Grief and Loss Counseling in Pompano Beach, FL.

Losing someone or something you love is profoundly painful. One of the greatest myths we hear is that “time heals all wounds.” In reality, time often deepens the ache unless we give ourselves permission to grieve. Healing requires space to mourn, honor what has been lost, and gently begin to carry it in a new way. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients as they move through grief toward healing, meaning, and peace.

When dealing with grief and loss, it is important to hold space for the pain that comes with this type of experience. Too often, we are told that we need to "just get over it" without fully understanding and processing the experience. Letting go is not something that happens overnight, and it is never the goal of our work together. Instead we find ways to honor the experience and find gratitude for the ways in which it has enriched our lives. The ultimate goal is to gain a greater understanding for why we had to go through the pain and ultimately find a sense of peace and healing.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

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.

Loss is an extremely hard thing and finding a new reality without your old way of life can be even harder. Loss can be many things - a loved one, a friend, a pet, a job or a transition of something in your life you once had. It's a big deal. We often experience a range of emotions as a result - depression, anger, bargaining, pain, sadness - they are all so normal and yet overwhelming. At KML, we are here to be your support and help you get through this difficult time. Sometimes, it is just having a place to go where you can let the emotions out, other times it might be wanting to talk through the pain of the loss - everyone is different. We are here to walk through the pain with you.

We help our client to heal and process grief and loss through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Everyone grieves differently, but it can be very beneficial to receive support from loved ones and therapists as you cope with grief and loss. Collaborative therapy, Emotionally-Focused therapy, grief psychoeducation, and techniques such as EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) can be especially helpful.

It is very common for individuals to seek psychotherapy in times of grief. The death of a loved one is perhaps the single most intensive emotional experience an individual must face.We understand that sometimes there is little hope and trust because the road to recovery has been exhausting full of short-lived success. ART is dedicated to find an individualized treatment that closely fits the unique circumstances of each client; we do not apply "one size fits all" type of therapeutic treatment.

There are 5 stages of grief and there is no set time limit. Diana will make you feel safe and give you the space to explore your unique feelings associated with bereavement.

Grieving the loss of a person, a pet, or the end of a marriage/relationship, or any other major life circumstance that triggers the feelings of loss can, at times, feel overwhelming. Feelings of loneliness, fear, pain, yearning, anxiety, emptiness, and anger are just some emotions you may be experiencing, which are completely normal. It can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Sometimes it feels like we can't talk to those closest to us about our feelings of grief because they are grieving themselves or we feel like a burden. You do not need to do it alone; I will provide a safe space for you to talk about the loss, process your feelings, and rediscover how to find joy.

Like many professionals I am astounded that psychiatrists have added grief to their huge list of "disorders." We all grieve differently and at a different pace. Like a physical wound, grief cannot be rushed or "cured." The best we can do is to keep the emotional wound clean, dry, and freshly bandaged, then watch the passage of time work its miracle.

Our approach to healing from grief and loss integrates humanistic principles, hypnotherapy, and rapid reduction techniques to facilitate profound transformation and restoration of inner balance. We recognize that grief extends beyond the loss of a person and encompasses various facets of life, such as the loss of self, a job, an identity, or a relationship. By combining humanistic therapy, which honors the individual's inherent capacity for growth and self-actualization, with hypnotherapy and rapid reduction techniques, we provide a holistic framework for healing. Rapid Reduction techniques enable individuals to swiftly release agonizing thoughts and emotions and their impact on your life. https://www.therenewcenter.com/depression-therapy-boca-raton-fl
