WHAT DOES A SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Often people need to talk their way through the stages of grieving: the shock, the sorrow, the anger, the fear.
Grieving requires one to feel their feelings and work their way through confusing thoughts and what life will be like moving forward.
Ezreena often uses Unblocking to gently allow clients to process any thought, feeling and body sensation - this allows clients to work through the stages of grief at their own pace.
