Grief Behind Perspex: Navigating Trauma and Complexity in Bereavement

This video is part of our Perspectives on Bereavement and Grief series. To purchase the series in full, please click HERE.

In this presentation Tony Buckley looks at what happens when there are complications to the grieving process, and what happens when people get ‘stuck’ in their grief.

This might be for a variety of reasons, including those arising from Covid-19 restrictions, which may have denied relatives their usual and natural impulses, ways of being there, and responding to the needs of a loved one during critical illness, and subsequent loss. For some this may result in patterns of delayed, inhibited and complex grief.

Tony explores and shares a number of somatic focused skills, working towards completion of grief through gestures or actions which can resolve activation patterns of traumatic grief and bereavement complications expressed through the body.
