Coping with Grief & Loss

Loss of a loved one, a relationship, illness, divorce, breakup, and death; these are some of the difficult losses that we may experience in life. These experiences can often bring about immense pain and intense emotions. The emotional experience of grief and loss can be described as a cycle: we may feel at time sadness, anger, shame, guilt, denial or yearning. Sometimes a loss can trigger feelings of disorientation and loss of meaning in life.

Psychotherapy provides a safe and supportive environment for you to speak about your loss and the personal effect it has on you. Knowing that you are not alone, we will address your emotional experiences towards the loss and explore your strengths for coping with the new challenges.

Psychotherapy can help people experiencing grief and loss:

• Create a safe and supportive environment for you to speak about your loss and the personal effects it has had on you.
• Understand the stages and processes of grieving.
• Apply therapeutic tools to help express and heal painful emotions associated with the loss.
• Explore inner strengths to help you cope with and adjust to the new changes.
