Peacock hypnotherapy

When a loved one passes away, the most natural thoughts are of overwhelming sorrow, questions of “could I have, prevented it” we could question our own mortality. A feeling of guilt for the endless list of things we could have done and said. Even survivor’s guilt. All these thoughts are our primitive brains reacting to the absolute shock of what’s happened.

Of course, this is different for every one of us. Still, if left unresolved, the feelings and thoughts can become overpowering and take over daily functioning, affecting the people around us and us damaging our home life and impacting our workplace.

So how does Solution Focused Grief Hypnotherapy help?

Like many thoughts in our mind, Grief becomes consuming; it reminds us constantly and drags our moods down and exhausts us physically. So we are less able to cope with those around us, impacting home life and our work life.

It becomes our focal point; it becomes our everything.

Getting rid of overpowering grief is not about watering down or forgetting about the person you love; it’s about focusing on this life with all its wonderful gifts and remembering that person as they would want, not with overwhelming sadness, but with gratitude and love for the times you shared and the memories you have. They wouldn’t want you to crumble and be in pain; they would want you to laugh and smile at the times you have shared.

It’s about not having the pain cut so deep.

These are some of the ways Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help.

Solution-focused hypnotherapy (SFH) can be a valuable tool in helping individuals cope with grief by focusing on emotional healing and building resilience. Grief is a deeply personal and often overwhelming process, but SFH offers a structured approach to support individuals through it. Here’s how it can help:

Rather than dwelling on the pain and sadness of loss, SFH helps individuals focus on how they can move forward in a positive and meaningful way. It encourages the development of coping strategies that support emotional resilience, empowering the individual to manage their grief with greater strength and hope.

Grief often comes with heightened anxiety, stress, and emotional turmoil. SFH helps reduce these feelings by inducing deep relaxation. This relaxed state allows the mind to calm, which can provide a much-needed break from the intensity of emotions during the grieving process.

Grief can trigger negative thought patterns, such as guilt, regret, or feelings of helplessness. SFH works by reframing these negative thoughts, helping individuals to see their emotions in a new light. The therapy guides clients to focus on moments of comfort and strength, helping them shift their mindset from loss to healing.

Although SFH is future-focused, it also provides a safe space for individuals to acknowledge and process their emotions. Through hypnosis, the therapist can help the client navigate difficult feelings, allowing them to release or understand emotions that might be overwhelming or suppressed, thus facilitating healing.

Grief can make it hard to imagine life beyond the loss. SFH encourages individuals to envision a future where they can find peace and joy again. By focusing on small, achievable steps toward healing, the therapy instills hope that life can gradually improve, helping the client build a sense of purpose and direction.

Grief can undermine a person’s confidence in their ability to function and move forward in life. SFH works by reinforcing positive self-beliefs and strengthening the client’s confidence in their ability to cope. This is particularly important for those feeling lost or powerless in their grief.

While grief cannot be “fixed,” SFH can help promote a sense of acceptance. The therapy helps individuals understand that although their feelings of loss are valid, they can also begin to integrate the memory of their loved one into their lives in a way that allows for healing and continued growth.

Grief often leads to intense emotional swings, from deep sadness to anger or frustration. SFH helps individuals regulate these emotions by teaching them to focus on their inner resources. This emotional regulation creates a more balanced response to grief, reducing overwhelming feelings and promoting emotional stability.

Over time, SFH helps individuals build emotional resilience by encouraging them to focus on their strengths and successes in coping with grief. This resilience is key to adapting to life after loss and finding new ways to experience joy and fulfilment.
