How grief effects your stress bucket 🪣
After a significant personal loss within the family and time to process the event, I was inspired to explain the effects of grief on the brain.
We perceive loss as a threat, which in turn activates the Primitive part of our brain and causes emotional overdrive. Our Prefrontal Cortex, which is responsible for rational thought, focus and decision-making, goes “offline”.
In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy sessions, we gently guide the brain back to emotional regulation and calm while utilising hypnosis for subconscious processing of the traumatic event.
