ABSTRACT
Implementing Envisioning Transitions in a group setting is especially beneficial as it allows opportunities for participants to share insights and engage in creative brainstorming. The Envisioning Transitions technique also provides support for having hard yet meaningful and healing, collaborative conversations with loved ones that potentially can lower resistance to moving, provide meaningful and compassionate support and help them feel more empowered to adapt and adjust to their new residence. In addition to words of advice and encouragement, he created Envisioning Transitions, a technique that proved dramatic in its effect on the attendees and the staff of the facility. To provide context, the authors also touched on types of losses, grieving, shattered assumptions, meaning making and re-storying losses before introducing the topic of having hard conversations.
