​​
​People experience loss in very different ways.
​
For some, grief feels overwhelming. Life may feel heavy or hard to move through. The pain can sit in the body, and getting through the day may feel exhausting.​ For others, grief is quieter. You may feel mostly okay, yet still think of your loved one often. You might carry a soft sadness, miss them deeply, or simply wish you could feel close again.​ And for some, it’s not crisis at all. You may just want peace, closure, reassurance, or one last emotional hug.​ You don’t need to be broken to seek healing.
​
Over time, many people find their grief softens and life becomes more manageable again.
But sometimes the emotional impact of loss doesn’t fully resolve.
​
For some, the pain feels unresolved.
For others, there’s quiet sadness or lingering emotion.
And for some, it’s simply about finding peace, connection, or closure.
​​​
​​
​​There are also moments that can unexpectedly bring feelings back to the surface. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Special dates. Even ordinary days when something reminds you of them.
At those times, you might wish you could talk to them, give them a call, or simply have one more hug.
​
Sometimes it’s a feeling of deep undescribable pain
Sometimes it’s guilt or regret.
Sometimes it’s quiet sadness or longing.
And sometimes it’s simply missing their presence and wanting to still feel connected.
Induced After Death Communication (IADC), is a specialised, evidence based grief therapy designed to gently help resolve unresolved loss. It provides a safe, contained, and natural therapeutic process that supports emotional release, nervous system calm, and a new perspective around the pain and feelings you have around the loss.
​
I offer IADC as a private 2 day intensive, allowing space for deeper emotional processing and meaningful inner experiences to unfold.
​
Many people worry that working with grief therapy means letting go of their loved one.
In reality, IADC is connection focused grief therapy.
Rather than weakening your bond, it often strengthens it.
​
IADC helps reduce sadness, calm the nervous system, and gently shift how loss is held in the body. But most importantly, it helps restore a sense of connection that may feel distant right now.
​
Clients commonly describe feeling lighter, more peaceful, and emotionally settled, with a renewed sense of closeness and clarity.
​
You don’t lose your connection.
You transform it.
Instead of carrying pain, you carry love.
Instead of heaviness, you feel peace.
Instead of longing, you feel connected.
​
IADC therapy is offered in person in Williams Landing, Victoria, or online via Zoom, allowing you to access support in a way that works for you.
​
​​IADC is grounded in EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, a well established and evidence based therapy used globally to help the brain process emotional experiences that have become stuck or unresolved. EMDR works by calming the body’s stress response and supporting the brain’s natural ability to process stored emotional pain.
​
Using the same proven bilateral stimulation techniques as EMDR, IADC is specifically focused on grief and loss. Rather than analysing grief or trying to make sense of it, IADC allows the nervous system to settle so the mind and emotions can process what has been too painful or overwhelming to resolve.
​
Many people experience a softening of emotional pain, moments of relief, or a sense of peace or closure. For others, the shift is quieter, but still deeply meaningful. Each experience is personal and unfolds in its own way.
​
There is no hypnosis, no suggestion, and no expectation of what you should experience. Clients remain fully aware and in control throughout the session. The process simply creates space for the weight of grief to ease, allowing healing, integration, and a gentler connection to life to slowly return.

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.”
