We All Hide Grief-Somatic Approach to Grief Counseling

Everyone has some grief they are running away from in their nervous systems.

It depends on what you are avoiding to help translate how much energy these past griefs take away from your current life.

The tamping down of these things could be why you still smoke, overeat or drink excessively at parties.

It also could be why you have IBS, are easily fatigued, or in chronic pain.

What emotional overwhelm are you desperately trying to avoid?

Is it unresolved grief from a divorce, death, miscarriage, abortion, or never having the parent you wanted?

Grief is heavy and thick and hard to swim through, so we usually cut it short.

Then it swims in our nervous system, only showing up occasionally, maybe when we are drunk, alone for long periods, with certain people, or in specific places.

Moments of stillness in Somatic Therapy when our bodies feel safe enough to touch on the grief that has been in the background for years, real change can occur.

When this allowing of hidden emotions occurs, the tamping down is no longer needed, and awareness of why we felt the need to hide it becomes clear.

With the acceptance of our grieving places, we can offer ourselves forgiveness, love, and compassion.

This process then changes our behavior in real-time because we no longer run from an emotion we fear will eat us alive.

Energy returns, pain decreases, choices about destructive habits begin to happen, and we can shift.

Somatic therapy is the best tool for handling grief that has been stuffed down in our nervous systems that I have ever encountered.
