The After Life Psychotherapy Group For Young And Widowed
HELPING YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE WHILE YOU MOURN YOUR LOSS
What are the benefits of Psychotherapy Group?
Grief is an extremely isolating experience and many people find themselves struggling to express how they feel in the aftermath of the loss. A psychotherapy group is an opportunity to relate to others who are going through similar challenges and help you find words to describe what goes on in your mind. Being a part of the group can help you normalise your experiences and reduce a sense of isolation. The group’s role is to improve your understanding of your grief and develop a more balanced relationship with your loss.
What are the differences between a psychotherapy group and a peer support group?
Afterlife Psychotherapy group is not the same as a peer support group. This is a form of talking therapy and is conducted by an accredited Clinical Psychologist who thinks carefully about the structure of the group that would facilitate the therapeutic process. This involves a thoughtful selection of all participants of the group as well as holding the space in a safe and containing manner. Giving and receiving support are also a part of the psychotherapy group but the main focus is on creating an environment where the participants can take risks in trying new ways of being with others and learning new experiences.
Who can benefit from Afterlife Psychotherapy Group?
Anyone who has experienced a loss of a life partner is eligible to apply. If you find yourself struggling to deal with the loss and feel that something is stopping you from being able to live your life alongside your loss then it might be a good idea to talk to someone about getting professional support.
