Helping Grief, Loss, PTSD Lené Douthett
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ARNP, PMHNP
Tumwater, WA 98501
Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. Some days you may feel functional, and other days the weight of loss hits without warning. If you’ve lost a loved one, partner, or close friend, you might feel stuck in waves of sadness, guilt, anger, or numbness. With PTSD, memories can intrude when you least expect them, disrupting sleep, concentration, and your sense of safety. Over time, it can feel like life kept moving forward while you were left behind, carrying pain no one else can see.

Is life throwing more at you than you know how to handle? Maybe you’re starting over after a breakup or divorce.

Even good changes can be overwhelming when everything feels unfamiliar. If you're feeling stuck, drained, or unsure of who you are in this new chapter, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it all on your own.

Do you ever wonder, “Why does everything feel so hard when it seems easy for everyone else?” Maybe your mind is always running, jumping between thoughts, forgetting small things, or overthinking every detail. You might feel overstimulated, burned out from masking, or stuck in patterns that leave you drained and frustrated. Whether it’s ADHD, Autism, anxiety, or just the exhaustion of trying to keep up, it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. Your brain simply works differently and that’s okay.

Emotionally Focused Psychiatrists
Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.

Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.

What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.

What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
