Loss and Growth: The Grief Spiral - Paperback
by Elissa Bishop-Becker (Author)
Everyone faces grief at one point or another in her or his life. But how to handle it? Here, Elissa Bishop-Becker draws on her own experience to help others with an effective approach known as Transformative Bereavement. Walking the reader through the four stages -- Loss, Return, Reconnection, and Creation -- she draws on stories from her clients, friends, and contacts to explain the process of recovery from grief. ""The Grief Spiral changed the way I think about bereavement. As a professor in the College of William & Mary counseling program, I would recommend this book to all of my students as a supplementary text and to all my friends as a guide to dealing with life's many changes. It is full of wisdom and experience, a must for anyone who is alive!"" -Prof. Charles F. Gressard, Ph.D., Chair Emeritus of the National Board for Certified Counselors
Author Biography
Elissa Bishop-Becker's professional journey began with her own grief journey. After experiencing multiple losses, she returned to school and received her M.Ed. (Master of Education) degree from the College of William and Mary in 2000. Along with that piece of paper came a new direction and meaning for her life. Elissa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a nationally recognized expert in the field of grief and loss, and the co-founder of the Center for Transformative Counseling in Key West, Florida. Among her notable accomplishments are being chosen as the Sophia Fahs Lecturer of 2005 by the Liberal Religious Educators Association, working with the Red Cross to counsel hurricane survivors, and teaching a course on her theory of bereavement as an Adjunct Instructor at Florida Keys Community College. Elissa is also a published poet; devoted wife, mother, and grandmother; spiritual seeker; community and political activist; and explorer of all life puts in her path. The only places you're not likely to find her are in the garden or behind an ironing board. What she is most proud of is having guided many grieving clients through the process, helping them find meaning and fulfillment in their new world.
