When confronted with the death of a loved one, or tragic or regrettable things in our past it’s normal to feel a sense of grief, sadness, and loss. Sadness and grief are painful and can feel overwhelming or even unbearable. It’s common to feel like avoiding or escaping these feelings. However, the most useful way to get through grief generally, is to allow yourself to experience it.

Our DBT group works on the four skills of DBT; (a)mindfulness, (b) distress tolerance, (c) emotion regulation, and (d) interpersonal effectiveness to move through the different stages and challenges of grief.
