Farewell, loss and transitions
Support at times when something familiar is ending and what comes next has not yet taken shape.
Farewells are part of life, yet they can shake everything. A person dies, a relationship ends, or a profession or phase of life comes to a close. Sometimes a change has been chosen and still brings grief, uncertainty or disorientation.
What is here may be here
Grief and transitions do not follow a fixed timetable. There is no single correct way to deal with them. In our shared space, words may emerge – or be absent. Emotions can be present without having to be explained or hurried.
Including the body
Loss and change are often experienced physically as well: as tightness, restlessness, exhaustion, immobility or a lack of ground. Conversation, body awareness, breathing, movement, rituals and attentive touch can offer different ways of approaching this experience.
Support without a predetermined goal
Body-oriented and body-psychotherapeutic support can help to give space to what has happened, perceive physical responses and gradually find your own way of relating to the changed situation. The aim is not to put a loss behind you as quickly as possible.
Severe or persistent psychological crises may require additional psychotherapeutic or medical support.
Medical context
Symptoms whose cause is unclear or that could indicate a serious condition should be medically assessed. My work does not replace necessary medical treatment. I am not aware of scientific recognition of the effectiveness of the methods and approaches I use.
