Title: Inhibit Grieving: The Dangers & How to Stop It | Empower Your Mind
Headings: 
This week we are talking all about dialectical dilemmas & our topic is: inhibited grieving.
Inhibited grieving is just what it sounds like: grief that has been held back, restrained, or otherwise prevented from being fully experienced.
All that we inhibit when we block off grief is our own healing process.
Grief can come from any sort of change or loss: a divorce, loss of a pet, a move, a job change, etc.
Inhibited grieving can look like:
Here’s how you can begin to intentionally work through your own grieving process without ignoring or restricting it:
Acknowledge the loss:
Give yourself space to express your grief without shame:
Lean on your support system:
Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.” -Samuel Johnson
Think different, do more, worry less.

Content: It inhibits our healing process. Inhibited grieving can look like: Staying busy
Pushing emotions away
Isolating the self from anything that reminds you of the grief
Healing from grief can only happen when we acknowledge our grief. If a major life change or loss happens in your life and you feel yourself trying to restrict your grieving process, pushing away strong emotions, or trying to stay busy you may be inhibiting your grieving (& healing) process. Here’s how you can begin to intentionally work through your own grieving process without ignoring or restricting it: Acknowledge the loss: Whether it’s loss through death, the end of a relationship, loss of a job, a move, don’t ignore the loss or try to pretend that everything is normal. Instead, reflect on all the ways the person, relationship, job, place, etc. helped you grow. Express gratitude for the experience you had with them.
