Grief and Loss Counselling in Langham, SK.

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.

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.

Grief is felt for many different reasons. At Crossroads Therapeutic Solutions we are here to provide a safe, supportive space to help you understand and heal. Our trained staff can help you with the loss of a loved one, loss of a pet, health-related loss, loss of employment/career, loss of a relationship, life transitions or loss of hopes and dreams.

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.

Grief and loss touch many parts of our lives. While we often associate grief with the death of a loved one, but it can also arise after the loss of a marriage, a job, a dream, or a relationship you had deeply hoped for. Grief can feel like a rogue wave, knocking you off balance when you least expect it — or like a dull ache that quietly lingers. However it shows up for you, Alison offers a safe, compassionate space to explore your feelings, relationships, and experiences. Together, you’ll work toward clarity, stability, and renewed strength — finding your footing again and supporting your overall mental wellness. You do not have to walk this journey alone.

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 dont include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Grief is varies in the ways it shows up for different people, and the different reasons why it shows up. Together, we can explore both death and/or non-death losses (job loss, relationship loss, loss of access to things that are important etc.) My approach aims to help you explore the pain from the absence/loss and make meaning of what's left. I use an integrative approach that draws from narrative therapy, schema therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

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.
