Amanda Feaver Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy for Grief, integration, & expansion

Is there a way to process grief and loss and trauma so you can fully live your life?

There are experiences in life that can stop us in our tracks; we can get stuck for months and even years, unable to fully move forward and expand in our lives after a traumatic event or a profound loss. Have you ever experienced that?

Maybe you don’t know how to fully grieve something, or the disappointment of never having what could have been just stays with you. Perhaps you experience that traumatic memory over and over again, and you don’t know how to get out of that cycle. Maybe you notice you want more but feel stuck in place while life moves around you. Is this resonating with you?

Maybe you look put together on the outside, but inside, your body is exhausted, your mind is overactive, and you’re not even sure you know yourself anymore. Do you need to tend to your own life?

You can’t seem to find peace. You escape into work, or alcohol, or fantasy, or gossip. You escape into screens, or food, or sex, or sleep. Of course you do; you need to quiet the noise to avoid that nagging feeling that there’s something you’re not fully looking at. Are you surviving but not thriving?

What if there were another way? What if, instead of avoidance, you could get to calm? What if you could learn to pay attention to your life differently, and by doing that, you could free yourself from the patterns of avoidance you find yourself in?  

work at the intersection of loss and renewal, helping people go into their grief, trauma, and shadow so they may integrate, emerge, and expand into their lives.  This is deep work, and it requires full participation of the self. It feels scary to look at our loss and trauma and despair, but we can’t find the magic of our lives until we do. If you’re ready for more, reach out.
