How Does Grief Counseling Work?
Grief counseling is a place where you can work through the pain of emotional and physical losses in a safe and compassionate way. Whatever emotions you’re feeling right now are completely valid, and in grief counseling you will gain tips and skills to better manage the emotional turbulence and anxiety that comes with loss.
In counseling sessions, you’ll also have the opportunity to reflect on the significance of the loss and discover unique ways to commemorate the life of those you’ve lost.
Experiencing a severe and traumatic loss can be a difficult time to cope with, however, treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy can be extremely beneficial in helping individuals work through the trauma.
Who Can Benefit From Grief Therapy?
Grief therapy can be beneficial for anyone who has experienced the death of a close friend or family member. It can also be helpful for those who are struggling with other types of losses, such as divorce, job loss, or illness.
How Long Does Grief Therapy Usually Last?
Grief counseling is a journey that is tailor-made to fit the individual’s needs. For some, brief, targeted sessions can be incredibly effective in alleviating negative emotions and other symptoms, helping them to move through the grieving process.
For others, the healing process may require a longer commitment and more extensive therapy, depending on the individual’s unique circumstances and desired outcome. Every person who comes to grief counseling is embarking on their own therapeutic path and is allowed to find their own way.

Benefits of Grief Counseling at Anchor Light
Grief and death can be intensely difficult to discuss, especially for those of us who are searching for solace in the comfort of our loved ones. Unfortunately, the support we receive (from family or friends) is not always as helpful as it could be, and sometimes causes more pain than relief.
That’s why it’s important to talk to a professional, licensed counselor for the following reasons:
- Provides a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore and process grief and loss.
- Offers the opportunity to process emotions associated with grief in an accepting and supportive atmosphere.
- Helps you gain insight into feelings and reactions to grief, so you can better understand your experience.
- Allows you to explore ways of coping with your loss in healthy ways.
- Encourages you to take steps towards healing and growth despite the pain of loss.
- Supports you in developing strategies for managing difficult emotions such as sorrow, guilt, anger, or fear that often accompany grief and loss.
- Assists you in adapting to life after a significant loss by helping you find meaning in a new reality and develop resilience for future challenges.
- Offers guidance on how to support family members who are also grieving the same loss, while honoring individual needs and experiences of grief within the family system.

What is Grief?
Grief is a response to loss that no one can escape. It encompasses a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness. It can be an intensely painful feeling, both emotionally and physically. It might be a deep sadness or a heavy heart, or even a sudden wave of dizziness or exhaustion.
But it doesn’t just come from suffering the loss of a loved one – grief can be experienced in response to any kind of loss, whether it be a job, a home, a pet, a friendship, or anything else. Each individual experience of grief is unique and different, and it’s often impossible to put into words.
But one thing is certain – grief is a powerful emotion that should be respected and honored for the strength and resilience that it brings.
You may benefit from online support groups to help fight grief.
