This helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and practice new habits between sessions.She also emphasizes processing and meaning-making around grief, loss, and life transitions. That work often combines pacing - allowing time to tell your story - with strategies for managing strong emotions and rebuilding routines that support daily functioning.
