There are therapists who use emotional release techniques which help you deal with difficult memories, flashbacks, fears, phobias and many other emotional patterns which keep us stuck in grief. These techniques are gentle yet powerfully effective because they honor your emotions while allowing them to be released rather than numbed threw medication.
The techniques are found in a branch of psychology called Energy Pschology. One technique my therapist used with me was called Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping. You bring up the challenging or overwhelming (unprocessed) emotion and go through a series of tapping acupuncture points throughout the body while recalling it. You do this until the "charge" is gone. Over time, by using this technique (coupled with discussing things aloud) you simply work through it in your own time.
Journalling and Art Therapy are other wonderfully powerful ways to connect and honor your gried and the memories of your sister.
Slowly, you begin to emerge, forever changed by this but able to harness your energy once again and give it an outlet.
