Grief and Loss Counselling in Altona, MB.

Every experience of loss is unique. I don't think that in grieving though we need always be talking about how we need to say "good-bye" and get on with our lives so much as learn how to recover and incorporate the lost relationship in our day-to-day living. Dealing with grief need not always be about getting over what you have lost so much as recovering or incorporating or re-remembering the lost person's positive experiences of you. In grief counseling, I like to remind people that our loved ones can be very much present even though they may be gone from this material reality.

We all experience loss in many areas of our lives. The loss of loved ones, loss of pets, transitions in our lives, health related issues, and changes beyond our control. It is challenging to navigate these losses and resulting grief on our own. Losing someone or something you love or care deeply about is very painful. You may experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness you're experiencing will never leave. These are normal reactions to a significant loss. As a counselor therapist I will join you in your journey as you endeavour to bring balance and equilibrium back to your 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.

Are you using alcohol, substances, or addictive behaviors to cope with grief and loss? Although they provide relief in the short term, their long-term effects on your relationships and health can make it even more difficult to cope. Through a compassionate non-judgmental approach, I help clients explore their relationship to grief and loss so that they can overcome addictive coping strategies. If you're looking for another way forward, feel free to reach out and we can set up a free consultation to discuss further.

Loss, & grief, can come in a variety of forms. It can also be a very lonely experience, especially at later points in the grieving process. Meaning--or the lack thereof--is often an important component of grief for those experiencing it. This is not about silver-linings, but rather about making sense of the experience. The grieving process involves working through painful, difficult, sometimes confusing, & even complex feelings. It involves adjusting to new rhythms of life & sometimes even learning new things. I am committed to walking with you through that process, helping you regrow the ability to be present in life, & helping you learn how to 'hold' grief as it surfaces.
