Another strand centers on processing trauma and grief in steady steps, giving space to remember difficult events while learning strategies to reduce overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chantell will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on how things are going.
