“Healing is embracing what is most feared; healing is opening what has been closed, softening what has hardened into obstruction, healing is learning to trust life.”
Jeanne Achterberg
Normal, healthy grief is a natural and essential response to loss.
It is a highly individual process, and its duration and intensity can vary from
person to person and can also depend on the nature of the loss.
​
​
​
Over time, individuals typically begin to adjust to life without the person or thing they lost. While they may never "get over" the loss completely, they find ways to live with it and incorporate it into their lives.
​
It's important to note that what is considered normal grief can vary based on cultural, personal, and societal factors.
What's crucial is that grief is an individual experience, and there's no one-size-fits-all timeline or set of emotions that define "normal."
​
​
When should you be concerned about abnormal or complicated grief?
​
If you or someone you know is experiencing grief that significantly interferes with daily life, persists for an extended period without any improvement, or leads to self-destructive behaviours, it may be a sign of complicated grief or a related mental health issue.
If there are thoughts of self-harm or suicide, it's essential to seek immediate assistance from a mental health crisis hotline or a healthcare provider.
​
Ultimately, there is no fixed timetable for grief, and it's essential to be patient with yourself and seek support when needed to navigate the unique journey of healing after loss.
“The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is that life actually goes on. When you're faced with a tragedy, a loss so huge that you have no idea how you can live through it, somehow, the world keeps turning, the seconds keep ticking.”
​
James Patterson, Angel
How does an IADC therapy session work?
IADC Therapy typically consists of two sessions over consecutive days, focusing on alleviating grief-related sadness. It works best for those that are stuck in grief and cannot move past the trauma, sadness, guilt or loss.
This approach adapts elements from EMDR Therapy to achieve a higher level of resolution, fostering a receptive state. In this state, many clients report a profound and loving connection with their departed loved ones, often through sensory experiences or a sense of their presence.
​
Individuals who undergo successful IADC Therapy commonly report a significant reduction in grief-related sadness stemming from the loss of a loved one. They often find closure for any unresolved issues in their relationship with the deceased and gain reassurance about their loved one's well-being.
Most importantly, clients frequently describe a profound sense of connection with their loved ones and a transformative shift in their feelings of separation.
​
It's worth noting that belief systems do not impact the effectiveness of IADC Therapy, and the treatment does not propose a specific explanation for the experiences. Whether a client views these encounters as spiritual or grounded in neurobiology, the healing benefits remain consistent.
