GRIEF THERAPY SERVICES
Find your path to acceptance by working with a grief counselor at Neumo.
You do not have to face the grief journey alone.
Grief is commonly associated with death. However, not only do the symptoms of grief occur after the loss of a loved one, but they can also occur as a result of a change in identity, loss of physical function, or even loss of a part of your lifestyle. You may find yourself feeling lonely, lost, and unable to manage overwhelming emotions. Common symptoms of grief can mimic those of depression and/or anxiety. There may also be problems with sleep (see sleep therapy services). You might struggle to express grief, leading to depressive symptoms. Or the oppposite may be true and you may struggle to contain their grief, leading to anger and outbursts. While the emotions are clear, sometimes the way out is not. Partnering with a grief counselor can help to make the path to acceptance possible.
What do I have to gain by seeking grief therapy?
Whether you are currently grieving, or perhaps even just expecting to grieve, your future does not have to suffer. When you find the correct footing for your grief, you will feel the freedom and ability to express whatever emotion may come. Over time, you will be able to see progress you have made through certain feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Towards the end of this journey, you will be able to accept a new normal and perhaps even find a greater ability to experience appreciation and gratitude.
Grief counselors are available to join you in your experience.
Grief can be a dark and confusing experience. However, that path does not have to be taken alone. The role of a grief counselor at Neumo is to be a companion on that path, helping to sort out a new sense of normal that can lead to an even greater appreciation and understanding of who you are. The goal of grief therapy is not to forget or stop emotions from occurring. It is to experience and honor a difficult part of life, one that is often avoided in our current society. In doing so, you can find new sources of comfort and acceptance for all of the challenges you may face in being your best self. Talking with a grief counselor offers a safe space to be able to explore loss, expectations, and consider healthier perspectives designed to avoid the suffering you can create for yourself in difficult times. Grief counselors are here to help you find your way again.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to wait for loss before I start grief therapy?
No. Anticipatory grief, or the experience of knowing/expecting loss, can be just as debilitating as grief itself. If you are concerned about your reaction to grief, whether the loss happened years ago, is currently happening, or has a chance of happening in the future, now is the time to act.
What can I expect to feel when I have reach my goals with a grief counselor?
While each case is unique, part of the counseling process is to discuss expectations of what it means to reach the acceptance phase of grief. This is unique to each individual client, but often times we will discuss the concept of a ‘new normal.’ This does not mean that the pain is necessarily gone, but it can mean that you have identified and minimized the suffering created for yourself.
What if I am not experiencing any of the symptoms listed above after loss? Is grief therapy still for me?
Grief can present in a multitude of ways. While sadness may be the most commonly identified experience, there are other ways in which grief can manifest. Some individuals report experiencing numbness or disconnection from self and others. Others turn to unhealthy coping skills such as drinking or sleeping as an escape. If you have any concerns about your own process, reach out to speak with a grief counselor today.
