Do I Need Grief Counseling?

Ultimately, the decision to seek out grief counseling (or grief therapy, as it’s referred to interchangeably) will be up to you in most cases. However, there are several advantages to consider when comparing grief counseling services to struggling with your loss alone. 

For starters, some of the most difficult aspects of the grieving process includes the intense emotions that typically follow. grief counseling can assist you in working through: 

• Sadness and apathy: Losing someone or something you love can make even getting out of bed difficult. grief counseling can help you cope. 
• Anger and frustration: When you’re suffering from grief, you might become angered at all the ways the loss might never have happened, if only “x,y,z” never occurred. With a grief therapist’s assistance, you can analyze the situation from multiple angles, learning to forgive yourself and others in the process. 
• Fatigue and difficulty sleeping: Grief affects our body, as well as our mind. It’s not uncommon to suffer from insomnia, or even hypersomnia. But with a therapist’s help, you can learn to unwind before bed, so that you are more prepared to tackle the next day’s challenges successfully. 
• Denial: One way our minds might try to process our loss is to deny that it has even occurred—but this doesn’t work forever. And the longer this stage of the grieving process goes on, the harder it is to move forward. grief counseling can assist you in processing your grief at your own pace, while still helping you to remain grounded in reality. 

How Does Grief Counseling Work?

Grief counseling isn’t a single therapeutic approach. It’s a set of associated counseling methods that target and treat different aspects of grief and loss. At Thriveworks San Antonio, your grief therapist may utilize one or more of the following grief counseling methods in your sessions, including: 

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)  
• Family or Group Therapy 
• Art Therapy
