She explains how unconditional love and deep grief can reshape the way support is offered to clients and the community.
In this episode, Denise describes grounded ways to support grieving clients without rushing past emotion, offering language and perspective that helps clients feel seen and safe. She explains how presence can be more helpful than advice, and she offers reminders for staying steady when grief feels heavy in the room. Denise reinforces how imagery can support healing and connection during loss, giving practitioners a practical way to bring comfort and hope into sessions.
Denise also highlights how imagery work can support self-awareness and emotional healing, especially when the practitioner leads with calm clarity and a steady voice. She provides strategies for maintaining a professional approach rooted in compassion and clear boundaries, including knowing limits, staying grounded in professionalism, and continuing to grow. She also suggests creating a practical networking habit of following up immediately when a referral comes in, putting the call on the schedule, and even setting a phone alarm to make sure the connection happens.
Denise’s blend of compassion and clarity makes this an episode you will not want to miss. Take the next step in your journey toward success. Let’s grow and succeed together
