Grief and Loss Counseling in Bountiful, UT.

Grief and loss can be more complicated than just not being able to let go. When I work with clients on grief, we work to honor what needs to be kept and allow what needs to pass, to pass. Your journey through your grief will be your own and together, we can work to transform the suffering into meaning. As you work through your grief, you will be able to live in the present without feeling tethered to your past. We can utilize additional methods that not only allow the mind to move on from loss, but the body and the heart as well. When you are able to completely address your grief, you will find that you have room the the storylines and relationships in your life you are excited about.

Someone once said that "to give and receive pain is part of the human condition, to remember is part of the cure." With loss, we have to accept it & allow ourselves to feel it fully. It can be harder when the person who died is someone with whom there was a conflicted relationship/unfinished business. Our society is not good at handling grief. Many people will not be able to simply be with you and allow you to be said; they will want to "fix it": "he had a great life," "she wouldn't want you to be sad," or "but he was in pain." These may all be true statements, but often they don't help. Where a person is spiritually and what they believe happens when someone dies is an aspect to explore

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.
