Every athlete experiencing a sports-related injury will experience grief. 

Sports provide people with identity and community. With the loss of engaging in sports during recovery or full loss of their sport, tremendous grieving can occur.

 

I will journey through the five stages of grief with you. We will examine your identity and help create new coping skills, exercise and hobbies. This journey is not only physically painful, as the emotional pain is often worse.

 

Recovery from an injury is an isolating time, you deserve support.
