Grief and Loss Counseling in Lynn, MA.

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.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

In my approach to grief and loss, I provide a compassionate, empathetic space where clients can process their emotions at their own pace. Utilizing a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy, I help clients explore their feelings, find meaning in their experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies. By acknowledging the unique nature of each individual’s grief, I support clients in their journey toward healing and acceptance, allowing them to integrate their loss into their lives in a way that fosters resilience and growth.

When you have suffered a significant loss, it can be difficult to talk with the people who love you most because it can increase the distress of everyone involved. But talking is a way humans find positive meaning in even the most catastrophic events. A grief therapist can be a caring witness to all the complicated thoughts and feelings you have after a loss. Talking your way through the stages of grief with a therapist helps you move through the grief instead of suppressing it, release all the pain, and gradually to heal.

Working through and processing your loss and grief will free up your energy and help you to find yourself again. This is the benefit from counseling here. By using techniques like journaling, role-playing, hypnotherapuetic and deep relaxation exercises, memory recall-whether anger, saddness or recovering happy times- in addition to talk therapy, we will help you move through the stages of grief in a healthier way.

It can be difficult to come to acceptance to a love one being gone. Acceptance does not mean they do not matter, it means you can be stronger again and heal. It means you can still cherish the memory of them without the pain. I will help you achieve that after we take time to validate the different emotions associated with losing a loved one and creating the value that helps you keep their legacy.

Are you having a hard time letting go of grief? I have worked with many clients suffering from grief and loss to help them let go and return to a life of peace and happiness. Using a variety of different mind/body techniques, I help clients reduce or eliminate negative emotion when thinking about the loss of a loved one or regretting or feeling guilty about something they did or didn't do.
