Many people experience decision-making as a major source of stress—sleepless nights, racing thoughts, inner conflict. But what’s often overlooked is this: decision-making is a skill. And like any skill, it can be practiced, embodied, and strengthened.

With the support of body-based spiritual care, you can make grounded, values-aligned choices that support your healing, growth, and life direction—without the emotional overload.

Some common reasons people seek spiritual care and counseling include: 

• Death of a loved one
• Betrayal
• Divorce
• Major life change
• Loss of a job
• Miscarriage
• Infertility

Anticipatory grief is the grief experienced before a death or loss occurs, often when someone we care about is suffering. It can arise in situations like a loved one being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Cumulative grief, also known as compounded grief, can be described as a series of losses that occur over a relatively brief period of time. Research shows that while the losses may relate to various causes, intensities, and areas of your life, they can be harder to cope with than individual losses because of the compounding effect. 

 Ecological grief is a feeling of sorrow or loss that results from environmental change or the loss of ecosystems, species, or landscapes. 

Disenfranchised grief occurs when someone experiences a significant loss, but their grief is not acknowledged, validated, or accepted by others—either because the loss itself isn’t recognized as legitimate, or because the way they express their grief falls outside of socially accepted norms. 

Collective grief happens when a community, society, village, or nation all experience extreme change or loss. Collective grief can manifest in the wake of major events. Some examples include war, natural disasters, or others that result  or widespread tragedy.
