Grief and Loss Counseling in Bartonville, TX.

Experiencing a loss, whether it is sudden or anticipated, can unleash a whirlwind of emotions that leave you feeling isolated and disconnected from the people and activities that once brought you happiness. During a tumultuous period when your world feels turned upside down, having someone by your side who understands and cares can be an invaluable asset in navigating the journey ahead. Together, we can discover a sense of healing and rediscovery, helping you reconnect with yourself and others. And amidst the process of processing difficult emotions, there lies the potential for unexpected moments of joy to emerge- little sparks that remind us of some of the good in life.

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.

There are many challenges associated with grieving the loss of a loved one, whether to death or the loss of a relationship. One challenge is to adjust to the new reality of living without the loved one. There is no "right" way to grieve or process a loss. I help individuals navigate and process the stages of grief. I help individuals work through the four tasks of mourning (accept the reality of the loss, work through the pain of grief, adjust to life without the deceased, and maintain a connection to the deceased while moving on with life.

My experience working at Children's Hospital of Dallas and Methodist Hospital has helped me to understand that the stages of grief are not linear, but circular. You can be very sad one day and angry the next. Sometimes, all of the stages in the same day. Learn to work through each of these stages as they occur (and reoccur) to move to a place of greater peace. Many look for relief from the feelings- learn healthier ways to engage the process without relying on unhealthy fixes or coping mechanisms.

Experiencing the death of a loved one or facing another form of loss can make you feel like you are surrounded by darkness and loneliness. But the darkness will subside and your grief can be healed. Whether you are grieving alone or your whole family is grieving, our marriage and family therapists and professional counselors will help you better understand the grieving process, develop coping skills that promote healing, and form supportive relationships with others. If your grief has led to depression or a debilitating anxiety then we can help you with that too. And we will do all of this with the gift of faith.

The pain of grief always passes with expression, not avoidance. Counseling grants you permission to grieve. Grieving in the presence of another person is more restorative that grieving alone, but often times friends or family may unknowingly inhibit your grief. Counseling removes all expectations and pressures, allowing your grief to come on its own. Grief counseling makes room for emotions you may not expect, know how to explain, or may feel guilty about. Your expression of grief will ease your pain and make life seem livable again.

In Grief & Loss Therapy, I'll give you a safe and accepting place to work with the complex emotions that come with loss. Together, we'll work on creating coping mechanisms for handling your loss, avoiding problems, and recognizing the legitimacy of your feelings. Our sessions will also emphasize on your communication abilities so that you may better explain your needs and feelings to others who are supporting you. Also, I want to help you regain meaning and purpose in your life after experiencing loss by providing you with new views and insights. I believe that by going through this, we can find a way to assist you to get past your grief and accept the possibility of a fulfilling future.

Grief comes in all shapes and sizes. We can help you successfully grieve your loss by completing your relationship to the pain, isolation and loneliness created by the traumatic loss. Creating a loss history can help us identify where current losses may triggering old unresolved loss. We can help you learn to cope and process your loss so that you can move forward in your life.

I use a Biblical / Christian approach to grief and loss. I help you encounter Jesus where your pain is so that you not only know, but experience his presence walking with you in your suffering. It's important to be able to give Jesus your feelings and allow him to sit with you while you're feeling them so you can ultimately release them and experience his healing and comfort.
