TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Changing Suicide Bereavement Narrative Through Integral Breath Therapy JO - Journal of creativity in mental health A1 - Turner, R. A1 - Wooten, H.R. A1 - Chou, W.-m. SP - 424 EP - 435 VL - 14 IS - 4 N2 - The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of Integral Breath Therapy (IBT) as an appropriate intervention for facilitating meaning-making out of a traumatic loss and reducing symptoms of complicated grief, specifically for those bereaved by suicide. The narrative mixed methods design included pre- and post- measures of the Inventory of Complicated Grief with eight participants selected from a South Texas bereavement facility. The following themes emerged from the pre-interviews: Isolation/Avoidance, Disbelief/Shock, Shattered Sense of Self, Holding On, Guilt/Blame, and Rupture with Spirituality, while themes from the post-interview were Connection, Purpose, Hope, Acceptance, Sense of Self, and Catharsis/Letting Go. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis.
