IADC Therapy
What happens in session During an IADC session
We focus on a grief-related memory while using gentle bilateral stimulation. Many clients experience a reduction in emotional pain, and some report a spontaneous sense of connection, peace, or resolution.
What clients often report
Clients frequently report decreased grief distress, improved emotional regulation, and a healthier integration of their continuing bond with the deceased.
Who may benefit?
Those who are experiencing prolonged grief, traumatic grief, and persistent emotional pain after loss. IADC can support resolution, closure, or a sense of completion around unfinished conversations or unresolved feelings.
Is IADC safe?
Yes. IADC is grounded in established traumaprocessing methods similar to EMDR and is conducted in a safe, clinical setting. The process is client-led and always voluntary. It is not hypnosis, guided imagery, or mediumship, but a therapeutic approach focused on emotional healing.
How many sessions is IADC
IADC consists of two 90 minute sessions, two days in a row.
Is IADC covered by insurance?
We can bill insurance for IADC for two 90 minute sessions. It is up to the client to determine what their coverage is.
How long has IADC been around?
It was developed in the late 90's by Dr. Allan Botkin after discovering a unique phenomon during EMDR sessions with Vietnam vets.
66 – 75% of IADC clients report experiencing an ADC during therapy.
In a 43-participant trial, 79 % reported ADC experiences.
IADC shows greater overall symptom reduction compared to traditional grief counseling.
Outside therapy, up to 70 % – 80 % of bereaved people report spontaneous ADCs within a year of loss.
Grief Group
Grief can feel isolating, even when surrounded by people. A grief group provides a structured, supportive space where individuals can share their experiences with others who understand the complexity of loss. Being witnessed by peers who are navigating similar pain reduces isolation, normalizes emotional responses, and fosters connection.
Group support also promotes healing through shared meaning- making, continued bonds, and the opportunity to process grief in a safe and validating environment. Participants often discover new coping strategies, increased resilience, and a renewed sense of hope as they realize they are not alone in their journey.
