Grief and Loss Counselling in Saskatoon, SK.

Our natural response to any loss is to grieve. Maybe there is grief for a loved one, for a broken promise or betrayed trust, for lost opportunities, for the suffering of another, for the end of a relationship, or the loss of a job. It can be a complicated process involving a complex (and often confusing) array of painful feelings that often affect us on all levels - mind, body and spirit. In my practice, I help people to work through the mourning process, exploring ways to honor their loss, and begin to adapt to changes and new realities. Maybe together, we can find a way through.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
