Grief

Grief does not always follow a clear or predictable pattern. It is not limited to bereavement. It can arise after any significant loss — a relationship ending, a life transition, or a change that was not chosen.

Some people experience grief as deep sadness. Others feel numbness, irritability, exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection. It may fluctuate from day to day. At times you may function well; at other times even simple tasks can feel difficult.

There is no single correct way to grieve, and no fixed timeline. The process is individual and often non-linear. Attempts to suppress or rush it can prolong distress.

Therapeutic support can provide a structured space to process loss safely. Hypnotherapy may help reduce overwhelming emotional intensity, support nervous system regulation, and allow feelings to be experienced without becoming destabilising.

With time and appropriate support, grief can shift from something that feels all-consuming to something that can be carried with greater steadiness.
