I want to help you find Grief Counseling Columbia Missouri.
Grieving someone who meant so much to you can be overwhelming and sometimes scary. You may even be upset that other people think they know the best path for you. I get it, your grief is yours. It won’t look like any other person’s journey. I want you to have a safe place to talk about where you are, what you want to do or not do, and thoughtfully choose where you want to go, a place to choose your own way to heal.
Grief therapy can help you to:
Have a safe, dedicated space to think about and feel what you need to as you process your loss.
When we have lost someone so close to us, it may feel as though nothing is the same and everything has changed. Having your own safe space can be your first step in caring for yourself. You may also feel like starting to think about what has happened will end by you becoming too emotional and “out of control,” and you can’t stop thinking about your loved one not being there. Taking time to sit with a counselor can allow you to go ahead and think about the joys, hurts, and sadness that comes with losing them. It will be your time to let yourself feel what you need.
Take care of yourself and become your best source of compassion as you heal.
You are the only person who knows what your loved one means to you and what you are feeling each day. Some days are really good, and others are full of anger, guilt, and sadness. On the tough days, it may be easier to try to shut down or want to run away. During counseling, you and your therapist can work on skills that help you stay compassionate to yourself to be your best each day.
Learn skills you can use to feel the big emotions that come with loss and minimize how they
may negatively impact your life.
No doubt you have felt the guilt, anger, and deep sadness (as well as other emotions) that come with losing your loved one. Sometimes it may even consume you to the point where you may be stuck, resentful, and confused by it. During counseling, your work will help you understand what to do with these emotions and how to move through them.
Develop an understanding of how you grieve and what you need right now.
The way you grieve is uniquely yours, and you are the most qualified person to know what you need. Talking about what you need and how you will get those needs met is a big part of grief counseling. It honors you and your loved one to make sure you understand what you need and that those needs are met for you to have a better life.
