Summary An in-depth guide to the counseling process and establishing a trusting relationship with clients, from a best selling author and grieving expert. Helping people in grief means being an empathetic companion: someone who allows grievers to be experts of their own experiences, who bears witness without judging, who gently encourages the expression of thoughts and feelings. But, even with this understanding, how a counselor "is" when they spend time with the griever also has a tremendous influence on their capacity to help. How is it possible to develop a relationship with the griever? How can empathy, respect, warmth, and genuineness be shown? Can listening, paraphrasing, clarifying, perception checking, informing, and other essential helping skills be improved? Whether for professional counselors or lay helpers, whether for those with years of experience or who are new to the work, this guide, based on by Dr. Wolfelt's companioning philosophy, will help readers be the most effective grief companions they can be.
