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.

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.
