Wherever There Is LOSS There Is SADNESS There Is GRIEF (a process of no specific order but signposts that point back to the NOW)
SHOCK-DENIAL “NO” [SUREAL]
ANGER-BLAME “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda” [FAULT]
BARGAINING [There must be another way] “Maybe Not!” [DESPERATION]
DEPRESSION (WET*) [Reality Of Loss Hits Fully] “It Really Happened!” [SOBER]
ACCEPTANCE (There is nothing I can do to bring it back) “It’s Over” [SURRENDER]
THE NOW (FLOW of the Present) “Here” [Resistance to Reality of Loss is Gone, and the NOW is present without the past preoccupying one’s attention and awareness] Individual Counseling Click Here•••••••Couple Counseling Click Here By Don Elium, MA MFT 925 256 8282 Walnut Creek, CA (*Note: If Depression process becomes very Dry—numb, hopeless, suicidal thoughts, plans, action----reach out for professional help immediately. Wet Depression is fluid with tears and many emotions that come and go and eventually provide relief. Dry Depression, if present for too long can become stuck and does not move one forward. Once can become stuck in any of the processes and that is the time to also reach out for professional help.)
To move forward and through grief, read Psychotherapy with EMDR and Psychotherapy with BSFF! |
