We believe a vital part of therapy is the idea of grief and loss. Your ability to accept things the way they are can be hugely affected by the way you have dealt with loss in your life. In order to create a new future, sometimes that requires mourning the loss of some aspect of yourself. If therapy is something you are considering, then chances are you have had many struggles in your life and something you resorted to for survival may not be the best coping skill of today. However, letting go of that coping skill can be a painful loss of yourself. For example, if you found validation in sexual experiences and clung to some aspect of relationships throughout your life, then letting go of

There are many types of losses – death of a loved one; moving to another city or another country; loss of a job or retirement; Separations from loved ones; health, just to name a few. Loss of any kind is often accompanied by a piercing pain. But not always. Each of us has our own way of responding to loss – our unique window of tolerance for distress. For some, the overwhelm is expressed, for others it remains internalized. The healing occurs by sharing what you are feeling, and not carrying your loss on your own. Part of the healing involves holding on to that threat that connects you to your memory of how things were before your loss, and the creation of a new normal.

Grief and loss can be overwhelming, confusing and debilitating. There are often overpowering feelings of sadness, fear, anxiety, guilt and anger as well as thoughts and stories that we tell ourselves and others tell us. Sometimes there are other people to support and many responsibilities beyond the work of grieving that seem to preclude the possibility of meeting our own needs for personal support. I work to provide a sense of clarity and self-connection in the journey of grief.

Everyone must deal with grief and loss at some point in their lives. When the loss is significant, the sadness can be overwhelming. Sometimes, the best therapy in such cases is simply to provide a safe place for the client to be heard and supported. Just being there for someone who is dealing with loss and the grief that accompanies it is often sufficient to help them manage the feelings and get back to living their own life in a productive and satisfying way.

Death is a part of the life cycle and grief is the natural response to the loss. Grieving is a normal process that can include expressions of anger, feelings of loss, sadness and emptiness. There are sometimes feelings of guilt or temporary impact on self-esteem. As a Certified Grief Specialist, I have had the opportunity to counsel grieving clients and assist them through this process in a safe and supportive environment.

When a patient suffers a loss—whether from a death, divorce or falling out with a friend or relative — I lead them through a process, either individually or in a group, that helps them process the loss, accept it and let it go. The process includes drilling down into their psyche to find out what meanings they give to the loss. Often, they find that they believe they are being punished by God or that they have a cloud over their head that causes them to lose anyone they love. Then, I work with them to change that belief. I include a series of letters, memorials and written questions that helps them give up their depression and powerlessness caused by a loss.

The loss of a loved one or friend is one of the most profoundly devastating events that can occur in one’s life. When one is unable fully to work -through the grieving process in the first month and months that follow, the grief often can spread and exert effects over multiple spheres of living. Grief-work in psychotherapy goes deeper into the dynamics of the process and moves the individual toward letting-go and back into life.

When i start working with someone, my first objective is to put them at ease, and build rapport. Once the client is feeling relaxed, then they will start to talk about the pain and sorrow that they want support in handling and understanding. I encourge the clients to express themselves, to allow their feelings to come out, and be fully felt, and heard. From sharing their innermost feelings and thoughts most clients begin to experience a sense of relief. The next phase is coming to make meaning of this very deep sense of grief or loss and develop perspective. Once the client begins to rest in knowing more about themselves and what they have come to realize, they can move on.

Losing a loved one is hard to deal with and talking to the right person can really make a difference. Putting those messy emotions into a wrapped up package is not the way it is meant to be. The Kubler- Ross Stages of Grief will enable you to process grief if you know what to expect. Those stages are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. These stages are not ones that are necessarily done in order when dealing with the loss of your loved one. Knowing what to expect and having the right counselor to talk with will help by giving you the tools to frame and identify this loss. It is time to start learning to live life to the fullest again. Call for a free consultation today.

There aren't always words to describe the loss of someone. It leaves you asking, "Why?" But the answers don't always seem to appear. Therapy for grief & loss can help you deal with the unknown that you are left with when such a life changing event, such as a death, occurs. Having someone who understands, and can let you just be and experience your feelings can help you through this painfully difficult change that has left you uncertain and lost.

Confronting the pain of loss may feel too intense, but counseling can bring relief. How? Talking about your sadness, regrets, guilt, anger, etc., will help you release thoughts and feelings… slowly accept how the loss impacts your life… give the lost loved one a new place in your heart... and eventually adjust to your changed life and often-new self. You can re-discover the joy of life without forgetting what you have lost.

Grieving cannot be done alone. All you can do by yourself is be sad and alone. This is not healing. Grieving is a process that has a beginning and an end and must include one other person who is understanding and compassionate. If you are tired of feeling like no one understands your loss on an emotional level, then you may wish to consider a visit with Thomas.

Grief is a normal response to loss, and all of us experience it. Sometimes it is harder, and we can feel stuck in our pain, unable to begin the healing process. If that is your experience, or if you simply need some support during your grieving, counseling can help a great deal. I use a variety of methods that can be helpful, ranging from supportive work to healing traumas that may have accompanied the loss you have experienced. Everyone's situation is different, so my approach is different for each person. Please call if you would like to explore whether therapy might help at this time.

"Am I going crazy?" is a question people often ask me when they come in for loss, grief or bereavement therapy. "Everything is normal in grief," I respond. Why? Because there is no "right" way to grieve. Grief reactions can be all over the map - and different every hour. One moment we feel numb. Then we might sob uncontrollably. Or we might question ourselves about why we never cry. Everything in our life can seem out of whack & we beat ourselves up when we have trouble functioning. Sometimes no one is able to handle the depth and strength of our feelings and reactions. That's when it can be very helpful to visit an experienced grief therapist like myself for support in healing

We all experience loss in our lives; grieving is normal and necessary. We grieve the loss of a relationship, a loved one, a pet, a marriage. Talking about and working through all aspects of the loss, including coming to terms with regrets and guilt is a part of the grieving process and necessary for healing and personal growth. I have been in practice for over four decades and have worked with hundreds of individuals as they deal with their anger, sadness, guilt, pain, loneliness, and despair. The good news is that we can recover and move on remembering the good along with grief of having to deal with an ending.
