Grief Therapy in Richmond
Have you ever noticed how grief shows up in your body—tight shoulders, a heavy chest, or even a knotted stomach?
Grief isn’t just something we feel emotionally, it lives in our bodies, too. Tight shoulders, an unsettled stomach, or a racing heart can all be signs that grief is speaking through us physically. That’s why somatic reflection is such a powerful tool for healing.
✨ Why Reflect Somatically?
Grief can sometimes feel “stuck” when we focus only on our thoughts. By tuning into the body, we:
Learn to notice where grief is being held physically.
Create space for feelings to flow, rather than stay trapped.
Develop a deeper connection to ourselves and our healing process.
✨ How to Begin
Pause and Breathe: Take a few deep breaths and notice how your body feels in the moment.
Scan Your Body: Gently check in from head to toe. Are there any areas of tension, warmth, or discomfort?
Move or Rest: Let your body guide you. Maybe you need gentle movement, stretching, or simply stillness to process what you’re feeling.
Grief is a full-body experience. By giving attention to both your emotions and your physical sensations, you create space for healing to unfold in its own way, one moment at a time. 🌟
Use these reflection questions to start your journey!
