Have You Suffered a Loss? Get Help From Dr. Cousins

Divorce or Grief from the loss of a loved one can be devastating events in people's lives, even if it is one that turns out okay in the longer run, just getting through it can be harrowing for many, and just very challenging for the rest of us. There are times of anger, loneliness, denial, and of course just plain grief, which sometimes seem unbearable. As human beings we have feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and our physical reactions. Temporary reactions to stress that linger more than a couple of weeks can easily turn into a real clinical depression, or significant withdrawal from others who may not know how to help us. That is where an experienced psychologist who has been through many of these issues both personally and professionally can sometimes be more helpful than family and friends, who we are sometimes afraid of wearing out!
