Grief & Loss

Grief is an initiatory and vital aspect of life that beckons us to reflect upon our deepest feelings and vulnerabilities while challenging our core beliefs.

Loss – whether through death, a break up, a diagnosis, termination of a job or loss of a home is often deeply unsettling and disorienting. It can feel unreal, confusing, and impossible to fathom; bringing waves of numbness, emotional turmoil, and difficulty functioning.

Whether individually or collectively, being thrust into this uncharted territory can also elicit resistance, anger and regret as we are forced to live through the impact of our loss. It can be overwhelming as parts of our identity and sense of self cease to exist in the same way. Just as there are countless kinds of losses, there is no set time line or right way to grieve.

While painful, grieving loss in therapy is an opportunity for meeting vulnerabilities with care, identifying and receiving what feels supportive for you in this transitional space, and cultivating new somatic and emotional tools that can assist you through the process with more resilience.

Like the love from which it emerges; grief can fortify you with compassionate self awareness, and clarity for navigating the profound changes ahead as you integrate the past with your evolving self.
