Jill Wolski, LCSW - Traumatic Loss Recovery Specialist

I am a Clinical Social Worker, a business owner and traumatic loss specialist. I am a therapist, a business owner and a traumatic loss specialist.

I work directly with women to help them fully recover from the devastation of traumatic loss by targeting traumatic patterning at its core, and changing it permanently. I am the owner of Harmony Counseling, LCSW, PLLC, which provides trauma treatment and holistic mental health care, to the local community of the greater Capital Region of New York State. I also provide specialized trauma recovery treatment to women in all of New York State who have experienced a traumatic loss, in my Life After Loss Blueprint, a potent therapeutic model created after years of experience in directly working with women and men to heal from trauma and traumatic loss, and seeing results. I believe that a regulated nervous system and a trauma-free brain are not only possible, but our birthright, and I am blessed to be able to work with my clients to continue to give them real relief and healing.

Traumatic loss is often a silent guest at the holiday table. 🕯️

We tend to look for tears or sadness to identify grief, but for many women, it doesn’t look like that at all. It looks like going on with everything like we always do. It looks like a woman who is managing a lot, who doesn’t want to fall apart, so she shoulders the pain inside herself.

But just because you are functioning, doesn’t mean the weight isn’t there.
Traumatic memory often gets buried for survival, especially during the Christmas season when there are so many other things to think about. But that background stress is playing out all the time. It’s an inner tension that makes celebrating harder than it needs to be. It makes spending time with friends and family feel more burdensome, not because you don’t love them, but because you are carrying a haunting memory they might not even remember.

If you are exhausted right now, it’s not just the holiday hustle. It is the heavy, silent work of carrying a loss while trying to keep the magic alive for everyone else.
I see you in that silence.

I would like to highlight that during the holidays, traumatic loss isn't always loud. It is often a silent tension. 🕯️

It is one more difficulty shouldered by a woman who is already managing a lot. Whose loss may not be remembered or understood by those around her because she looks like she is handling it all perfectly.

We bury the traumatic memory for survival, especially when there is a tree to trim or a dinner to cook. But the weight of that memory is always there, playing out in the background whether we know it or not.

If celebrating feels harder than it needs to be this year, please know: You aren't doing it wrong. You are just carrying something heavy while you do it.

You Cannot Heal If You Are Running on Empty.

My tip for you today is this:
If you are going too fast and being hyper-responsible, start today by giving yourself moments of pause. Allow yourself to say no. Look around and find things that are beautiful and allow yourself to find joy in that beauty.

These small moments start to teach us how to go slow and how to tune into ourselves. And in the end, that is what makes healing possible. Does this resonate with you today?

If you’ve done therapy and still feel stuck, you’re not failing.
Talk therapy alone doesn’t target the nervous system, and that’s where healing begins.

The Life After Loss Blueprint is a structured clinical path to restore safety and confidence.

DM “BLUEPRINT” for details.

You don’t lose the connection when you heal.
What fades is fear, terror, and helplessness, the trauma responses that keep you stuck. On the other side is a calmer, more peaceful bond with your loved one.

The trauma leaves. The love stays. ❤️

Healing doesn’t erase your bond.
It removes fear, terror, and helplessness, so love can remain without the overwhelm.
The trauma leaves. The love stays. ❤️

Trauma changes how your body breathes, and that matters.
When rhythm is disrupted, even your breath can feel unpredictable, short, held, or uneven. That lack of rhythm signals “unsafe” to the nervous system.

One way to restore safety? Square breathing.
Inhale for 4… hold for 4… exhale for 4… hold for 4.

This rhythmic pattern helps reintroduce predictability and calm, supporting vagus nerve regulation (Polyvagal Theory).

Your breath is the king of the mind—start there.

I know how exhausting it can feel when painful memories keep showing up.
You’re not alone, and there is a way forward.

If you could change one thing about how those memories feel, what would it be?

Most of us were never taught how to sit with emotions safely.
After trauma, we often judge or suppress feelings, thinking they’re dangerous or a sign of weakness.
But emotions aren’t enemies. They’re messengers.
Healing starts when we:
✔ Name the emotion
✔ Allow it
✔ Listen to its message
✔ Release it
Your emotions can become allies in recovery.

Save this for when you need a reminder.
