I often use Compassion-Focused Therapy in my practice. It helps you accept emotions, reduce self-criticism, and embrace kindness towards yourself in difficult times. Through guided exercises, you'll develop emotional resilience, balance painful feelings, and foster a compassionate inner voice, aiding healing and personal growth during your grieving journey.
