FAQs About Grief Counseling
We’ve answered common questions about grief counseling to make reaching out easier. Contact us anytime with additional questions.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), grief is the emotional pain that comes after experiencing a loss. While this looks different from person to person, many people experience similar feelings, such as sadness, anxiety, and confusion.
While grief may never disappear completely, it tends to taper off after a while. However, some people experience something known as complicated grief. With complicated grief (also known as prolonged grief disorder), the intensity of grief lingers long after the loss has occurred. This can make it difficult for a person to live their daily life.a
For many people, grief is associated with the loss of a loved one. While death is certainly a major loss, it’s not the only kind we may experience. There are several other life experiences that can lead to feelings of grief. Here are just a few examples of the different types of loss.
- Death of a family member, pet, or other loved one
- A breakup or divorce
- Losing a job or your financial security
- Moving to a new home
- Being diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness
- Loss of a role or identity, such as parents whose children have recently moved out
Any form of loss can lead to a grief reaction. Even if the life change we experience is “positive” (such as moving to a new city for an awesome career opportunity), we can still experience grief.
When dealing with loss, it’s important to allow ourselves to embrace whatever emotions arise. Check out my blog post on coping with loss for more tips on how to take care of yourself during this challenging time.
Psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross pioneered the theory of the five stages of grief. According to her theory, the stages of grief are
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
This theory was originally created to describe the lived experience of patients who were diagnosed with a terminal illness. Some people find these stages helpful in understanding the grieving process. However, it’s important to understand that they were not intended to be a step-by-step formula for how to grieve.
Some symptoms of prolonged grief disorder include disbelief surrounding the loss, intense emotional pain, a sense of meaninglessness, and even suicidal thoughts.
If you are in severe emotional distress and need immediate assistance, please contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or visit your local emergency room.
No matter which type of grief you’re experiencing, know that you deserve support. Despite being part of the human experience, grief is still incredibly painful. Working with a grief therapist can help you make sense of your emotions and understand how to care for yourself as you navigate loss.
Loss is often an incredibly vulnerable experience, and it can be difficult to reach out for support. Whether you’re coping with the loss of a loved one, a piece of your identity, or another form of loss, our therapists are here to support you.
Each person’s experience with grief and loss is different, and we want to help you grieve in your own way. Together, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique situation in order to give you the most effective support possible.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is another cornerstone of our practice. We want to help you feel safe expressing any emotions you have about your loss. Sadness, anger, confusion, relief, joy, and even numbness are all welcome in our virtual therapy room.
Grief counseling isn’t about forcing you to “move on” or “get over” your loss. Rather, it’s about understanding and embracing your feelings. By fully processing your emotions, you can learn how to live with your loss in a healthy, meaningful way.
There are many different therapeutic approaches that can be used to help people cope with grief and loss. For example, we use emotionally-focused individual therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as other methods.
In one study with children, grief counseling was provided in a play-based format. Other therapists may use approaches such as narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or even art therapy.
Aside from individual therapy, some people also find benefit from group therapy or informal support groups. There is no singular way to heal from loss, so it’s important to find what works best for you.
For those unfamiliar with the mental health world, it can be difficult to understand the different types of therapists and their qualifications. Here are a few examples of the kinds of mental health professionals who may provide grief counseling:
- Licensed mental health counselor
- Marriage and family therapist
- Licensed clinical social worker
- Psychologist
While the requirements for each professional are slightly different, all must meet rigorous standards in order to provide therapy. It’s best to check with your therapist to ask what training and experience they gave providing grief counseling.
Your therapist’s background and education are important, but it’s also essential to find someone who you feel comfortable talking with. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of counseling.
