Understanding Grief and Loss – And How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Help

Grief is a deeply personal experience. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a long-held sense of identity, loss can leave us feeling like the ground beneath us has shifted. The emotions can come in waves, sadness, anger, confusion, numbness, and sometimes, just when we think we're coping, they surge all over again.

There’s no right or wrong way to grieve. But if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in the heaviness of it all, know this: you're not alone. And you don’t have to stay where you are.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, respectful way to navigate grief, helping you find moments of calm, meaning, and hope, one step at a time.

How Grief and Loss Can Affect You

Grief isn’t just about sadness, it can touch every part of your life. Here are some of the ways it might show up:

• Emotional overwhelm – waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or even relief, often without warning

• Difficulty sleeping or eating – the body’s response to deep emotional pain

• Numbness or disconnection – feeling distant from others, or like you’re just going through the motions

• Anxiety or fear about the future – especially after losing someone or something central to your sense of stability

• Struggles with identity or purpose – wondering who you are without what (or who) you’ve lost

These reactions are all normal. But they don’t have to last forever. Healing is possible, even if it doesn’t mean “moving on”—but rather, learning how to carry your loss differently.

What Is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines talking therapy with the soothing experience of hypnosis. It doesn’t ask you to relive painful memories or “fix” your grief. Instead, it gently supports your natural ability to heal and move forward… when you’re ready.

It’s not about forgetting. It’s about finding strength, peace, and even moments of light, as you begin to rebuild your life in the wake of loss.
