How To Approach And Cope With Grief And LossI have published this article about coping with grief and loss as a guest post over at Letters of Love, a support group for people struggling with depression, self-injury, addiction & eating disorders.

It’s the first article in the “Ask a therapist” series where I have been invited to answer readers questions over the next few weeks. (Quite a lot of weeks actually as everyone had so much to ask!)

The readers question this week is:

I had a difficult time dealing with my father’s death on my own and would ask about tools that could help me avoid some of the pitfalls I experienced. Pitfalls such as drinking too much, seeking comfort from men who can’t provide anything I need, unexplained anger and frustration, etc.

I know from my clients that people can experience real conflicts when it comes to seeing a coach or a therapist for help with a personal issue.

Some feel there’s a sense of mystery around the process which makes it a bit of a step into the unknown – not a good thing when you’re not feeling too great to begin with!

Then there’s also the general curiosity about things you’ve perhaps always wanted to ask a therapist but didn’t know how to.

Now’s your chance to get answers to the questions you’ve always wanted to ask!

Letters of Love is a pen-pal support group for those struggling with depression, self-injury, addiction, and eating disorders.

Elizabeth, the lady who set up the group, has invited me to do a Q&A series of posts based around real questions submitted by her readers.

I’ve now received the initial list and there are some pretty good questions on it! I’ll be answering them over the coming weeks on the Letters of Love website.

I’ll link to them from here too so that you don’t miss out on what looks to be a really good experience – as much for me as for anyone interested in knowing more about the therapy & coaching process.

UPDATE: This Q&A series is now over. But if you have any questions about therapy or coaching, you can send them to me using the form below. Remember that since I do not know you or your background, my replies can only be generalised. Please make an appointment if you would like help with something specific.

[contact-form]

Rest assured that your name will not be printed and a pseudonym will be used.

If you need to contact me personally about anything, you can reach me on reeta@reetaluthra.com

Thanks!
