Grief and Loss Counselling in Delisle, SK.

Loss is inevitable in life, it can be do to a loss of a loved one due to death or loss of relationships for various reasons. Some losses are also traumatic and have an even greater impact on the individual's life, talking to a therapist can be a very helpful process in processing grief. Cindie guides clients as they process their unique grief journey.

The experience of pain following the loss of a loved one or something deeply cherished can be incredibly intense. Some individuals have described this pain as piercing, difficult, gripping, numb, brutal, awful, or complex. Others have found it difficult to put into words. It's natural to wish that there was a way to avoid or minimize this pain, but some people are adept at delaying or concealing their suffering. However, it's essential to recognize that this approach may only postpone the healing process. While it may sound firm, the truth is that facing and working through the pain is essential for the healing process. Accepting new clients!

People grieve many things, ranging from the death of a loved one or pet to other personal losses. My role is to support clients through the wide range of feelings that can arise, from sadness to anger.

Narrative therapy is a type of experiential therapy that works by identifying individuals separately from their lived experiences, and empowering those individuals to use that same approach when dealing with their problems. By removing blame and others’ perceptions, individuals are able to re-author their stories and re-establish their experiences in the here-and-now. Over time with the use of narrative therapy, individuals are able to understand themselves better and separately from their problems and recognize how the language of their stories shape their life and identity.

Grief and Loss is a pivotal aspect of counseling / therapy that applies to work in trauma, bereavement, addiction recovery, and more. Sadly, in today's society, we have been conditioned to minimize our wounds, downplay the effects of the loss, and somehow pretend that we have nothing to grieve. We may find ourselves profoundly effected by a loss, but not receive the care required, because few recognize the significance. Grief and loss is important to process and embrace. It is not a systematic routine of stages that comes to a neat resolution. And grief/loss should not be endured alone.

Although a natural part of life, grief and loss have a way of knocking us down like few other life events. Grief is complex in that it is often associated with trauma and guilt. Therapy will provide you a safe space to talk about your loss, and process any trauma or guilt that is getting in the way of your healing. I will walk with you while you learn to let go if the stuff that holds you back and hang onto and cherish the pieces that inspire you to keep going. There is life after loss.

My approach to grief counseling recognizes that we can never be fully prepared for the loss of a loved one, regardless of the circumstances. I work with clients to understand the grief process and identify how such experiences impact their lives, their coping mechanisms, and available individual and community-based strategies and methods of intervention. I also work with clients experiencing complicated mourning, anticipatory grief, and sudden and unexpected death.

We all experience grief and loss differently, at different rates and in different ways. As a clinician, I approach clients as a unique individual providing practical tools and approaches trained in (e.g., EMDR, EFT, Heartmath, etc), in order to best support each and every individual's needs. Style: compassionate, non-judgmental, supportive, and collaborative in nature.

The death of a loved one is among the hardest and often most confusing times in life. Emotions run high and varied; anger, grief, sadness and guilt often are present at these times. I believe that we can use some help to understand and process these emotions. Having support as we talk through the experience can help. To feel heard and validated helps in the healing process as you work through the pain and finally get to a place of acceptance and peace.

I have offered Grief and Loss workshops over the past two years and focus on normalizing the different experiences of grief. This includes feelings of isolation, secondary losses (for example, family and friends that were also lost as part of the original loss), physical symptoms (such as exhaustion and pain), self-blame, denial and a change to identity. We debunk the 'stages of grief' and recognize that we might go through each of these stages in a day alone, and that we may be surprised when grief returns to us in a new and surprising way when we thought we had in fact 'moved on'. We will also explore meaning and purpose, and the difficulty of being 'where we are' emotionally.

You will learn about aspects of healthy grieving. You will learn how to work your way through grief. You will also learn how to have times of reprieve from your grief so that you can stay in touch with your present living. You will see yourself getting stronger, honoring your feelings, making meaning out of chaos and in time find yourself able to live again.

We grieve because we experience a loss. Grief and loss can come from many life events including death, loss of a relationship, job, or perhaps the loss of a dream or hope that you had. What I do know is that it affects each of us differently and presents itself in unique ways. No one else can truly understand what you are going through. My approach is to meet you where you are at in an empathetic, compassionate, and supportive space to enable you to walk through your journey.

Losing a loved one can be one of the most challenging experiences in life. Grieving can include numerous emotional states that can feel intense, change often, and sometimes contradictory. Becoming familiar with our grief response can enable us to process these emotions healthier and more proactively. Bereavement disrupts our regular routines and relationships and forces us into new personal and relational dynamics. We can discover ways to adapt to these very significant life transitions.

Grieving is a normal process however because we are all unique the duration and intensity can vary depending on the individual and the situation. During the grieving process I help the individual come to terms with the fact that the deceased will never come back, to cherish the memories that remain, and to move forward in living their life to the fullest.
