Grief and Loss Counseling in New Franklin, OH.

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 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.

Grief and loss is a very personal issue and therapy can help express feelings, memorialize the loved one, integrate other losses, and more. I have helped individuals move through grief and loss of family members, pets, loss of buddies in military service, loss of a colleague or peer in the workforce. Sometimes, other factors make it difficult to take the time to grieve, and therapy can help.

I am sincerely sorry you are suffering. When you lose someone, or something, important, it can be so very painful. I have a very high level of training in helping people with these sorts of pains.

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.

Losing a significant person in your life presents a very difficult time for anyone. There are five stages of grief that one normally feels. We can help you walk through the journey of grief through each stage: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and finally Acceptance. There are different types of loss: death of a loved one or pet, a job loss, the loss of a dream, and other types of loss . We can help you walk the journey from powerlessness to realizing acceptance and a new peace in your life.

Grief and loss is a process which many people have trouble going through alone. Grief and loss counseling can assist you with this process by helping you come to terms with unresolved issues resulting from the loss, coping with the feelings regarding the loss, and safely expressing the grief felt as a result of the loss. Please contact the office for further information regarding our grief and loss counseling.

All of us may experience the death of a loved one, loss, or any form of grief. How one deals with a loss is uniquely their own. Undergoing grief counseling can help with the following: Learning to communicate – I can assist with opening up about the source of grief and discussing one’s thoughts and feelings. I can provide a more objective point of view for people who are grieving and help shed light on the situation by leading the conversation to a fruitful resolution.

Grief and loss are experienced in so many individual ways; there is no one way to grieve. Grief can also be complicated by the quality and status of the relationship, as well as unresolved issues, which can be so difficult to process once a loved one is gone. Grief and loss are also experienced by individuals who have lost something intangible, such as the loss of a dream or the loss of a significant relationship. Because the feelings can often be so difficult, repressing feelings may seem like a good option. Unfortunately, feelings don't go away just because we want them too. They will likely resurface at inopportune times. They don't go away till they are processed and worked through.
