Grief can feel overwhelming on its own — and when a loss is sudden, violent, or deeply distressing, the emotional impact can be even more complex. Traumatic grief may involve intense sorrow alongside shock, fear, guilt, or intrusive memories that make it difficult to move forward.
At Pats Consultants, we offer traumatic grief therapy for individuals seeking compassionate, professional support after a traumatic loss. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process grief at your own pace, without pressure or judgment.
Traumatic grief can occur when a loss is unexpected or deeply distressing, such as the death of a loved one due to an accident, violence, suicide, medical trauma, or other sudden events. In these situations, grief may feel intertwined with trauma-related responses.
Everyone experiences grief differently. There is no “right” way to grieve, and there is no set timeline. Traumatic grief therapy focuses on supporting individuals as they navigate both loss and emotional overwhelm.
Traumatic grief may affect emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Some individuals may experience:
These reactions are common and do not mean something is “wrong.”
Traumatic grief therapy can offer support by:
Therapy is individualized and collaborative, allowing each person to move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of their experience.
Traumatic grief therapy is guided by trauma-informed principles that prioritize emotional safety, choice, and empowerment. Sessions may focus on present-day coping skills, emotional regulation, and gently exploring how the loss continues to affect daily life.
Clients are never required to share details before they are ready. Therapy is shaped around comfort level and personal goals.
Traumatic grief therapy may be helpful for:
A formal diagnosis is not required to begin therapy.
Early sessions focus on understanding your experience, concerns, and what support might look like for you. Over time, therapy may help you build coping tools, process emotions, and regain a sense of stability while honoring your loss.
If you are seeking traumatic grief therapy in Tampa, Pats Consultants provides compassionate, professional care in a supportive environment. Reaching out for support after a traumatic loss is a personal decision, and therapy is available when you feel ready.
