1.Grief Crisis Counseling
Most people associate grief counseling with the loss of a loved one. This is the most common
time for people to seek grief counseling, but the process is suitable for many other times of
crisis as well. Life offers us many things to grieve over: age, illness, injury, loss. Grounds for needing grief counseling can be as diverse as post-amputation counseling, counseling for job loss, or for the sense of grief many feel when their children become adults and leave home,
altering life in so many profound ways. Grief counseling centers on ensuring a process of
grieving that allows a patient to fully honor a loss, yet still move on to live a full life beyond the loss.
2.Rape Counseling
This highly specialized form of counseling includes the emergency counseling in the
immediate aftermath of rape, and the longer, more complex counseling in the months
following, as a victim tries to regain a sense of security and worth. Immediate attention and
long-arc counseling are appropriate, and may often be provided by more than one counselor.
In many instances, emergency rape counseling is offered by first-response teams: police, ER
attendants, doctors, nurses, rape-crisis call respondents. These counselors are trained to help a victim cope with the immediate pain and shock. A long-arc counselor is trained to support a
victim through the aftermath. The long-arc counselor can deal more intensely with grief,
anger, misplaced guilt, fear, sexual anxiety, and more.
3.Post Catastrophe Counseling
There are so many catastrophic events that can tear though human life. Counselors trained in
post-catastrophic work deal with the victims of natural disasters, wars, auto accidents,
terrorism, workplace or school violence, and more. This form of counseling focuses on
regaining a sense of stability. Post-traumatic stress syndrome is a common concern, as is
survivor guilt, hyper-vigilance, and chronic anxiety.
For many people, post-catastrophe counseling involves a brief, intense period of counseling
followed by a far more limited follow-up. For some, the process can take much longer,
depending on the particular injuries trauma has done. Predicting who may need longer
therapy and why is seldom possible.
