Your Toolkit
Grief is not just something you feel. It's something that exists in your mind, churning relentlessly, and often in ways that are hard to make sense of. Thoughts about what happened, what you could have done differently, what the future looks like now. They arrive uninvited and they can be exhausting. While it may feel random, our thinking tends to follow recognisable patterns; catastrophising, all-or-nothing thinking, replaying what happened on a loop. These aren't signs that something is wrong with you. They're normal responses to grief and trauma. But once you can name them, they lose some of their power.
These tools provide practical tips on understanding your thinking styles and how to manage negative or intrusive thoughts so that they lose some of their power. You may want to download or print the PDF guide so you can refer to it in harder moments.
