The Treatment

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps individuals to go through the stages of grief to aid in coping with the loss. During the assessment stage the session is used to gain a deeper understanding of the clients history and presenting problems.

After identifying the problems and goals the interventions used involved aiding the individual to come to terms with the reality of the loss, helping them work with the emotional pain, anger, guilt and suffering, plan a readjustment of life without the significant person, help the individual to rebuild connections and relationships with others and lastly building living memories regarding the loss.
