Did You Know?

Did you know grief can live in the body just as much as the mind? The nervous system holds onto loss, sometimes long after the conscious mind has tried to move forward. That’s why certain smells, sounds, or places can trigger a flood of emotions. Releasing grief isn’t about suppressing it—it’s about giving it a new, healing pathway.

Did you know that grief isn’t just emotional—it’s neurological? Loss reshapes the brain’s wiring, affecting memory, attention, and even physical health. That’s why grief can feel like brain fog, exhaustion, or even physical pain. Healing isn’t about forgetting; it’s about rewiring. Your brain is capable of adapting, and so are you.

Did you know that there’s no such thing as “the right way” to grieve? Forget the five stages—grief doesn’t follow a script. It comes in waves, layers, and sometimes, unexpected bursts of joy. Your healing process is as unique as your love and loss. There’s no timeline, only the next step forward.

Expert Therapy and Support for Grief & Loss

Specialized Grief Support and Psychotherapy for Navigating Loss with Science and Compassion 

Grief is not just an emotional experience—it’s a full-body, neurobiological process. Loss rewires the brain, reshaping how we think, feel, and engage with the world. Whether you’re mourning the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a career, or even a version of yourself that no longer exists, grief is complex and deeply personal.

At Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates, healing is not seen as a linear process. Instead of relying on outdated “stages of grief” models, we integrate cutting-edge neuroscience with trauma-informed care to provide a personalized and adaptive approach. Using the NeuroTriad Model, we address grief at every level:

  • Cognitive (C): Understanding how loss reshapes beliefs, memories, and identity
  • Autonomic Nervous System (A): Regulating the body’s physiological stress response
  • Somatosensory (S): Processing grief through physical sensations and movement
  • Emotional (E): Creating space for the wide spectrum of emotions that arise

Through our compassionate and client-centered approach, we work with the brain’s natural healing capacities to integrate loss, rather than forcing a path toward “moving on.” The focus is on moving forward—honoring the past while creating space for a meaningful and resilient future.

A Leading Team of Grief and Trauma Specialists

The team at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates is trained in the most advanced neuroscience-backed grief interventions, ensuring that every individual receives expert, compassionate care. We support clients to process grief at every level, from emotional pain to the physiological toll it takes on the body. If grief feels like it’s taken over, know that you are not alone. Our work is designed to meet you where you are, offering science-backed strategies to help you regain balance, find meaning, and build a future that feels possible again.

At Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates, we recognize that grief is personal, unpredictable, and never one-size-fits-all. There are no “right” or “wrong” ways to grieve—only what feels true for you. We also honor that loss comes in many forms not just the deep pain of death loss—the end of a relationship, job loss, a pet’s passing, shifts in identity, or changes in family dynamics. No matter the source, grief has a profound impact on the brain and body, shaping emotions, thoughts, and even physical health. It can feel like a fog that won’t lift, a weight that won’t ease, or a wound that refuses to heal. Our team specializes in neuroscience-backed grief interventions that help rewire the brain’s response to loss, creating space for healing that is compassionate, sustainable, and transformative.

Under the leadership of Dr. Kate Truitt, a globally recognized thought leader in traumatic grief, our specialists provide expert care tailored to your unique experience.
