Everyone eventually encounters two kinds of loss: the death of a loved one and ambiguous loss. Both can leave us feeling fragmented, disoriented, and overshadowed by grief. They can also stir up earlier losses, which may surface as depression focused on the past or anxiety about the future. Ambiguous losses are unresolved emotional issues or events that put a strain on everyday life. Unspoken feelings of loss result in anger, sometimes hatred, and abandonment. Feelings of helplessness and unspoken fears leave feelings of being lost in a fast-paced world that feels like it is passing you by.
How psychotherapy helps.
Psychodynamic therapy helps with grief by exploring the deeper emotional meaning of the loss and how it may connect to earlier relationships and past experiences. It can help people understand why the loss feels especially painful, complicated, or overwhelming. This approach is often useful when grief reveals unresolved feelings
Therapy is about a relationship with both the therapist and your significant others including your self-love. Curiosity in therapy will acquaint you with the narrative that forms your relationship with your mind, body, and soul. Telemedicine works, convenient, safe, and very freeing.
