Embracing Grief: A Journey of Connection

Welcome to our Grief Therapy Group, a supportive space designed for individuals navigating the complex emotions associated with loss. In this group, we will explore the multifaceted nature of grief through a systems perspective, integrating concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM).

A systems perspective recognizes that individuals are not isolated entities but are deeply influenced by their relationships, environments, and the broader social context. This approach allows us to understand how grief affects not only the individual but also their connections with family, friends, and community. By viewing grief through this lens, we can identify patterns, dynamics, and interactions that may be contributing to our emotional experiences. This holistic understanding fosters a greater sense of empathy and connection, both with ourselves and with others who are also navigating their grief.

Grief can manifest in various ways, impacting not only our emotional well-being but also our relationships, sense of self, and overall life experience. Our group provides a compassionate environment where participants can share their stories, express their feelings, and connect with others who understand the journey of grief.

Using the IFS model, we will delve into the different 'parts' of ourselves that emerge during the grieving process. This approach encourages self-compassion and awareness, allowing individuals to recognize and honor their unique experiences of loss. By understanding these inner dynamics, participants can cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and their emotions.

Incorporating NARM principles, we will also address the impact of relational patterns and attachment styles on our grief responses. This perspective emphasizes the importance of recognizing how our past experiences shape our current emotional landscape. Together, we will work towards healing and integration, fostering resilience and personal growth.

Our group sessions will include guided discussions, mindfulness exercises, and opportunities for personal reflection. Participants will be encouraged to share at their own pace, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.

Join us in this healing journey as we navigate the complexities of grief, honor our losses, and discover pathways to renewal and hope.
