This qualitative study aimed to explore therapists' experiences of loss. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 6 therapists and the data were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three master themes emerged from the analysis: (a) the grieving therapist, (b) hindrances in grieving, and (c) the impact of loss on therapeutic work. Therapists talked about their grief and elaborated on how they coped with their bereavement. Hindrances in their grief were reported, emerging both from others' stance and from their own. Participants found that their experience of loss was related to both challenges and advancements in their therapeutic work.
本定性研究旨在探讨治疗师的失落体验。对 6 名治疗师进行了半结构化访谈，对数据进行了阐释现象学分析。分析得出三个主要主题：(a)悲伤的治疗师；(b)悲伤的阻碍；(c)丧失对治疗工作的影响。治疗师们讲述了自己的悲伤，并详细阐述了他们如何应对丧亲之痛。他们报告了悲伤过程中的阻碍，这些阻碍既有来自他人的，也有来自他们自己的。参与者发现，他们的失落体验与治疗工作中的挑战和进展都有关系。
