Day 2 of the workshop was equally engaging and insightful. The sessions moved from theory into applied practice through ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€, ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด.

One learning that really stayed with me was about the importance of language in clinical practice. Instead of using the term โ€œ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ,โ€ it is more appropriate to say โ€œ๐˜๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑโ€ when making comparisons. Such small shifts in language reflect respect, sensitivity, and a more accurate understanding of development.

Another enriching aspect was the opportunity to learn ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—น๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ who have been associated with the development of the assessment tool itself. In psychology, we often use frameworks and interventions without interacting with the pioneers behind themโ€”for instance, many practitioners practice ๐—–๐—•๐—ง without ever having the opportunity to learn directly from ๐—”๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ง. ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ธ.

Listening to the insights of contributors behind the test added depth and context to the learning experience.

It was also wonderful reconnecting with colleagues and interacting with psychologists from across the countryโ€”๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

I recently read about ๐—œ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ž๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป, who lost his cousin sister in a tragic accident just before an important match. Despite the emotional shock, he chose to play and later dedicated the performance to her. He also mentioned speaking to ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ธ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜†๐—ฎ, who encouraged him to put the team first. The moment felt even more meaningful as it coincided with ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป'๐˜€ ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜†.

From a psychological perspective, moments like these highlight resilience under emotional strain.
Resilience does not mean the absence of grief. It is the ability to function, make decisions, and stay connected to purpose even while experiencing distress.

A few psychological processes stand out:

โ€ข ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด-๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด โ€“ dedicating performance to a loved one can transform grief into purpose.
โ€ข ๐—˜๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป โ€“ managing intense emotions while performing.
โ€ข ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ โ€“ drawing strength from responsibility toward the team.
โ€ข ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ โ€“ guidance from teammates can provide grounding.

At the same time, grief is deeply personal. Some continue performing; others need time and space. Both responses are valid.

Ultimately, ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ is not about being unaffected by lossโ€”it is about finding a way to move forward while carrying our emotions with us.
