Grief Therapy
Whether you're struggling with the loss of a family member, friend, or pet, grief therapy can help you find healing and meaning in the aftermath of loss.
What are the Stages of Grief?
The stages of grief are a well-known model for understanding the emotional and psychological experiences that people may go through after losing a loved one. The most commonly recognized model of the stages of grief is the Kubler-Ross model, which includes five steps:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
These stages are not necessarily linear or experienced in a specific order. Some people may move through these stages quickly, while others may linger in one step for extended periods. Grief is a highly individualized experience, so not everyone will necessarily experience each stage. However, they can serve as a framework for understanding the complex emotional journey of mourning.
Types of Grief Counseling
General grief counseling helps people of all ages during their experience of normal emotional reactions after losing someone. It can help you find meaning and purpose in the aftermath of loss and identify healthy ways to honor and remember loved ones.
However, you may benefit from other forms of therapy if your grief is overwhelming or you find it difficult to cope. Below are affiliated options available to you.
BEREAVEMENT COUNSELING
Bereavement counseling is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals cope with grief and loss's emotional, psychological, and practical challenges (such as funeral planning).
COMPLICATED GRIEF THERAPY
Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT) is a specialized therapy that focuses on the prolonged and intense symptoms of complicated grief after losing a loved one.
GRIEF THERAPY
This form of therapy helps address behavioral and physical problems that people face in the aftermath of loss, especially when they cannot separate emotionally from the person who passed away.
TRAUMATIC GRIEF THERAPY
Traumatic grief therapy focuses on helping those experiencing intense grief reactions after a traumatic loss, such as sudden or violent death or one personally witnessed.
