Grief and Loss Counseling in Shenandoah, TX.

Grief and loss can come in so many forms. Losing someone you love, whether it is from an end to a relationship or death, can be very distressing. It can cause depression and fears that there may not be anything or anyone better of you out there. Therapy can help you not only to learn to take better care of yourself but help you move forward with your life in positive and healthy ways.

The hole you are feeling inside you is understandable and expected. It is hard to keep going, and you've talked with your family and friends so much it's hard to feel like that isn't all you talk about. Let me guide you through this time. I will listen and help you come to terms with this loss. There is no reason to continue to isolate and feel alone.

Grief and loss are NORMAL and they happen to every person. The way we deal with loss is what separates us. A lot of the time we associate loss with pain. We program ourselves to stuff such intense, emotional feelings. Stuffing along with judgement of ourselves and the world around us, usually will lead you into a dark place. My goal is to help you view grief and loss in an objective nonjudmental way. We will debunk false beliefs about ourselves, emotions, and learn new ways of dealing with our situations.

All people perceive and/or experience loss in their lives. As part of the healing process I support people in transforming these experiences to a place of safety and acceptance. Together we extend the human power to survive and thrive despite adversity. My client's lives are enhanced as the negative impact of loss and grieving is diminished and a positive shift is experienced in their awareness.

Are you overwhelmed by grief or loss of a relationship? The grieving processing is different for everyone. Decision-making is impaired. Fear and anxiety about the future can manifest themselves in physical as well as emotional symptoms. I help clients to find hope and encouragement in the midst of their suffering. Don't go it alone. Get the support and relief that you need.

I am trained as a Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) provider by the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University. The structured protocol addresses "stuck grief" that is marked by an attachment fissure that causes rumination, excessive guilt, loss of former interests and hopelessness 6 months and longer (sometimes many years) after a significant loss. PGDT is evidence-based and has a over a 70 percent efficacy rate for movement into adaptive grief.

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.

Grief & loss are usually considered when we lose a loved one or part ways from a long-term relationship. These circumstances are certainly related to grief & loss, but we should also consider grief & loss in a much broader context. This includes the grief that is felt anytime we suffer a loss of any significant proportion. Often overlooked when considering grief & loss are issues related to losing any integral part of one's identity, transitioning into a new stage of life & leaving the previous stage behind, losing a job or career, or experiencing a loss of a part of one's self (e.g., innocence, confidence, religion, etc.). I use existential therapy & CBT to treat all issues of grief & loss.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

Personal loss digs deep at our spirits - it brings us to our knees yet charges that space with potential growth! I understand and deeply value your pain because it represents so much more than mere hurting.

This is the outcome which broadens and deepens our spirits. I'd be honored to walk there with you!

While there can be common traits we share when we experience grief, we each experience loss in a personal way. Some people become overwhelmed by tears and sadness. Some may feel disconnected. We can experience grief with the death of a loved one, in the process of divorce; or even in relation to a significant change in our life. Many people have experienced loss in these difficult economic times, forced to change careers that once sustained them and their families. Many people must work past a time when their parents may have been able to retire and live a life of leisure. The strongest thing someone can do is to reach out for help if they are stuck in a cycle of grief and despair.
