Grief and Loss Counselling in Redcliff, AB.

Coming to terms with feelings of loss and making sense of it can be a painful process. Grief is an emotional and physical response to loss through death, breakup, or a traumatic event. Grief occurs across all ages, and people process it differently, in their own way and time. Grief counseling is a type of professional therapy designed to help you work through the various stages and range of emotions you may feel after a loss. I can help you accept the reality of the loss, adjust to life without them, work through the pain of grief, and maintain a connection with a loved one you’ve lost while finding ways to move on with life. .

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Going through grief and loss is some of the most difficult and painful emotional processes. My approach to working with loss is to give you tools and specific tasks that can how to honour your grief and loss such that it gives relief and release. There are three areas that are typically needed to be addressed to recover from significant loss. The (1) past - where there may be unresolved issues that feel as though they cannot find the closure one needs. And there is the (2) present, in which one needs to figure out how to honour the loss and (3) the future, which is forever changed and for which positive meaning is needed. Working on these three areas allows for recovery to happen.

Grief and loss is not just death. Separation, divorce, moving, friendships ending, graduation are only a few examples of when grief can be experienced. Even with new and exciting changes there can be grief. Marriage and graduation provided exciting opportunities for the future, but also means leaving some things in the past. It is possible to move beyond grief and loss. The Grief Recovery program provides exercises to help recognize and then say goodbye. Saying "goodbye" does not mean forgetting, it means being able to move forward.
