Many of us will have experienced the passing of someone close to us during our Lives. Some people are able to deal with the grief that inevitably follows such a loss; however for others it is not so easy to come to terms with the passing of someone close. This grief can last a long period and sometimes is constantly there. This then affects the quality of Life for that person to such an extent that gets in the way of them leading a fulfilling Life. Well the good news is Hypnotherapy may be able to help people who are suffering from a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bereavement sometimes also referred to as grief is a term used to describe the sense of loss felt when a loved one passes away. It can also be used in relation to other losses, for example, the loss of a friend, personal friend , a job or even on item of property such as a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sense of loss may contain a host of emotions such as: sadness, anger, guilt and\/or frustration and anxiety and any loss involves a loss of self: self-esteem, self-worth, self value and\/or self-validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A system of healthy processing of bereavement and loss tends to occur over a period that will vary from individual to individual. There will be a natural reduction of the emotive response, with acceptance and integration of the loss into the individual\u2019s Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is thought there are four stage of bereavement processing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Acceptance of the loss ie that it has really happened<\/li>
  2. Experiencing and processing the pain of grief<\/li>
  3. Adjusting to Life without the person who has died\/item that has been lost<\/li>
  4. Putting less emotional energy into grieving and more into something new ie moving forward<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Conventional Treatment <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Conventional routes to dealing with grief include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Support from friends and family<\/li>
    2. Religion and faith support groups<\/li>
    3. Talking therapies including group sessions<\/li>
    4. Charities and organisations such as CRUSE (www.cruse.org.uk) can offer support, guidance and advice<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If the symptoms persist or there is a profound low mood, then a GP appointment is indicated for either medication or a referral to a psychologist. However, for an alternative and natural solution, people can try Hypnotherapy .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So How Can Hypnotherapy Help?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

      I will work with you to first to understand at what stage of the bereavement process you are currently at and to understand how your bereavement is affecting you. I will then agree with you what positive outcome(s) you want  from working with them using hypnotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I will then explain the relevant techniques that will suit you best and to agree on the way forward ie to agree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • The number of sessions you may need or you can just proceed one session at a time \u2013 it is entirely up to you
        <\/li>
      • Whether or not some self-hypnosis between sessions and\/or after the sessions have ended would be beneficial for you
        <\/li>
      • Whether or not some additional work between sessions that you can do yourself would help your progress in dealing with your issue(s)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Grief can last a long period and sometimes is constantly there. This then affects the quality of Life for that person to such an extent that gets in the way of them leading a fulfilling Life. Well the good news is Hypnotherapy may be able to help people who are suffering from a loss. Rest assured that by collaborating and working together with me, you can achieve the positive changes you are looking for. For a free initial discussion about what hypnotherapy is (and isn't!!) and how it might help you, please contact me. I am based in Winchester; however, Hypnotherapy works just as effectively on-line as well as in person.
