“Simply touching a difficult memory with some slight willingness to heal begins to soften the holding and tension around it.” – Stephen Levine
GRIEF & LOSS COUNSELING IN MIAMI, FL
Grief is a natural response to a significant change or loss in our lives. It is also a natural part of the human experience that is unique to each person and circumstance. We commonly think about grief as connected to the loss of a loved one. However, we can also experience grief with a variety of life experiences and changes. Many people find relief through grief counseling in Miami, FL.
Some experiences that may lead to grief are:
Loss of a loved one
Miscarriage
Fertility issues
Divorce
Health problems
Trauma
Relationship issues
Life transitions
Significant changes in identity
Whatever the reason you are experiencing grief, it can come with additional feelings of isolation, loneliness, depression, anxiety, disconnection in relationships, and general physical and emotional stress. Everyone responds uniquely to loss and there is not one specific “appropriate” response. You may experience phases in your grief or waves of emotions, thoughts, and physical symptoms as you try to cope with the grieving process.
How therapy can help you grieve
Therapy focused on processing and healing from loss and grief involves support, compassion, and various therapeutic strategies geared toward helping you to express and resolve the often complex and intense feelings and meanings brought up by the grief process. We aim to provide a knowledgeable, gentle, and supportive environment in which you can process what you need and develop the appropriate tools necessary to cope with whatever is happening in your life.
