The changes that come with how you experience the world can feel and be wildly different once grief arrives.

And it has to because things changed that we can't undo or bring back.

But it can bring experiences of
Overwhelm
Fear
Deep sadness
Loneliness
Heartache
Vulnerability
Rawness
Despair
..when listening to songs you've always heard, books you've always read, shows/movies you've always seen, people you've always encountered.

It's not wrong or bad. It's existing with grief in it's fullest form.

It won't stay this way forever though ❤️

If you've life a space to talk about it, Lyndsay and I are here ❤️

Grief

When looking to work on past hurts, or traumas you have experienced, there are many ways to do it.

At DevanCecilia Counselling, we offer a few options.
Devan offers EMDR and TIR, and Lyndsay offers IFS.

EMDR is a process of watching your memories play out like watching an awful movie, while being distracted in the present moment by eye movements, or tapping, to create disconnection from yourself and the movie. EMDR also allows the verbal, non-verbal, and body sensation memories to communicate back together to reconnect the ruptures that occurred between them all during the event.

TIR offers a very similar approach to EMDR, however this process is done by speaking the process outloud repeatedly until the intensity of the event decreases.

IFS is a process where addressing the events directly may never be spoken or returned to, as IFS looks at the parts of your that were present then, and who has come forward to keep protecting you from the impact of that event, in a way that brings kindness, compassion, and communication together to ease the distress of the memory.

If you have been considering seeking counselling sessions for past traumatic events, contact us today if any of these options feel helpful!

Meditation, mindfulness, focusing, grounding, and somatic practices are various ways to describe intentional thinking and body practices to support yourself with reducing stress and cortisol, experience being in the present moment safely, regulated your nervous system, and develop and grow your emotional regulation capacities.

You can do them formally, like in a soundbath or meditation retreat, but you don't need to.

To bring safe, present, intentional, non-judgemental, emotionally regulated experiences into your life, it starts with just one breath, or one moment of noticing.

You can do this while brushing your teeth, walking, breathing, sitting, reading, eating, drinking, moving.

Notice your breath as it moves in and out.
Notice something you see, touch, or hear.
Take a moment to notice different parts of your body for a few seconds at a time.
Listen to a guided practice recording.

Taking intentional pause in your days for even one minute can create huge neauroplastic development and cognitive support, as well as emotional, physical, and behavioural experiences, over time.

Simple practices are a regular part of therapy work here at DevanCecilia Counselling to help you create capacities and skills you feel confident and capable of using to support yourself with at any moment needed outside of our counselling sessions.

If you'd like to learn more, or to develop your skills and confidence with these practices, contact us today at www.DevanCeciliaCounselling.com or book in directly with one of our counsellors at www.devanceciliacounselling.janeapp.com
