Complicated grief, or prolonged grief disorder, refers to unrelenting and intense grief that can overwhelm an individual and make it more difficult for them to accept the loss of their loved one. According to a study published by the American Psychiatric Association, as many as 10% of bereaved adults suffer from this condition. By offering therapy both in-person and virtually, True North Psychotherapy makes it easier for grieving people to seek help and move forward.
Through CBT sessions with VanDoren, patients can learn to challenge negative, persistent thought patterns that are exacerbating their anguish and develop new habits that will help them reduce stress throughout their grieving process.
VanDoren uses various approaches beyond CBT depending on client needs, such as dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense feelings and interpersonal therapy to improve relationships. She can also incorporate a novel modality known as internal family systems (IFS), a methodology that heals emotional wounds following a traumatic event.
She complements her therapy with a combination of mindfulness techniques that her patients can use to reduce rumination on negative thoughts and past events, which is common among grieving individuals.
