How to Get the Most from Trauma and Grief Counseling Sessions
At Morgan Center for Counseling & Wellbeing, we understand how trauma and grief can cause challenging, often unwanted, obstacles in daily life. After experiencing a traumatic event, it is common to feel a rush of emotions, including anger, sadness, depression, and sometimes we experience shock, denial, confusion, and even a sense of dissociation from the surrounding world.
One of the best ways to overcome your struggles is to reach out for help with trauma and/or grief counseling. Morgan Center for Counseling & Wellbeing is passionate about assisting you in becoming a happier, healthier version of yourself. We recognize grief and trauma counseling can be overwhelming, so we want to make your journey in therapy easier.
Here are suggestions on how to make the most of your grief and trauma counseling sessions:
Be open and honest. We know pouring out your life story can be scary and anxiety-provoking, but hiding details about your thoughts and troubles will only hinder your healing journey. The key to succeeding in therapy is to share everything that is on your mind, even the details that seem insignificant.
Build a trusting relationship with your therapist. It’s hard to establish trust after one conversation, but over time, your therapist should become someone you value, respect, and trust. As you connect more, the therapeutic relationship will grow stronger, and you will see the benefits of that bond as you heal.
Try each recommendation at least once. During sessions, your therapist will go over various coping techniques for reducing the daily impact of the traumatic experience. These skills can be powerful tools you can use to help reduce negative impacts you are feeling. To know what helps best, it is important to work with your therapist to understand the skill and to try it outside of therapy as well.
Keep a journal on your progress. With all the busyness of life, it can be difficult to remember how you are progressing. Keeping track of what’s working, and what’s not working, in a journal can keep your sessions effective.
Give it time. Healing your wounds, both physical and mental, takes time. Be patient, and give your mind the time it needs to recover. Therapy is not often a quick fix.
Following these recommendations will enhance your progress during trauma and grief counseling sessions. Regardless of where you are in your healing journey, Morgan Center for Counseling & Wellbeing is here to give you hope that overcoming your trauma or grief is possible. Schedule with us today!
