Grief and Loss Coaching

Grief and loss may be one of the most painful experiences that an individual will go through. For many, it is overwhelming, isolating, and hard to navigate on their own. Along with the inherent factors surrounding grief and loss, there is added stress that comes with the assumptions and biases of others. Dr. Logan offers a compassionate, sensitive, and science-informed approach to grief and loss support. He believes this is to be invaluable for many people, particularly those already struggling with trauma, toxic stress, or a history of adversity.

Grief and loss are always challenging, but it can be especially hard on everyone when it is associated with violence or substance abuse. Dr. Logan provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to work through their grief and loss. He brings a salutogenic approach to his coaching, which means he will focus on enhancing an individual's sense of coherence and overall well-being.

The salutogenic approach to coaching is a strengths-based approach that focuses on an individual's resources rather than their deficits. It recognizes that individuals have the ability to adapt and cope with grief and loss, and it helps them tap into their inner strengths and resources to help them move forward in a healthy and positive way. Dr. Logan works with clients to identify their strengths, resources, and life skills and support them in cultivating a positive outlook on life despite their loss. The goal is to incrementally move away from remembering with pain to remembering with joy and love.

The coaching process is collaborative, where Dr. Logan and the client work together as a team. He will provide guidance and support while the client takes an active role in their own healing process. Together, they explore the impact of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and work to identify any barriers that may be preventing them from moving forward. The client will receive guidance on developing new life skills and stress-managing strategies that they can use to honor their grief and loss without it further impacting their functionality.

One of the goals of coaching is to help individuals find a way to move forward without sensing that they are leaving their loved ones behind. With Dr. Logan's support, clients will be able to create a meaningful way to honor their loved ones while embracing the opportunities and joys that life still has to offer. Grief is not pathology. By definition, grief is an expression of love and the pathway to healing. For those whose grief has become complicated by other factors, both pre-existing and new ones, Dr. Logan will offer them a process by which they can regain momentum and meaning in life.
