Grief is a natural part of love. The pain of a emotional wound is often underestimated in our society. The way we in the West relate to death has become very distancing—almost unnatural. It's as if death has become detached from society.

When facing loss or experiencing the loss of a loved one, there is a grief that often puts one in a sort of social isolation because death/loss has become so distant for us. If you have lost someone or are facing illness, you may need to talk to someone about everything stirring inside you. Critical illness can also be a burden for family members, and they can receive support in figuring out how to cope with the situation. The most natural situation would be to have a family member, friend or close colleague to talk with. But we dont always have these social ressources and some might not wish to "bother" them too much.

Grief and emotional wounds are something we can work on in the therapy room. We explore all emotions, the relationship with the dying, deceased, or the partner who has left you.

Grief is not something we can remove. Grief must have space and be accommodated. It's not about "moving on" or "Now it's been 3 months, so I should be able to function normally as before."

Grief is a natural part of life, and therapy focuses on being with it — talking about it. In a mindful, heartwarming and emphatic way.

Overloaded Nervous System - Stress
After a long period of pressure on the soul and emotions following grief or crisis, such as losing a job, the stress reaction can manifest in the body as what we broadly call stress. And it should be taken seriously when you feel unable to handle your daily life. When even the smallest thing feels burdensome. Make sure to seek help to get through that period, so it doesn't escalate.

Divorce, Rejection, Abandoned, Alone in the World
Grief after a divorce is equated with the loss of a death. Have you lost your partner because they left you, divorced, or are you heading towards a divorce? Do you need a space to process all the ambivalent feelings?

Are you anxious and feel completely alone in the world? Do you feel that family and friends have listened to too many things? Do you have no one to talk to about your pain?

Emotional wounds and scars need to be met with the time and understanding required. Rejection can create such deep wounds; we call it "psychic death."

Psychic wounds, Emotional Processing
Throughout life, we will experience emotional wounds, and some hit harder than others.

Almost no matter how resilient we are, rejection from someone we love can threaten our sense of self-worth, and it can have lasting consequences. In some cases, seeking professional help may not be necessary. Family and friends can be fantastic supporters. However, there may be difficult emotions that a professional therapist can better assist you in processing. Unprocessed grief and depression can lead to mental illness.
