Grief and Loss Counseling in Murfreesboro, TN.

Grief is experienced as the result of a loss. It could be experienced in the death of someone you love, or in the loss of income or a job. It could be experienced in the loss of a relationship through divorce or estrangement from a child. There are no boundaries for experiencing grief, just as there is no set timeline for grief to be complete. A person may or may not see clearly defined stages of grief. The truth is everyone grieves and everyone grieves differently. There is help with the grieving process. Take the first step toward healing today.

I believe there is an intensity to grief that is deeply overwhelming, but possible to navigate. Few understand this process and give quick, reductionistic answers to complex questions. I have experienced significant loss in my life, led grief recovery groups, and have worked alongside many who allow me to walk alongside them during this particularly vulnerable time. I enjoy existential and spiritual dialogue with those who are ready to dig in.

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.

We often think of grief as related to losing a loved one to death, but it can also be the result of losing a home, a job, a community, a relationship, a future hope, a pet. There are so many forms of loss we experience, and grieving those losses is an important and healthy task that helps us integrate those losses into our experience. Grieving is the way we express our love for our loved one in their absence. Grieving is a letting go process and helps us makes room for what is to come. In our work together, you will experience a safe space to process your loss and work through the impact of it as you adjust to a new normal.

Loss is one of the hardest things people can experience as so many emotions can be tied together making it almost unrecognizable to process. One of the first things to do is recognize that it's ok to feel those different emotions and to work through them, processing them each fully. Unfortunately, sometimes the main drive is to push things away and not experience them fully. Breaking things down can allow for it to be processed but not be overwhelmed.
