| UNIT 5 | LOSS AND GRIEF The Need Our Answer Our Approach Our Materials Topics |
THE
NEED [Top]
| All of us have suffered loss and grief to one extent or another. Unfortunately, this is a grossly overlooked area with huge consequences . Losses can be a mate, freedom, death, a career, or any other important area or person in our life. It is an area where denial and delusion are very common with very damaging consequences. Non adjustment may go on for a lifetime and seriously hinder a person from becoming all he or she could be. This is one of the greatest overlooked personal areas because of our failure to recognize that we may not as much in control as we thought we were. |
| Human beings are social creatures. They
need to know they are not alone and that others share the same types of
pain.
The give and take of the small group discussion is very
helpful
in identifying those areas hidden to us that need to be worked on.
Group members gain confidence when they see that they are not
alone in their struggles. They help each other see new ways
of
discovery and coping. By placing this unit in our curriculum, we address a vital area that might otherwise be overlooked. Through discovery, group members will come to appreciate the insights and healing that come from addressing areas that are so easily pushed into the background and denied. |
| All of our units emphasize the
rich interaction of the small-group format.
The answers group members need to have will come mostly from each other
.
Having group members talk a lot is the fastest way to getting
into
their hearts and minds. Once group members level with one
another, they help each other in a safe environment. The structured lessons usually have two leaders called facilitators and co-facilitators. It is their job to keep the discussion going and on track. The training of these leaders is one of the key activities of Florida Integrity Training. Our training sessions show the art and science of being effective in this area. For more information on our training .CLICK HERE FOR TRAINING SCHEDULE. |
