Grief Tending Essentials

If you're grieving a past or present loss, and you:

feel overwhelmed or confused by your emotions (or lack thereof);
are tired of being told how you're "supposed" to feel; and yet
you need support to understand what you feel and how to take care of yourself, then...

this course is for you.

_>>>>>+<<<<<

In our always-strong-and-happy culture,

grief is treated like

an illness to be cured

or an organized, stepwise process

that can be “completed” in prescribed steps.

The truth, though, is that

grief is a profoundly helpful

(though extremely painful)

adaptation to the loss

of someone or something you have loved.

***

What you need

instead of a program of

steps, stages, or “grief-work,”

is help to understand what grief is,

and how to work with and soothe its big emotions.

**That's why I created the Grief Tending Essentials course:**

To help you learn how to

tend to your grief

in a way that will allow you to

heal at your own pace,

in your own way.

*******

This course will help you learn:

how to identify, work with, and soothe the emotions that are a natural part of any grief process,
via a method that will help you whether you're in the throes of early grief or twenty years out from a loss,
whether you've lost a loved one, a job, a dream, or a relationship.

Learn a process that will help you bear and work with any emotion, as it arises...

Welcome to the

Grief TENDER Process:

Grief arises as a big blob of undifferentiated of emotions.

No one can figure out how to feel a mish-mash of emotions. It's confusing and overwhelming.

The Grief TENDER Process is a guide to help you tease apart individual strands of emotion from the blob.

When you explore your feelings one at a time, you’ll be able to discern what kinds of actions or soothing will help you bear and move through your grief.

The Grief TENDER Process is kind, gentle, and flexible, and will help you with any emotion, any time, anywhere.

This 3-hour course will teach you details about each aspect of the Grief TENDER Process:

T - Tenderly tune in to your feeling(s)
E - Explore your present environment
N - Notice what the feelings are like
D - Discern what the feelings are about
E - Express your needs and/or emotions
R - Reflect on what helped

The process will teach you how to read whether you need:

space for feeling,
space for comfort,
space for action, or
space for distraction.

I'm ready to get comfort

You'll learn:

How to deeply tend to your own particular grief.

You'll heal:

At your own pace; in your unique way.

You'll trust:

Your emotions and intuitions to lead you through.

Who's Candyce Ossefort-Russell?

I'm a therapist who's driven by a passion for therapy that creates meaning.

I became a therapist because I made my way through the darkness of my own traumatic loss, and emerged on the other side - with help from a therapist who went all the way through hell with me.

Meaning I have a fiery enthusiasm for mental, emotional, and spiritual health born out of my own travels through traumatic loss and my own therapy. AND lived experience with dealing with horrendous loss.

I have fierce faith in the grief process. And I'm passionate about helping grievers learn to trust and work with their deepest emotions.

Thus, the professional and personal knowledge I bring to you springs from both insatiable study and intense life experience.

When your teacher has both? Your whole self gets to learn.

***

Along with life-experience and years of my own therapy, I have decades of geeked-out professional study and fervent practice under my belt.

I’ve voraciously lived and studied psychological and spiritual perspectives of suffering, grief, and transformation for almost 30 years.

As a trainer I can clearly explain the underpinnings and in-depth applications of the theories I teach, even as I model acceptance, warmth, compassion, fearlessness, challenge, and engagement as I teach.

I’m so dedicated to high-quality teaching that I continually strive to expand and sharpen my skills—personally and professionally.

That means when you take any of my DEEP Center Training courses, you’ll always get the latest, my most trusted, and my best.

I want to take this course with Candyce!

Candyce has a knack for helping her students learn complex psychological concepts experientially and with “feelings on." I took her DEEP training almost a decade ago, and it continues to have a profound influence on how I practice.

Of all the therapist trainings I've done, none have been more relational, authentic, challenging, and transformative than Candyce's. Her passion and wisdom are evident in all aspects of her work. Her depth of understanding, and her ability to communicate complexities coalesce into what is always a deeply engaging learning experience. I can't recommend her highly enough.
