Grief Therapy
Grief and loss therapy in Los Gatos, Campbell, and San Jose
People who are going through a grieving period in their lives often feel like they have been caught in a fog, not able to see the possibilities of healing that are just on the other side of their pain. Grief and loss can take many forms, but most commonly they manifest themselves in ways that make an individual feel hopeless, depressed, or ashamed of their immense feelings. However, it doesn’t have to be this way, and if you are experiencing grief, you don’t have to face it alone.
Grief Can Plague Your Mind
When an individual loses something close to them – a loved one, a house, a job, a pet – it can cause havoc on their emotional and mental processing. Everyone uniquely experiences grief, but some individuals can process these emotions faster than others. Both ways of addressing grief are valid. Sometimes it takes an “aha” moment to pull someone out of the fog, and other times it takes talking through and addressing grief head-on to be able to move forward. Whether you are trying to find your “aha” moment or simply looking for a space to explore how grief and loss have affected you, our practice is here to help.
Finding Meaning In Your Grief Therapy Equals Freedom
There is not a singular solution that can be found to help someone get over grief. It is a process of understanding your loss, how it impacted your life, and working towards healing the parts of yourself that were affected most when grief and loss struck your life.
While every individual’s reason for seeking grief therapy is different, the one thing that they all have in common is that they are looking for help to guide them past the loss and through the fog. Grief can be a powerful hindrance, but it can be an even greater motivator to help someone find meaning in their pain.
When someone experiences a great loss in their life, it can be easy to feel like that part of themselves has also been erased or removed, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. In reality, feeling heavily for what was lost is how you know you truly cared for it in the first place. With this care and love, you can find the space in your heart to recognize your pain, accept your loss, and move towards a future where grief may still hold a place, but does not define what the loss meant to you.
