Although natural, the pain associated with grief is often a destabilizing part of the human experience. It rarely feels like a linear process; instead, it comes in waves and might be perceived as an overwhelming sense of sorrow, shock, or helplessness. Grief may also be distracting, interfering with our everyday functioning and our desire or capacity to interact with others around us.
When faced with loss, whether it be from the passing of a loved one, the breakup of a relationship, the loss of identity, confidence, independence, and so on, humans grieve. Even while everyone experiences loss in the same way, everyone grieves differently.
At Brighter Tomorrow Counselling Service, we start by getting to know you and your unique experience, recognizing and appreciating the pain caused by your loss, and meeting you where you are. You are urged to be kind to yourself and eventually find meaningful ways to integrate the loss into your life by using an eclectic approach with specialized EFT and ACT strategies.
