Please Describe Briefly Your Personal Experience: Loss of an infant son to SIDS.
Principle of Healing
Application of the
Principle to Your Experience
Application of Skills to Manage Symptoms
Due to lack of resources and knowledge I didn’t know how to manage symptoms of the loss. Today if I were to help a client deal with a loss as such, Explain that everyday will be tough to face, but staying in the “now” the current day will help, there is a time to look back to what has happened but it does help to stay in the “now” Focus on what is happening at the moment not what has happened in the past. Give yourself a time to remember and to grieve, but not all the time.
Processing of Integration of Traumatic Memories
Traumatic Memories will occur, being able to accept the traumatic event will ease the pain, slowly accept the fact that you are safe and in control and will remain that way. Talking about feelings and memories may help bring light and a new prespecetive about the loss, and some understanding that may help remembering the tragic event as a strengthening agent instead of a traumatic event relived.
Replacing Avoidance with Confrontation
This particular healing process is very tough, clients may feel so tired to the point of exhaustion. Learning to know that the feelings are arising and realizing they are not in control, you have the power to take control over your feelings and tramatic memories. Remembering that if we just avoid those memories we can never master confrontation.
Describe the Climate of Pacing and Safety
The healing process takes time, it don’t happen overnight, you have good days and bad days. This step is about learning to walk again, you must put one foot in front of the other, make sure you keep your balance it may be slow but with forward steps you will reach the point of slowly realizing that everyday was worth going forward.
