Lifebulb’s compassionate grief counseling in Chestnut can help you navigate the grief process at your own speed, with the support of our licensed therapist. We're here to help you rebuild your life after loss while honoring your loved ones' memory. Grieving doesn't mean forgetting. Together we can find a way to honor your loved one’s memory while keeping yourself healthy.
Initially, everything might appear relatively normal as the reality of the situation sets in. You may experience a sense of numbness, confusion, or disorientation.
As the truth fully registers, you may come to terms with the unfairness of the situation, leading to feelings of anger directed at various targets, including yourself, loved ones, or the loss itself.
This stage is where individuals often feel "stuck." After the anger subsides, you may confront the somber realization that something irreplaceable has been lost. If you find yourself unable to move beyond this state of depression, grief counseling can provide assistance.
This phase marks the path toward acceptance, as you begin reaching out to loved ones, sharing your story, and searching for meaning in the circumstances.
Ultimately, acceptance signifies a return to a sense of normalcy and balanced functioning. It marks the initiation of a new, adjusted life.
Where do you draw the line between normal grieving and unhealthy grieving? Our therapists recommend reaching out if your grief is impairing your ability to complete work, socialize, or meet basic needs. Other symptoms of complicated grief include:
When left unattended, grief can fester into something heavier that significantly impairs your life. If you find yourself grappling with grief for longer than six months and don’t feel yourself getting better, a Chestnut grief therapist can help. Long-term effects of grief include:
Grief counseling can help you navigate the bereavement process and get out of complicated grief. The goal of our grief and loss therapist is to help you fully reintegrate into your life while honoring the memory of your loved one. We will never push you to move on faster than you are ready to or encourage you to forget your loss. Grief is tricky, but therapy can make it a little easier to manage. Counseling approaches our grief and loss therapists use include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
In grief counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) plays a pivotal role in assisting individuals dealing with complicated grief. It involves identifying and addressing repetitive thought patterns and behaviors that hinder the healing process. By reshaping these cognitive patterns, CBT helps individuals move forward and regain a sense of normalcy.
Interpersonal Relationship Therapy
Grief often leads to isolation and a distancing from loved ones, impacting vital relationships. Interpersonal relationship therapy in grief counseling focuses on strengthening these connections and recognizing the power of a support network. It offers guidance on rebuilding and maintaining bonds with friends and family, which is crucial for emotional healing.
Grief Support Group in Chestnut
Grief is a shared experience, and conversing with others who comprehend it can be immensely comforting. Lifebulb's grief support groups in Chestnut are open to anyone in mourning, with no prerequisite for individual grief counseling. These groups offer a safe and supportive environment to share experiences and find solace in the company of those who understand your pain.
Grief Counseling for Children
Children also experience grief, although their grief process is different from that of adults. Facilitating healthy grieving in children is pivotal for their emotional development. Grief therapy for kids in Chestnut employs specialized techniques like art and play therapy, which allow children to express their emotions in a way that feels natural and comfortable. These methods help children navigate their grief and begin the healing process.
