Homeopathy and Counselling Skills for Grief and Loss
By Tracy
UnlistedHomeopathy and Counselling Skills for Grief and Loss
I’ve experienced complex bereavement and have been so thankful for both homeopathy and counselling to help me through it.
I learned about counselling skills while training with the Breastfeeding Network. We had to do a lot of face-to-face role-play and tape recordings as part of our assessment.
Once I was supporting in groups I had to attend monthly group supervision, as well as phone supervision in between.
These experiences have given me the skills to weave into my work as a homeopath, even though I don’t have an official counselling qualification.
Myths about grief
There are two major myths about the process of grief.
- It gets easier each day.
- It proceeds in predictable stages.
It’s actually individual, chaotic and unpredictable.
Disenfranchised loss
As homeopaths we can offer a great deal of support, through the homeopathy process and also with remedies.
Loss of a close family member or partner is widely recognised as legitimate grief, but ‘disenfranchised loss’ and ‘complex bereavement’ is also common.
Homeopathy and counselling skills together are able to offer more than simply talking therapy alone.
More than listening
We can use a counselling framework and skills to support emotional health and well-being alongside homeopathy.
Counselling skills include:
- Active listening
- Silence
- Reflecting and paraphrasing
- Rapport and connection
To do all these things well involves a high level of awareness both during and afterwards.
