GRIEF THERAPY
A gentle, evidence-based approach to finding peace after loss using IADC.
Induced After Death Communication
Losing someone you love can hurt so deeply that life begins to feel meaningless.
Grief can sit like a weight on your chest, stealing joy and making it hard to move forward while the world carries on around you.​
​
For many people, that pain softens over time. Little by little, life becomes more manageable again.
But for some, it doesn't.
The heaviness stays.
The grief remains raw.
And no matter how much time passes, the sense of loss still feels just as present.
​
Induced After Death Communication (IADC) is a specialised, evidence based grief therapy designed to support people who feel stuck in unresolved grief.
It provides a safe, contained, and natural therapeutic process to help you process the emotional pain connected to the death of a loved one and find a sense of peace and resolution.
​
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.”
