悲伤咖啡馆：在思念与失眠之间

关于讲座

本次疗愈咖啡馆将以一场心理教育讲座开始，探讨哀伤、反刍思绪（rumination）、回闪记忆（flashback memories）与失眠之间的关系，以及这些经历如何影响许多丧亲者的睡眠与日常生活。

讲座内容将帮助参与者了解哀伤如何影响睡眠品质及情绪健康，并学习一些实用的方法来应对失眠，包括建立良好的睡眠习惯、自我照顾技巧，以及如何面对夜晚涌现的思念与情绪。

讲座结束后，参与者将透过叙事治疗（Narrative Therapy）及持续连结（Continuing Bonds）的理念，参与体验活动——“串起思念”（Beads of Memories）。活动中，参与者可选择运用不同颜色的珠子来象征各种情绪、经历与回忆，并邀请大家回顾自己独特的哀伤历程，挑选与自己经历产生共鸣的珠子。随着一颗颗珠子被串连成手链，参与者也象征性地串起思念，将与挚爱有关的回忆、情感与故事编织在一起，珍藏那份即使在亲人离世后依然延续的爱与连结。

通过这个过程，参与者能够以一种有意义且具体的方式，怀念逝者、表达思念，并承载这份珍贵的情感继续前行。

Venue: Mountbatten Community Club Conference Room Level 4
