Find yourself in the throes of intense grief and loss?
Kemptville Traumatic Grief therapeutic support group
Traumatic grief is described as being more intense, debilitating and longer lasting than other forms of grief. Severe loss can feel like the bottom has dropped out of your world and can bring you to your knees. It creates havoc and you can experience harsh and relentless emotional, psychosocial and somatic responses. Grief is so personally unique and ever changing that getting your hands around it may seem impossible. When traumatic grief is denied, ignored or buried alive our essence and vitality is buried with it.
When one is pretending, the entire body revolts.
~ Anaïs Nin
Winds of Change offers a compassionate space where you will be welcomed into our community. You will be heard, validated and accepted. Here, you will have the foundation to get back on your feet and slowly move forward while continuing to honour your loved one. You will learn healthy coping techniques; improve your understanding of responses to grief and societal obstacles. We’ll integrate and transform buried emotions like guilt, shame and anger (which often manifest as depression and anxiety). You will learn powerful tools of ritual, self care and self compassion that you can use to process grief, improve self confident and improve acceptance and resiliency. Moving through grief is a process of ebb and flow.
