Grief and Loss Counselling in Barriere, BC.

Grief and loss affects everyone at some time in their lives unfortunately, and with persistent concussion symptoms that can last years, it creates a unique struggle. People who struggle with post concussion always say "I feel so isolated", or "nobody understands", even people close to them. Working with people with post concussion for many years gives me a unique lens into this often debilitating and lonely world. As a Certified Brain Injury Specialist, I have training and education in this field and use evidence-based approaches and supports to help. I understand.

When we are facing grief and loss, there is often a complex web of emotions and many layers of meaning-making to encounter in our healing process. The path is never linear.

With gentle presence, we can hold the magnitude and the subtleties of this experience moving step by step towards healing.

When losing someone or something important to us, it can take lots time to adjust and learn to live our life without that person, thing or way of life.

Any loss can cause grief. While we associate the most intense grief with the loss of a loved one there is also grief in the loss of a relationship, friendship, health, job, death of a pet, or a loved one's serious illness. We believe that each of us unfolds and processes grief in an individual way with no set timetable for grieving and resolution. We thus provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental environment so that you can process grief in your own way using clinical tools and information to understand and process the cycles of grief and thereby heal.

My approach is to join with you to understand your experience of loss intimately and deeply in conversation with you. When we are joined with the pain, you will not have to feel it alone, even if the grief is only fully healed with time. I will help you make sense of your feelings and provide psychoeducation around the phases of grief, specifically to how these known phases can be meaningful to your current experience, what you are feeling, and how you can continue to honour the person, relationship, or thing that you have lost and find acceptance and hope.

Grief is a potential reaction to a loss of any kind whether through death, divorce, abandonment, separation, job loss, illness, disease diagnosis, kids leaving home, etc. Feelings of anger, resentment, shame, confusion, isolation or abandonment can result. Friends and family may not know what to say or how to provide support. A trained professional, who is profoundly sympathetic, respectful and empathetic, with the skills required to help one navigate through this difficult time, can be critical in helping one regain equilibrium.

When we experience loss, we can become stuck in a pattern of negative feelings and emotions. It can be hard to more forward in the healing process. EMDR can help by targeting and reprocessing the underlying memories and emotions associated with the loss, thus allowing us to move through the stages of grief in a more healing and adaptive way. By reprocessing the negative experiences, we reduce the negative symptoms and increase our sense of emotional resilience and well-being.

In grief counseling, various techniques are employed, such as talk therapy, expressive arts therapy, and support groups, to create a supportive and understanding environment. The focus is on acknowledging the loss, expressing emotions safely, and finding new ways to connect with lost loved ones or adapt to the new reality. The journey also involves rediscovering joy and meaning in life, acknowledging that while the loss remains a part of one's story, it does not define the entire narrative. This compassionate approach aims to guide individuals through their grief, helping them to heal and grow at their own pace.

Grief and loss is a profound and individualized experience. However, with ideas about specific stages of grief and appropriate and inappropriate types of grieving - grief and loss can be stigmatizing. Feelings of grief and loss can come from a wide range of experiences. For instances, these feelings can emerge from a death or loss of a loved one, an illness, death of a pet, loss from relationship or identity etc. In therapy we will explore your individual experience with grief and loss within the context of your life and life experiences. I offer support to individuals, couples, or families.
