My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is to normalize the grieving process and create space for individuals to fully and authentically grieve the loss. Society often expects us to move on from loss or appear “ok” long before we feel ok. In reality, grieving takes longer than a few days or weeks. I seek to create a space where it's ok to not be ok.
The most important “tool” to process grief and loss is to identify the emotions, be with those emotions, and allow them to naturally move through us. It's hard, but as we allow ourselves to feel, truly feel, the loss, we can begin to adjust to what life looks like now and begin to move forward.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling when they can envision life without what they've lost without experiencing intense negative emotions.
Clients can supplement their time in grief & loss counseling by creating time in their day-to-day lives to feel their feelings, e.g. through journaling. Sometimes, clients find a peer support group or a therapist-facilitated process group helpful in addition to individual counseling.
To prepare for their first grief & loss counseling session, an individual can think about what “resolved grief” means to them. Said another way, what would they have and/or how would they feel months from now if they got what they needed from grief & loss counseling?
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Cedar Park, TX have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Cedar Park, TX will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
