Can EMDR help my grief?

Grief can sometimes feel unbearable. 

A traumatic loss may leave our nervous system on alert for threat. 

A loss that we grieve privately can feel isolating. 

Grief can leave us feeling, "Could I have done something differently?" Absorbing responsibility, even when we rationally understand that it is not our responsibility, can temporarily give a sense of control. 

The looping of "what if," can take a toll. 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps by allowing the brain to access safety. The grief is yours to hold and to make meaning. How you walk with it is yours. EMDR allows the emotions and the held physical tension to be expressed without overwhelm. And we can involve your passed loved one in this process.
