Why come for a divination? ⁠
⁠
🐚 Come if your mind is confused and your heart is heavy.⁠
🐚 Come if you need to reconcile with someone, especially if that someone isn’t willing or can’t repair with you directly.⁠
🐚 Come If you’re at a crossroads or need to make a big decision and don’t know which direction to go.⁠

Hey Therapists!⁠
⁠
Do you feel like you need more support after these past 3 years of so much stress and change?⁠
⁠
Do you have more and more clients that are struggling with just daily survival and need more support in helping them?⁠
⁠
Are you burned out beyond burnout?⁠
⁠
Are you wondering how to deal with this collective grief?⁠
⁠
Do you close your computer or your door and sigh after sessions and wonder how you can keep doing this?⁠
⁠
Well, I am right there with you. ⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
Co-hearts, I invite you to take a breath with me…⁠
⁠
Our jobs are really hard right now as we continue to hold space for so many while we are right there in it too. ⁠
⁠
Thanks for being on the front lines as we both hold others while holding ourselves and our families/communities during this time. ⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
I have created this group specifically for you—the ones that are holding us all together. ⁠
⁠
And I will be honest, I created this group with myself in mind and heart. ⁠
⁠
🌺 We will gather for six weeks on Wednesdays 5:30-6:45pm (MST).⁠
⁠
🌺 Dates: February 15, 22, March 1, 8, 15, & 22, 2023. ⁠
⁠
🌺 We will drop in briefly with a body-centered practice, then we’ll check in personally and professionally and then I’ll teach about grief. ⁠
⁠
🌺 I want to be intentional about keeping our time to an hour and 15 minutes yet allow a bit of wiggle room at the end if we need to stay longer. AND I know like you, I am busy–so I want to honor your time AND I want you to get what you need. ⁠
⁠
🌺 Our fifth session will be a grief ritual.⁠
⁠
🌺 There will be no extra videos that you must watch in order to be in the group. ⁠
⁠
🌺 And there won’t be any homework either, other than possibly creating your own befriending grief practice outside of the group in your own way and on your own time. ⁠
⁠
🌺 You’ll receive a huge bonus: my DIY Online Grief Relief Course (a value of $297) that I created at the end of 2019. You’re welcome to watch the course at your own pace or not watch it at all. It’s a gift for you to have even more support at this time and to learn in more details about how I work with grief. It’s my very own befriending grief practice.⁠

Instead of New Year's resolutions try this…⁠
⁠
It’s called Puzzle of Self and focuses on integrating your old self with your new one through photographs and other images of your loss.⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
Lisa Keefauver, grief counselor and advocate, often says grief rips up the manuscript of your life, then we sit amongst the fallout and put our life back together. ⁠
⁠
This task, which I learned from the Creative Grief Studio, helps us to do this.⁠
⁠
First, gather courage. If it’s too hard, do this when you feel ready.⁠
⁠
Second, gather the photos/images. ⁠
⁠
Next, gather these supplies: paper/journal, scissors, glue, and images from photos/magazines. ⁠
⁠
You may also do this with words/phrases cut from magazines or your journal. (If you use photos, I recommend photocopying them. It was easier for me to know I wasn’t losing the original photo too.)⁠
⁠
Set aside about 2 hours of uninterrupted time. Have tissues ready.⁠
⁠
Place your photos/images of your previous life on one side and place who you are now on the other. ⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
Notice where you’re able to start. I had to start with who I am now.⁠
⁠
Notice what arises. What’s happening with your grief? Allow your emotions to be there-cry, be angry or feel numb.⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
Then it’s time for the hardest part—either rip up or cut the images of your loss.⁠
⁠
Continue to rip up or cut all the other images. Or you may leave some images intact, as I did in the who I am now section.⁠
⁠
Take your time. Notice what arises. Pause, have self-compassion.⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
Next, rearrange all the pieces; put it together in a new way.⁠
⁠
Take your time with this; make sure it feels right to you.⁠
⁠
When it’s finished, glue the images down.⁠
⁠
Notice your process.⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
Let me know how this goes if you try it.⁠
⁠
Have courage and tissues.

Feeling griefy today. May these memes make you laugh or feel your grief in a new way. May you rest. #grievewellbewell

This post comes from two recent blogs called the Puzzle of Self-part one and part two. Go to my linkedin bio to find them.⁠
⁠
I invite you to have a simple grief intention by giving it attention. ⁠
⁠
Set up a small altar and tend to it-sit and meditate, emote, and write in your journal there. ⁠
⁠
And let's take time to be in this dark stillness by being with your grief creatively.⁠
⁠
I give you more ways to deepen your process with your puzzle of self. ⁠
⁠
If it's helpful, write in your journal about what comes. ⁠
⁠
What part was easier to do? Why?⁠
How did it feel to find the images you used?⁠
Did you rip up or cut up your images? ⁠
What was that like?⁠
Did any insights arise as you did this?⁠
If the final piece could give you a gift that would help you move into the future-what would that be?⁠
⁠
This prompt invites us to look at how grief has shattered out identities of who we were before our loss and how to piece it back together.⁠
