The old saying that "time heals all wounds" is not really true. If grief or loss is not processed, this means talking through the elements of what the loss involved and what areas it affects, then it can become a pocket of unresolved stuff that always pulls you back. "Processing" it allows one to acknowledge the loss, feel bad about it, but then move on. The benefit of doing this is that you can live in freedom, without the past intruding on the present and casting a depressive cloud on everything. Grieving losses is important in order to get back to a place where there is joy in life.

Meeting the client where they are in the grief and loss cycle. We usually begin with an explanation into what that cycle looks like to validate and normalize what they are experiencing. From here we can create a safe place for them to move through the process using art activities/mindfulness/any other tools that may be useful to the client as needs arise.

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.
