Grief and Loss Therapy in Texas
At Symmetry Counseling in Texas, we understand that grief and loss can be overwhelming experiences. We are here to help you navigate the difficult emotions that come with grieving a loved one. Our grief and loss therapy services provide an understanding, non-judgmental environment where you can express your emotions and learn how to cope with the pain of loss.
While no two people will experience or express their grief exactly the same way, there are some common signs of grief, including:
- The loss or impending loss of a loved one, family member, or pet
- A pervasive sense of sadness without relief
- Withdrawal from family, friends, and normal activities
- Trouble sleeping and/or poor appetite
- Feelings of guilt about actions taken or not taken with regard to the loved one
- Disbelief or denial of loss
- Anger at self or others
- Spiritual distress, including the questioning of faith and anger at God
- Physical reactions, including tight feelings in the throat and chest, oversensitivity to noise, breathlessness, muscular weakness, and lack of energy
- Major physical, emotional, and cognitive changes
Grief Can Be Intensely Complicated
Grief is an incredibly complex emotion that can look and feel different for each person. No two experiences of loss are the same. The death of a parent due to a long-term illness or old age may lead to a different mourning process than the death of a child from a terminal illness. Similarly, the death of a partner or friend, the death of a child or parent, and the death of a loved one by suicide will each bring its own unique set of questions and reactions. No matter what type of loss you are dealing with, it is sure to be an extremely painful experience. At Symmetry Counseling, we provide understanding and compassionate grief and loss therapy services to help you process your emotions and move forward.
Let Symmetry Counseling Help You Process Your Grief
The grieving process for the loss of a loved one is unique to each individual and can vary greatly in terms of timeline and intensity. Grief has no timeline, and the pain of loss may remain with you for life, waxing and waning with the passage of time. While you may eventually be able to return to your daily activities, if intense symptoms of grief continue to interfere with your life, it is important to seek help. At Symmetry Counseling, we provide understanding and compassionate grief and loss therapy services to help you process your emotions and find peace. Our experienced counselors are knowledgeable in the process of loss and death and are able to provide culturally sensitive grief counseling.
