Grief & Crisis

Get help processing your grief

Everyone experiences grief and crises at some point in their lives, and it often brings a range of complex and unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, physical reactions, and behaviors.

Many find support through conversations with friends, family, and their network. However, well-meaning advice such as “you’ll get over it,” “it will be better tomorrow,” “time heals all wounds,” or questions like “haven’t you moved on yet?” can often leave you feeling like you should be at a different stage in your process. If you don’t “get over” your grief or crisis after a while, it can feel as if you are doing something wrong.

It is important to know that everyone grieves and handles crises differently, and sometimes “giving it time” is not enough. Some people need help from a professional psychologist to learn how to live with the changes life has brought in a more appropriate way that requires less energy.

Get help understanding your grief and crisis

When you go through grief or a crisis, you may experience new physical sensations, emotional imbalance, and self-critical thoughts, which can lead you to act differently and perhaps less appropriately than before the crisis or grief occurred.

A psychologist can support you in better understanding your emotions and your grief, so you can accept how you feel. This can provide you with tools to act more effectively in everyday life and move forward in your grief or crisis process.
