Grief and Life Transition

Grief and Life Transition

How Can I Live without her?

Grief and Life Transition counseling- Need Grief and Life Transition counseling? Tender Rock Counseling Center provides Grief and Life Transition counseling Services in Bellevue, WA. Find professional and caring therapist for Grief and Life Transition counseling in Bellevue. Advice from a licensed counselor about Grief and Life Transition counseling in Bellevue (Factoria)- contact with Tender Rock Counseling CenterYears ago, in my journal, I (Mark) wrote “Everything comes to an end. However, I never had expected that “everything coming to an end” came to me so suddenly and so soon, catching me totally unguarded” when my wife passed away in 1996. I further wrote, “Loss of my wife feels like being cut in half.” My whole world instantly shattered, and I felt like a walking dead because of that cruel fact. To this day, while I look the same in the eyes of those around me, I know that forever I have become a different person within.
Being a Christian, I am hopeful in the sense of knowing that I have a heavenly eternal home with God; I will be joining my wife there, where there will be “no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” However, this hope does not exempt me from the pain of losing her.
For people who have suffered the loss of a loved one (such as a spouse, parent, sibling, child, or baby through miscarriage or stillbirth, etc.) suffer unbearably and simultaneously in the mind, body and spirit domains, which almost always represents a massive threat to existence of our identities. People who suffer such significant loss often describe that experience as “a big hole that cannot be mended.” Unfortunately, the experiences and painful grieving often is not understood and inadequately supported, although unintentionally, by their friends and even family members. The encouragement in terms of positive thinking, for example, as offered by friends or family members to people who cry out “How can I live with my loss?” in despair actually cause grieving people to respond with more withdrawal and deeper despair.
With an understanding of grief from both a personal and professional perspective, in a group setting, I provide and facilitate Christian-based gentle witness and support in body, mind and spirit domains as well as guidance in exploring different meanings and coping strategies in the midst of suffering along a journey that you may have never visited before.

    Anxiety Counseling- Healing from Anxiety

    Anxiety Counseling- Healing from Anxiety

    Tender Rock counseling Center provides Family counseling, Marriage counseling, Interracial Marriage counseling, Couples Counseling , Grief and Loss Counseling, Parenting Counseling, Christian Counseling, Relationship Counseling, Depression Counseling, PTSD Counseling, Abuse Counseling, Anxiety Counseling and Child Counseling in Bellevue (Factoria), WA 98006Do you struggle with anxiety? Maybe you have wondered, but are not sure. Anxiety shows itself in many forms. Here is an example. You were having a wonderful day, then something someone says triggers anxiety or even panic in you. You are then confused by this anxiety, because you don’t know what suddenly triggered these anxious feelings. You want to hide your feelings so the other person doesn’t know, but inside, you feel terrible.
    Does this sound familiar to you? In my work as a counselor, I have heard reports such as this many times. People who struggle with anxiety often don’t know why. They don’t know why anxiety can come on them when they least expect it, or how to make the anxiety “go away.” I can help you. Reach out today for the support and care you need.
    In our work together, I will:
    1)     Support and encourage you in your journey to healing from anxiety
    2)     Help you explore possible reasons for your struggle with anxiety, what triggers anxiety, and what chances in your life might be helpful to your healing
    3)      Help you understand that your anxiety is something you are struggling with, but does not represent who you are
    4)     Help your brain create new neurological pathways away from the anxiety, and lead you toward greater fulfillment and even joy

        Embracing Depression as Our Ally

        Embracing Depression as Our Ally



        Depression is not a single symptom, but a construct – a group of body, mind, and spirit-related symptoms that almost always coexists with anxiety and other mental issues.  The presentation of depression is often different depending on genetic, environmental, and bio-psycho-social factors.
        Because the fear of the suffering (often unbearable) that is associated with depression, we instinctively reject it in every possible way.  Because of the pain, we perceive depression as a disease and will likely look for a quick fix. For example, we may turn to medication, based on the conventional medical (disease) model, even though antidepressant medications are not the cure.  However, if we instead seek to perceive depression as SYMPTOMS (sort of like MESSAGES), we will likely look for the cause (hidden unmet needs since the past) with our attention, curiosity, and patience. Medication can be useful if it is used carefully and does not cloud our opportunities to trace back to our unmet needs in body, mind, and spirit domains separately and collectively.  In addition, it is best to use medication along with therapy/counseling if you do decide to use it. It is particularly beneficial to your healing  if you become your own advocate to promote the collaboration between your psychotherapist/counselor and the medication prescriber.
        It is crucial to discover and understand that may occur in the context of the “process” instead of the “result”. The key to healing starts from shifting our focus from “rejecting the pain of depression” to “embracing the meaning of depression.”

        Depression: Symptoms and Treatment

        Depression: Symptoms and Treatment


        Do you toss and turn all night?  Or lie awake for hours?  Have you lost interest in your family, friends, and the things you love to do?  Has it become hard for you to make decisions or focus on your work?  Have you lost or gained weight recently?  Have your thoughts drifted to a dark place, where you think you and those you love would be better off if you were dead?  Saying “yes” to several of these questions may mean you are suffering from a form of depression.
        In any given year, in America, almost 7% of the population will meet diagnosis for depression.  Of those, around 70% of those diagnosed will be women (NIMH,date).  Depression may occur once in a lifetime or several times across the lifespan.
        Depression arises from a complex interplay between biological, environmental, psychological, and sociological factors.  Symptoms of depression may be triggered by a major loss, a traumatic event, or some other situation, which has had a significant impact on the person.  In others, there seems to be seasonal component where the onset of symptoms may begin in the fall and last throughout the winter months.  Some women will suffer depression following childbirth when hormonal changes occur rapidly and the responsibility of caring for a new born can be overwhelming.
        There are many signs and symptoms of being in a depressive episode.  You may feel sad or “empty” or cry a lot.  Your thoughts may become negative. You may ruminate about a particular feeling such as hopelessness or on other negative, pessimistic themes.  Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness may be pervasive.   Pleasurable activities have lost their appeal.  This may include your hobbies or sex life.  It may be very difficult to find the energy to do the things you would normally do.  You might notice it is difficult for focus at work, make any decisions, or remember the details of an event.  Sleep can be impacted in different ways such as sleeping a lot or struggling with some form of insomnia.  You might lose a significant amount of weight in a short period of time or engage in overeating.  One of the most distressing symptoms of depression is thinking about death, contemplating taking your own life or actually planning or attempting suicide (DSM, DATE).  Individuals may also experience chronic aches and pains, which do not remit even with medical treatment (MIMH).
        I believe psychotherapy is one of several key ways to address symptoms of depression.  I take a holistic approach to working with individuals with depression.  I believe talk therapy can help you address the negative thinking and distorted beliefs you may be experiencing.  It can also identify behaviors, like social withdrawal, which may need to be understood and shifted for the recovery process to occur.  Medications can be a helpful intervention.  I believe aerobic exercise and healthy nutrition play an important part in recovering from depression and are protective strategies for preventing the onset of another episode (Siegel, date: van der Kolk, Date).
        Depression is a complex issue with many factors, which may contribute to its onset.  I respect the courage it takes to address this illness and the devastation it can cause in your life and relationships.  I would welcome the opportunity to answer any questions you might have about depression, my treatment philosophy, or how psychotherapy might help you.   Thank you.

          “Depression is not a single symptom, but a construct – a group of body, mind, and spirit-related symptoms that almost always coexists with anxiety and other mental issues.  The presentation of depression is often different depending on genetic, environmental, and bio-psycho-social factors.
          Because the fear of the suffering (often unbearable) that is associated with depression, we instinctively reject it in every possible way.  Because of the pain, we perceive depression as a disease and will likely look for a quick fix. For example, we may turn to medication, based on the conventional medical (disease) model, even though antidepressant medications are not the cure.  However, if we instead seek to perceive depression as SYMPTOMS (sort of like MESSAGES), we will likely look for the cause (hidden unmet needs since the past) with our attention, curiosity, and patience. Medication can be useful if it is used carefully and does not cloud our opportunities to trace back to our unmet needs in body, mind, and spirit domains separately and collectively.  In addition, it is best to use medication along with therapy/counseling if you do decide to use it. I believe that it is particularly beneficial to your healing  if you become your own advocate to promote the collaboration between your psychotherapist/counselor and the medication prescriber.
          As a psychotherapist/counselor, I will guide you to discover and understand the root of your depression in an empathic and holistic approach. The true healing may occur in the context of the “process” instead of the “result.” I believe the key to healing starts from shifting our focus from “rejecting the pain of depression” to “embracing the meaning of depression. „

          “ Are you suffering from depression? Depression can rob people of the joy of everyday life. People suffering from depression often find it difficult to look forward to life, or get excited about things they used to enjoy. Depression can even cause people to avoid others they love, including family and friends. The longer someone suffers from depression, the less hopeful they often become. There is hope though. I can journey with you to find hope again, heal from the symptoms of depression, and return to the joy of being alive. „
