Grief can feel like being caught in a heavy fog, your world suddenly silent and still. Each day may begin with the sharp, painful reminder that someone you love is gone. That tightness in your chest, the lump in your throat, the knot in your stomach they’re all signals from your body that it’s struggling to process a loss that feels unbearable. Everyday life can feel paralysed, and even the simplest moments can seem overwhelming or empty.
Your mind is adjusting to a new reality — one where a significant part of your life, a person who mattered deeply, has physically and emotionally left you. This absence creates confusion and shock, making it hard to fully take in or accept what has happened. Denial, numbness, or disbelief are natural ways your brain protects you while it tries to catch up with this painful truth.
Moving forward isn’t about leaving them behind, it’s about finding a new way to carry them with you, in a way that feels healthy, sustainable, and honouring.
This is What We Know About Grief
Grief isn’t just emotional — it’s physical, neurological, and deeply biological. When you lose someone important, your brain and body enter a state of shock and adjustment. Your nervous system reacts as if it’s under threat, triggering a cascade of chemical and physiological responses, the tightness in your chest, the lump in your throat, the knot in your stomach, loss of appetite, exhaustion. These symptoms can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or paralysed in pain.
Your brain needs time, patience, and support to learn how to hold this new reality.
But here’s the truth: your brain is capable of change. It can create new neural pathways — ways of carrying your grief alongside your life without it overwhelming you. This rewiring allows you to carry your loss in a healthy way, making space for healing and for life to move forward.
How Grief Healing Hypnotherapy Can Help You
Grief healing hypnotherapy offers a compassionate, safe space to process loss and its impact on your mind and body — without pressure to “move on” or “get over it.” Through guided clinical hypnosis, I help you reach a calm, focused state where your subconscious mind is open to healing and change.
Together, we work to ease the physical sensations of grief, the tight chest, knot in the stomach, and exhaustion, helping your nervous system find calm and balance. I guide you in rewiring your brain to hold your grief alongside your life in a way that feels manageable, so the pain becomes less paralysing and more integrated.
This process supports you in reclaiming moments of peace, clarity, and even joy, while carrying your memories and love forward in a way that honours them.
