Grief and Loss
The experience of grief or loss is an inevitable part of human life and often motivates many people to seek psychological treatment. Numerous types of feelings can accompany this life transition, including sadness, fear, anger, guilt, denial, confusion, or numbness. The response to a loss may happen soon after the event or it can be delayed for a long time. Current losses may bring up memories from long past experiences. Individual’s may have varying responses to loss and varying needs at these times, sometimes requiring space and privacy, other times needing contact and companionship. This may be upsetting and confusing, both to the individual suffering the loss and those with whom he or she interacts. Individual and, often, couple or family counseling can be very helpful in promoting adjustment to this life circumstance.
Depression is a common component of the grieving process, and sometimes requires professional intervention, especially if the depression continues beyond the first several months after the loss, or the reaction to the loss significantly interferes with the individual’s daily functioning.
Psychotherapy that evaluates and addresses the issues and feelings related to grief and loss can be very helpful in overcoming the accompanying depression, disturbing feelings and behavioral manifestations. Medication can also be very helpful for symptoms of depression that interfere with social or occupational functioning, such as frequent tearfulness, insomnia, inability to concentrate, loss of appetite, social avoidance, and feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.
For further information about treatment for grief or loss or to schedule an appointment, call our offices to speak to a therapist about your particular needs and concerns.
