This 2-hour experiential workshop for counselors invites participants to explore how they personally encounter suicide and grief in the therapy room. While clinical training often emphasizes assessment and intervention, this workshop centers the therapist’s internal experience and how it shapes presence, connection, and therapeutic choice. Through guided self-reflection and discussion, participants will examine their own reactions, assumptions, and impulses to ease suffering, and consider how these responses influence the space they create with clients. Rather than eliminating discomfort, the workshop reframes it as a meaningful resource for empathy, attunement, and ethical practice. This workshop qualifies for 2 CEs in suicide prevention.
