Grief and Loss Counseling in Chardon, OH.

Grief and loss is a part of so much more than many recognize in every day life. Most folks are familiar with the Kubler-Ross stages, but processing grief is much more than those five stages. There are tasks of mourning that can be explored and expanded with support in therapy. There are secondary losses as a result of an initial loss. Grief impacts how open we feel to new relationships in our lives. I work with clients to help them understand their responses to grief, move through their grief and feelings through expressive arts and verbal processing.

Grief is a common human experience, but many underestimate the impact that loss will have on them. They are not often prepared for the long-term impact of key losses such as death, job loss, divorce, or other life transitions. Some can get stuck in the process, developing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other issues. Counseling allows individuals to finish letting that process and to incorporate their loss into their life stories, redeeming the loss and finding life again in spite of the changes brought into their worlds.

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.
