Ambiguous Loss: Its Meaning and Application

 

Description:

Everyone experiences ambiguous loss if only from breaking up with someone, or having aging parents or kids leaving home. As we learn from the people who must cope with the more catastrophic situations of ambiguous loss, we learn how to tolerate the ambiguity in our more common losses in everyday life. This on your own, self-paced, professional development training is open to everyone, and will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to successfully use and understand Ambiguous Loss theory in your life and work.
