Grief and Loss

Grief is a deeply personal journey that can’t be hurried or bypassed, and in a world where there’s often pressure to "move on" quickly, it can leave you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. The loss of someone or something significant in your life often feels like the loss of a part of yourself. This is particularly true when you consider the emotional bonds you’ve formed, which make the experience of loss even more intense and painful.

Through an attachment-based approach, our therapists guide you in understanding the powerful influence your emotional connections have on how you experience grief. Attachment theory suggests that our early relationships shape how we bond with others and how we process loss. The connections we create throughout our lives provide us with comfort and stability, and when these bonds are disrupted, it can lead to feelings of instability and profound sorrow.

Grief is not just an emotional reaction, but a natural process that calls for the re-establishment of safety and connection in a world that feels uncertain. Our approach encourages you to honor your grief and fully process it, while integrating the memory of your loved one or experience in a way that keeps the bond alive.

As you navigate grief, we emphasize the importance of self-compassion and creating a new emotional foundation that offers stability. By reflecting on your emotions and attachment history, you can rebuild a sense of security and healing.

Our therapists are here to support you through each step of this journey, helping you understand that healing doesn’t mean forgetting but learning to live with the loss while continuing to cherish the meaningful connections that remain.
