You’ve probably heard of the wonder hormone, oxytocin, before…

The stuff of babies and mothers, the hormone that has enabled superb human achievement through the basic building blocks of society: the bond between infants and their carers.

And we need it as adults too - even if it can be harder to come by, depending on how we interact with others and our physical environment.

Very often in my therapy sessions, the spirits of loved ones will come through.

I may feel them as a cold breeze, a tingling along my back, or I may intuitively sense the presence of a family member.

What do your loved ones visit for?

Solace can be hard to find during any kind of loss. Yet comfort is what the heart most longs for during experiences of grief and mourning.

We lose loved ones through death, illness, and even dementia or divorce. Loss occurs in many ways and grief is an entirely natural response, seen in humans as well as in animals.
