At Sparrow Counseling in Birmingham, AL we know grief can unknowingly live in the body for years. It takes work to go back to those hard memories and allow us to mourn those losses. In relationships, our core memories and experiences define how we see things. Because of this, unprocessed grief can lead to repeating coping skills that have been present for a long time like how we communicate, how we behave, and how emotionally available we are with others.

Parental anxiety can cause children to develop anxiety of their own. Before you start to negatively impact your children and your fears and worries become theirs, we want to help you learn ways to cope with your own anxiety and learn to navigate to a more relaxed state of being.

Unprocessed grief is when someone doesn't go through the important stages of grieving. Instead of acknowledging and accepting their emotions, they may try to ignore them or numb them in unhealthy ways. This can lead to a lot of problems in relationships. When someone doesn't process their grief, it can be difficult for them to communicate well. They may struggle to express their thoughts and feelings, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflict.
