Grief and Loss Counseling in Goodrich, MI.

Grief can be experienced in many different ways which include death, abandonment, a breakup, or any other kind of loss, It is important that each individual has the space to explore their own grief. My approach incorporates understanding the five stages of grief, with additional emphasis on the sixth stage, where I will work with you to find meaning. Techniques include talk-therapy, drawing, and writing.

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 therapy aims to help people cope with grief and mourning following the death of loved ones, or with major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (e.g., divorce, major illness). Everyone experiences and expresses grief in their own way, often shaped by culture. They believe that it is not uncommon for a person to withdraw from their friends and family and feel helpless; some might be angry. One can expect a wide range of emotion and behavior associated with grief. We believe that in all places and cultures, the grieving person benefits from the support of others.

When someone we love dies it shatters our world. After the shock wears off the pain sets in and life becomes a struggle as we try to rebuild our life without the person we love. Healing from grief takes time, longer than most people realize. My prior experience as a Hospice bereavement counselor has given me an in depth understanding of the grieving process. The approach I use helps the grieving person understand the bereavement process in order to normalize their grief and give expression to their many emotions. I also address the other factors that may complicate the grief. Grief counseling can help you begin to heal and eventually find meaning and purpose in your life.
