What We Treat – Grief
Loss doesn’t have to feel so lonely.
Life will unfortunately always be filled with moments of loss. The most common is the death of a loved one. That loss may have come suddenly or have been one that happened over a prolonged period of time. It doesn’t matter how it happened or when, losing a loved one has an affect on you, on all of us. Grief is a process and not one that’s linear or the same for anyone.
But grief doesn’t just happen with the death of a person or pet. Grief can be any sort of major change in your life where your life has a drastic change. Divorce is a form of grief as you’re mourning the loss of the life that may have been.
Miscarriages, breakups, losing a job, having a debilitating injury or disease, or even moments like going to college away from home, becoming an empty nester, aging, or even getting married can bring up feelings of loss and elements of grief of what you used to have.
In addition, grief can tend to cause physical stress on the body. Web MD describes grief increasing inflammation, which can worsen health problems you already have and cause new ones. Stress links the emotional and physical aspects of grief. The systems in the body that process physical and emotional stress overlap, and emotional stress can activate the nervous system as easily as physical threats can. When stress becomes chronic, increased adrenaline and blood pressure can contribute to chronic medical conditions. Research shows that emotional pain activates the same regions of the brain as physical pain.
The variety of feelings you have from grief are all valid and it can often feel lonely when others aren’t going through it or even in the same way as you. That’s where therapy can help.
Clinical mental health therapists have the training to help you navigate those emotions at the speed that’s right for you to help you begin to heal and move forward, not to forget, but to live in a space that feels more hopeful. Grief doesn’t have to feel isolating. We’re here to help.
