Death & Explaining The Grieving Process to a Client with an Intellectual Impairment
Manage episode 297998366 series 2867856
Welcome to a brand new season of The Playful Psychologist podcast! I am so excited to be sharing some new content with you guys and have some great special guests lined up for this season!
In this weeks episode, I explore grief and how to explain the death of a loved one to someone who has an intellectual impairment. In this episode, I discuss:
- How to explain the death of a loved one to your client/family member
- Why it is so important to use 'concrete terms' and what that means
- How to best use visuals to explain this to clients (where appropriate)
- What the grieving process may look like for someone with an intellectual impairment
At the end of this episode, I spoke about a great workbook that is designed for children, but can be adapted to use with adults. It is called 'when someone special dies.' I have linked it here:
