Benefits of Counseling for Grief and Healing in Troy MI
The Body and Pregnancy Loss
Pregnancy loss impacts both emotions and the body. You might experience physical symptoms, anxiety in medical settings, or persistent tension. Therapies like EMDR and brainspotting can gently release trauma stored in the body, calm nervous system overwhelm, and support deeper healing.
Rebuilding Your Identity
Pregnancy loss can shake your sense of self and future. It’s common to question your body, purpose, and path forward. Therapy provides a safe place to explore these feelings, grieve your loss, and reconnect with hope, meaning, and moments of joy.
