Grief and Bereavement
“We live in a world that does not value life. On the whole we are surrounded by or are witness to atrocity and carnage that should be the exception not the rule. This is not the cruelty and inevitability of our nature, or is it? Are we no better than the ferocity of the natural world? The opposite certainly exists too. Our capacity to love, create, grow, build and nurture. Where is the balance? Can’t we have the latter without the former? Isn’t the inevitability of death and destruction by natural causes enough to compel us not to create it through deliberate destruction? Isn’t the beauty enough to strive for or is that what we fight for when it is threatened?”
Trauma Informed Therapy
Navigating the source, triggers, impact of, and remedy for trauma safely occurs best when contained in a professional therapeutic space, with evidence-based theoretical foundations and methods. Of course, ultimately, a client-led, autonomous approach works best, giving individuals agency over their own decision-making abilities and strengths. However with the right guidance and support, you are more likely to get a quality and long-term result than if you continue in survival mode, skirting around the issues alone. Making informed choices through a robust, trustful therapeutic alliance is protective, and facilitates the safe exploration of ideas and options.
The Pathway to Authentic Identity
Eventually, what starts to happen is that Clients begin to arrive at the realisation that their experiences, while unique to them, are also not uncommon. The isolation of the crisis begins to dissipate and a broader context starts to take shape.
