Book a consultation today: https://jaclyn-hoffman.clientsecure.me/contact-widget My name is Jaclyn Hoffman and I am a licensed therapist with over 18 years of clinical experience in the mental health field. This includes working in community mental health settings for adults and children, providing in-home mental health services fo

r children and families. My practice, Shore Awakenings, came into fruition years ago, with the idea of offering more holistic approaches like SoulCollage® and energy psychology. The latter approach is the byproduct of encountering the tragic passing of my husband with the growing curiosity of what my/our true purpose of being here means. The pandemic permitted more of that self-discovery and so I found Reiki, yoga, breathwork, meditation, the understanding of the chakra system, amongst so many “unconventional” versions of therapy for myself. Here, I learned that “I am my own client” and although I am still healing, and learning (for I am a student at heart), I am offering my skills to those who seek it for their own grief, heartache, and emotional regulation. I am offering groups and workshops starting next month. I am excited to offer tools to awaken your mind, soothe your body, and stir your soul. I am currently out-of-network (OON); however, your insurance may accept OON services so please inquire with your insurance company. I will provide a superbill (statement) and you may seek reimbursement through your insurance company. Please note that Reiki is not a service covered through insurance at this time.

I will be launching a 6-week SoulCollage and Grief group in my practice starting Monday, September 28th. If you haven't heard of SoulCollage®, I will be creating a brief demo shortly to explain the process. In short, SoulCollage is a creative, intuitive practice where you make small collage cards from images without needing artistic skills, I promise! This a gentle, non-verbal way to process grief that can be hard to put into words. Simple prompts like "I am one who…" are implemented to help surface unexpected insights about loss, memory, and complicated feelings, while the playful, sensory nature of the work can ease the emotional guard that talk-based grief processing sometimes activates. Over this 6-week group, you'll experience and build shared ritual and community, to grieve alongside others rather than alone.

This is intended to be an intimate group of up to 6 members.

(cont'd) answer and that can be exhausting.

While there's no perfect roadmap, there are a few things that truly help:
1) Use honest, simple words, not euphemisms
2)Let them see you grieve too for it teaches them it's safe to both show and feel grief
3)Expect "puddle jumping" where your kiddo may be sad one moment, playing the next.
4)Keep routines steady for predictability = safety
5)Keep their parent present with photos, stories, and memories. It's about connection, not moving "on."

There is no equation for grief.

Regardless of the person's background, handing someone a number and calling it healing is not only a false solution, but a disservice to that person going through grief.

Grief isn't a problem to be solved!
It's love with nowhere to go.
No timeline.
No calculation.

If someone is trying to "math" your grief, I want you to hear this: 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜. 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜, 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝, 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙.
