Private/Personal Grief Relief Retreats
Integrative Grief Therapy: Degriefing@for the Bereaved
The private retreat is specifically tailored to accommodate each individual’s needs. Together through skillful communication we clarify the prominent issues to be addressed, length of retreat desired and modalities to incorporate. The cost is then determined.
This experiential retreat is for grieving individuals, couples and families interested in exploring their relationship to loss in their life.
In a personal retreat, due to the extended focus and hours, there is a continuation of exploration that deepens with each session. This affords the opportunity to explore issues and circumstances that have long since been held, carried by the body and identified by the mind as troublesome.
While each individual grieves in an entirely personal and unique way, there are aspects of bereavement that are universal. Supportive Degriefing integrative modalities employed are chosen by the client with supportive guidance of the therapist.
Since fresh loss and grief re-stimulates past events and the emotional components that surround the event; unresolved embodied grief lies in wait ready to create havoc. The grief attached to these events produce emotional pains and the physical discomforts that have been draining the individual’s life force and sense of well being, often resulting in maladies such as exhaustion and depression.
With the skillful use of observation, identification and evaluation the client is guided to revisit, re- evaluate and engage in the memories and the origins of each event. The client is supported to identify and express the underlying themes of loss and the subsequent stories and physical sensations that surround that event.
By recognizing the resulting disturbances that occur when these issues are re-stimulated, we can then assess available modalities for transformation. We employ the grief, using it as fuel to power the selected integrative activities.
The Degriefing approach offers the client specific choices as to how to finally embrace these long-held, compounded circumstances in their life that have regularly caused upheaval and negativity.
According to the premise that “we don’t get over our losses; we change relationship to them”; we consciously and gently realign ourselves for the highest good.
No previous therapeutic experience is necessary to benefit from this work. Private time is highlighted and encouraged for integration, honoring personal process and promote self-awareness.
A completed intake form and a phone interview is required for all Grief Relief Retreats.
