Dr. Hedtke always gave the group 100 precent of her passion for the topic. We focused on group counseling skills for two of the days which will be vitally important at the community counseling center where I work. Thank you for bringing your skill and compassion to us.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of the material and discussions today and am excited to apply it to both my personal and professional lives.
She was fantastic and had a relatable presentation style.
A Specialized Approach to Grief Work
For over a century, conventional psychology has emphasized the emotional severing of relationships—insisting that the bereaved “let go” or find “closure.” This outdated thinking often creates distress rather than providing comfort.
Lorraine Hedtke’s individualized training guides you in a rediscovery of the bonds between the dead and the living. By focusing on “remembering” rather than “saying goodbye,” you will learn to help your clients find sources of strength and guidance from their loved ones, helping them put one foot in front of the other with the stories of those they have lost alongside them.
