challenging emotional and relational aspects of these losses.
