Today is my wee brother's 15th anniversary.
When Andi died, I did grieve for him as well as for my dad whom I had lost 21 years earlier, because I don't think I ever properly grieved for my dad as it was fairly soon back to normal, being strong and moving forward.
Admittedly, TRE can't take away your grief –
and that wouldn't be healthy anyway as I firmly believe we need to go through the grieving process in order to heal.
But TRE can be a TREmendously valuable tool in the grieving process by addressing both the physical and emotional impacts of grief.
Let me explain.
Quite often, grief manifests in the body as tension, tightness, or even pain. And the natural shaking process can help to release this built-up tension – which can lead to a sense of physical relief and ease.
But not just physical pain – as grief can be held in the body as unexpressed emotions. With TRE we can gently process and release these, hence reducing the burden of carrying unprocessed grief in the body.
Grieving can cause stress and anxiety – which can get the nervous system into overdrive. TRE can help to down-regulate an overactive nervous system and can promote relaxation and a sense of calm. This can most certainly make it easier to cope with the emotional roller coaster.
And once this is sorted, sleep patterns and overall relaxation can improve.
You've probably heard the saying:
“What comes out of your body doesn't make you ill. What stays in there does.” so when we can process and release emotions and tension we can get rid of everything that doesn't serve us.
Last but not least, many people appreciate that TRE can create a safe space for emotional release – without verbalising anything. So if you find it difficult to talk – or if you simply don't want to talk about your pain – TRE offers a valuable alternative.
And once you've practised TRE for a while, you can build resilience and feel stronger in adapting to life after loss.
I wish I would have understood how TRE could have helped me with my pain.
Now I see it.
Hence, I want you to know how you can help yourself going through the grieving process.
One thing I know for sure – time really is a great healer. After 15 years, I don't burst into tears when talking about my losses, death, dying and terminal illness.
I just wish it wouldn't have taken that long and I want you to discover TRE as a TREmendously helpful alternative much sooner.
I'm here for you to guide you safely and to offer a supportive and empathic environment for you to experience and process your grief.
You might burst into tears during our session –
but remember, whatever leaves your system doesn't make you ill anymore. And I'm here to provide a safe space for you.
You deserve to feel so much better, so let me know if you want to discuss anything.
Natural. Innate. TREmendous.
