Traumatic Grief Therapy Intensives

Losing someone suddenly and unexpectedly changes everything. Whether it was due to an accident, illness, suicide, or other tragedy, the weight of grief after a sudden loss can feel disorienting, overwhelming, and deeply isolating. It can affect your ability to function, relate, and even feel like yourself.

​

At Colorado Therapy Intensives, we offer specialized support for individuals navigating the complex emotional landscape of grief after a sudden loss or an unexpected death. Our therapy intensives provide a focused, compassionate container for healing when traditional weekly therapy isn’t enough.

​

What Happens After A Traumatic Death or Sudden Loss?

 

​The emotional toll of tragic deaths and sudden losses can take on many different shapes and forms and may include:

• Intense waves of sadness, numbness, or guilt

• Difficulty sleeping, eating, or concentrating

• Anger, confusion, or questioning of your beliefs

• Feelings of isolation or detachment from others

• A deep sense that life has lost meaning or direction

​

​These are normal, yet incredibly painful responses to adverse experiences. You're not broken, you're grieving. And you deserve the time and space to do that with specialized support. 

​​

Why Choose a Therapy Intensive for Grief?

Grief after a sudden death can feel complex and confusing. Our grief therapy intensives are designed to give you the dedicated time, structure, and presence that traditional therapy formats often can’t offer.

In your intensive, we’ll work together to:

• Make sense of your unique grief process

• Regulate your nervous system after shock or trauma

• Walk through unresolved feelings

• Begin rebuilding trust in yourself and the world

• Find ways to honor your loss without getting lost in it​

​

What to Expect

Our traumatic grief therapy intensives are tailored to your story and needs. Each one includes:

• A pre-intensive consultation to assess readiness and goals

• 1–4 days of extended therapy (4–6 hours/day)

• EMDR for grief and trauma 

• Space for culturally relevant rituals, reflection, and integration

• Optional follow-up sessions for ongoing support

 

Traumatic grief therapy intensives offer you presence, structure, and compassionate guidance at a time when everything feels upside down.

Who Traumatic Grief Therapy Intensives Are For

Our therapy intensives may be a fit for you if:

• You’ve experienced the tragic or sudden death of a loved one and feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected

• Weekly therapy hasn’t felt like enough to process the depth of your grief

• You want to address both the emotional and physiological impact of loss

• You’re seeking a private, supportive space to fully show up for your healing​​​

​

Why Work with a Traumatic Grief Therapist?

Grief after a tragic death is layered, unpredictable, and often misunderstood. Our specialized therapy intensives offer structure, depth, and tools for navigating the pain in a trauma informed way.

You don’t have to grieve alone. And you don’t have to hide how hard it’s been.
