At Home Counseling Services / Kimberly Kino, MA, LPC Kimberly Kino, founder of At Home Counseling Services, says, "Grief is experienced in a unique way only known to each of us. Sharing it with others who are supportive of this time period is often helpful. Spending time alone with the feelings is a good idea to. ...With grief, be good to you. Only you know the healthy ways that get you through the hard times. Music, yoga, reading, minfulness, movies, rest, spending time with nature, etc. are just some ways to treat yourself to the enjoyment in your life. Dealing with loss is the best time to also nurture your emotions by being good to you."

Non-pathologizing: The hallmark of non-pathologizing therapy is viewing a person as greater than their problems. It does not mean problems do not exist, it means NOT viewing the problems as the whole person or the whole person as the problems. Empowering therapists maintain the belief that people can grow, heal, and transform. This hope is held no matter how intense one's defenses and wounds are. People can heal if they want to and if they can contribute to their own growth whatever is sufficient and necessary to that end. Collaborative therapy can be established when a therapist encourages a client to become the co-therapist. Self is a state of being that a therapist can embody when with his or her clients. It's defined as a state of calm, curiosity, compassion, creativity, confidence, courage, connectedness, and clarity. Self is considered a requisite of good therapy because it is this state that allows a therapist to work collaboratively without pushing, without pathologizing, and without retraumatizing."
