Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGT)
for Grief and Loss
Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGT) is a structured protocol specifically developed for complicated grief — persistent, impairing grief lasting more than 6–12 months — targeting avoidance and adjustment difficulties.
How it works
Addresses two key maintaining factors: maladaptive avoidance of grief-related content, and failure to adapt to the loss and re-engage with life. Combines exposure-based and meaning-making components.
What to watch for
Only indicated for Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD/CG) — not for normal acute grief. Requires a trained therapist. Effective even years after the loss.
