Everyone will experience it sooner or later in their life. For example, due to the death of a loved one. But we also mourn the loss of a job, health, relationship or a divorce. A loss experience often causes sadness, anger and other emotions. There are many ways to accommodate grief and get your life back on track. I'd love to help you take the next step (s) in your grieving process.
Grief has many faces, with different stages and forms of expression. Grief after being abandoned can feel like someone has passed away. And you also experience grief when you or your partner are chronically ill. The loss of your job or your place of residence can also be accompanied by grief. Your emotional response to a loss is unique and does not follow a set pattern. Sadness is often expected during a grieving process, but you may experience anger, shame or guilt in particular.
Grieving is a natural process. Everyone processes a loss in their own way. Sometimes you also get stuck in the grieving process or you have pushed it away, so that you notice at a later time that you are still walking around with it. Unprocessed grief can lead to all kinds of complaints, from insomnia, restlessness and irritability to physical ailments. Are you running into this? Then it's time to talk to a grief coach or grief counselor.
What does Tijs Breuer have to offer you?
Tijs: ′′ In 2020 I took the Grief Guidance sub-study at the Apres la Vie Academy in Soest. What the training and healthy grieving process looks like and how you can guide clients in this step by step. The training consists of theory, literature research, teaching conversations, processing assignments, case studies, brainstorming and other forms of interactive education. Based on recent research literature and inspiring lectures by Anja van Wingerden, among others, I started looking at grief processes in a different way. I have developed my own unconfessional and, if necessary, taboo-breaking method of grief counseling. Due to many good experiences of clients, this has been given an important place in my coaching practice.”
What does grief counseling look like?
With the guidance of your grieving process, I help you to cherish the memories, to accept the new situation with the loss and to pick up the thread of your life again. A new situation also brings out another part of you. It may be that you partly become a different person and that your life transforms. I am your confidant with whom you can share everything, including deeper feelings that are confusing or that make you doubt your existing identity.
