Genevieve takes a new approach to grief therapy, where they don’t share their bereavement story right away. How do you think your reaction to each character would have been different if you had known the specifics of their loss first?
As a retired professional mental health therapist I did not find her approach to grief therapy to be new. It wouldn’t have changed anything for me if I had known the specifics of their loss first.
I think it helped to get a small bit of background about each other.
I’m not familiar with counseling for grief therapy and am wondering if you could elaborate on which part wasn’t new: small group therapy with members pre-selected and/or starting with a happy memory. And as a retired mental health therapist, knowing at the end that Genevieve did know each character’s specific loss, would you have done anything differently such as starting with a different group question to break the ice.

None of the therapy techniques she used were new. The question Geneieve used to break the ice seemed fine to me. Thank you for asking.
