Healing through loss—how EMDR supports grief recovery
Why grief can feel overwhelming
Grief after losing a loved one can feel like a constant weight that never eases. EMDR therapy offers a way to work through these feelings, helping you process the emotional pain and begin to heal. At Burlington Clinic, our therapists use EMDR to help clients struggling with deep loss and complicated grief.
How EMDR can support grief recovery
The process begins with understanding your grief—your history, your relationship with the loss, and how it’s affecting your current life. Once we have this foundation, we move into the reprocessing phase, where you can begin to reduce the emotional intensity of the grief. This allows you to remember the person you lost without being consumed by the pain.
Processing grief with bilateral stimulation
Bilateral stimulation, through eye movements or tapping, helps the brain reprocess grief-related memories. Over time, these memories become less painful, and the deep emotional wound starts to close.
