Grief Counselling & Therapy
People come and go in our lives, but there are some who stay in our hearts and tie us to them forever. However, if something happens and they die, it can rip one's heart apart, leaving one with brokenness that can last for years. In addition to the other services I offer, grief counselling is on the list. Using talk therapy has the potential to make a significant effect. It lightens the strain and gives our hearts and minds some breathing room to cope with what came to pass.
Therapy Session Online or in Person
If you are not familiar how holistic counselling or therapy works, you are welcome to contact me for more in-depth information, but let's start with the basics first. The first session is primarily about gathering information and establishing your counselling requirements so that I can work with you more effectively. Second, I will provide you with options on how I may assist you.
On the other hand, talk therapy is the most typical starting point, and it is much more than simply listening to how you feel about the current or recalling earlier events. Talk therapy is a mastered talent with a rich technical basis that involves active listening, positive regard, and a variety of other factors to consider.
Another effective approach for overcoming the pain of grief is increased awareness and the ability to self-regulate negative feelings and emotions. The feelings and emotions you might be going through would be considered 'normal' for the situation.

Refections on Holistic Wellness & Grief
I lost my husband several years ago, and the event was heartbreaking for me. It took me years to conquer, and now that I understand the holistic wellness concept and how to apply it, I can see how useful it can be for someone like me.
Talk therapy and speaking with a professional were also beneficial to me. It felt like a breath of fresh air to me, and it gave me motivation to keep pushing forward and reclaim my desire to live. Seeing a professional is beneficial.

Leilani
My girlfriend suddenly became ill and died. It was the last thing I had anticipated to happen. I was in shock. But seeing a holistic wellness counsellor offered me the strength to overcome my emotional agony.
What I enjoyed about the holistic approach was the ability to rekindle the will to live by making modest changes in one's life, just enough to manage, and finally being able to accept what had happened.

Holistic Talk Therapy for Grief
Talk therapy is a valuable element when dealing with grief and sorrow. Talk therapy operates on the notion that everything is interrelated. Furthermore, Holistic wellness operates on the same premise. The principle underlying talk therapy is that our thoughts impact our feelings and emotions, which drive our conduct and reinforce the way we think. Knowing this, we can use this scientific discovery for dealing with grief.
Talk therapy is one of the most popular methods for reducing negative feelings. When it comes to dealing with grief or mourning, we are confronted with a cascade of unpleasant emotions such as anger, depression, or guilt. When we begin to overanalyse or overthink things, it can affect our sleeping patterns and other aspects of our lives. Knowing this is why seeing a counsellor is so crucial.
When we combine talk therapy and holistic wellbeing, we get something lot more than just therapy. Knowing this distinguishes holistic wellness from ordinary talk therapy. Holistic therapy helps to restore and maintain balance in your life by implementing tiny lifestyle modifications as we go. Holistic wellness may not be seen as a quick path to wellness, but it can provide long-term stability.
I employ the concept of holistic wellness to promote emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence involves improving self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, willpower, empathy, and social skills. This can be quite beneficial for someone healing from trauma .
Furthermore, depending on the type of the trauma, someone who has been subjected to emotional abuse is likely to experience low self-confidence and self-worth. This can lead to emotional dysregulation and passive anger, which promotes self-rejection.
Not only that, but we can consider spiritual components of our well-being, such as sense of belonging, life's purpose, or transcendence. Transcendence is stepping outside of our lives and looking inside. This can help with trauma healing.
Finding yourself again, personal identity, and making peace with what has happened in your life are all part of trauma rehabilitation. Consider it a fresh start in life, where we can learn from and profit from our experiences.

For additional information on holistic wellbeing, Bill Hetler established it in the 1970s, and the concept is still used today. It is considered that the seven major areas of wellbeing are interrelated and can aid in trauma healing. Consider it your first line of defence for emotional and mental well-being.
To continue, there are seven components of holistic wellness: emotional, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, occupational, physical, and social. It is believed that working on these important areas can improve your quality of life with the potential to reducing unpleasant feelings and thoughts. In addition, it can lowering your risk of acquiring mood or mental problems, particularly when it comes to trauma counselling.
