Definition
Grief is the normal emotional experience we have in response to life events involving loss. The feelings that you experience when you are grieving are healthy and are a part of the ‘healing process’. Failure to experience and express these feelings will often lead to illness, both physical and psychological.
Grief and Loss
Loss can be categorized as either physical or abstract, the physical loss being related to something that the individual can touch or measure, such as losing a spouse through death, while other types of loss are abstract, and relate to aspects of a person’s social interactions.
Grief is the emotional suffering one feels when something or someone the individual loves is taken away. The grief associated with death is familiar to most people, but individuals grieve in connection with a variety of losses throughout their lives, such as unemployment, ill health or the end of a relationship.
Treatment
Treatment includes helping people to live without what they lost. Therapist helps clients frame and identify what a person who’s suffered a loss may be feeling. In addition therapist will be credited with bringing mainstream awareness to the sensitivity required for better treatment of people who are dealing with a fatal disease.
According to Psychodynamic Therapy, behavior is influenced by unconscious thought, and once vulnerable or painful feelings are processed the defense mechanisms reduce or resolve.
Unlike most therapies that focus on the past and the present, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) focuses on the future. The solution oriented approach views solution building as different from problem solving.
