Grief Reconnection & Ongoing Wellness (GROW)
for Grief
This program:
-
Helps you manage emotions, address grief blockers, process grief, find meaning and connection.
-
Combines education, EMDR intensives, and other holistic-based workshops to support grief evolution and personal growth.
-
Some modules must be completed in sequence as they build on each other, while others can be joined at any time.
-
This approach can be offered as part of an intensive program individually, in a group setting, or as part of a TGI retreat.
1. Grief Groundwork
(Phase 1 & 2 of EMDR)
What you'll learn:
-
What is grief.
-
Why it hurts so much.
-
What you can control.
-
The healing journey through this program.
This introductory step provides essential information about the grieving process. It focuses on helping you understand grief, preparing you for deeper work. This session is a required starting point for, and does not involve active processing.
2. Reconnection
(Phase 2 of EMDR)
What you will gain:
-
Evidence-based tools you can use to help you feel more grounded in the present, and resilient to handle upcoming big waves of emotions. This includes emotional regulation, containment, gratitude, feeling your feelings, and feeling safe to feel feelings.
-
Stronger vagal tone, feeling more connected to your environment and others.
This module is focused on grounding and nervous system regulation, allowing for reconnection to the body and mind in helpful ways.
Building a Toolbox: Minimum of one 1-hour session designed to teach essential coping and stabilization skills. These are required and must be attended before progressing to Ongoing Evolution.
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP): This is an optional registration that includes a minimum of five meetings listening to 60 minutes of specially curated music for nervous system regulation. Time for group reflection may be incorporated.
3. Ongoing Evolution
(Phase 3-8 of EMDR)
What you will experience:
-
EMDR processing uses eye movements, tapping or other tools to invite your brain to keep what you need and discard the rest.
-
Big waves of emotions are expected, as you will finally be feeling and filing away what is needed.
-
EMDR intensives can offer a faster route through the natural grieving process than stand alone sessions, and may also clear blockers such as trauma, attachment injuries, and past loss.
Viewing grief as never being fully complete, we continue to evolve and grow through the grieving process. This module focuses on processing deeper emotions with EMDR, and may be offered in a group on individual setting.
Individual Sessions: Done with an EMDR trained TGI therapist for a personalized approach. This is usually 4-6 sessions and can be done in preparation of the group processing, or as a standalone treatment.
Group Sessions: Designed to provide support while using techniques such as self-tapping and art to explore deeper connections.
4. Wellness
The goal of these events:
-
Fostering ongoing wellness and community.
This module is open to anyone seeking additional support, and does not require previous module completion.
Through ongoing grief-focused events such as workshops and retreats, long-term benefits are empowered. Activities may include yoga, breathwork, social activities, and continuing the bond workshops.
