Grief can leave you carrying questions, longing, and a sense of unfinished connection.
• Maybe you miss the sound of their voice.
• Maybe you find yourself looking for signs that they are still somehow with you.
• Maybe you are looking for meaning after having a dream of them, hearing a song that you listened to together, or smelling a fragrance that brings you back to a memory of them, or experiencing a feeling that you felt when you were with them.
• Or maybe you have not experienced anything like that at all—you simply want a different way to work with the depth of your grief.
• You do not need to hold any particular spiritual belief to explore Induced After-Death Communication.
• The purpose of IADC is not to prove what happens after death. It is to create space for healing, connection, and a greater sense of peace around the loss of someone you love.
What is Induced After-Death Communication?
Induced After-Death Communication, or IADC, is a grief-focused therapy method developed by Dr. Allan Botkin.
IADC uses techniques derived from EMDR, although it differs from the standard EMDR protocol.
During the process, some people report an experience of connection or communication with the person who died. Others may experience a shift in their grief without having an after-death communication at all.
You do not have to decide whether an experience is spiritual, psychological, symbolic, or something else.
What matters is what the experience means to you and whether it helps you move toward greater peace, connection, and healing.
WHAT CAN AN AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION FEEL LIKE?
An ADC can take many forms.
• A smell that immediately reminds you of the person you lost
• Seeing an animal, bird, butterfly, or other symbol that feels connected to them
• Hearing a song that brings a strong sense of their presence
• Dreaming about them or having a vivid conversation with them in a dream
• Hearing their voice or your name being called
• Finding an object that carries special meaning or reminds you of them
• Experiencing another unexpected sense of connection, presence, or knowing
Something like this may happen during an IADC session—or it may not.
The goal of IADC is not to make an after-death communication happen, but to be able to have a space to truly feel the depths of your sadness and then have more peace around your loss with the chance of a communication being the bonus.
The focus is helping you work with grief and move toward a greater sense of peace around the death of your loved one.
What an IADC experience is like:
1. Prepare
We begin by talking about your loss, your relationship with the person who died, and what you are carrying now.
You do not need to have any particular spiritual or religious belief.
2. Process
IADC uses EMDR-based techniques to work with the emotional pain connected to the loss.
We move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your experience.
3. Notice
What EmergesYou may experience imagery, memories, emotions, a sense of connection, or something that feels like communication from your loved one.
You may also simply notice a shift in the way you hold the grief.
There is no single “right” experience.
4. Integrate
We make space to reflect on what came up and what it means to you.
I may also offer optional meditative support or journaling as part of the integration process.
SESSION FORMAT
IADC is offered as:
• Two 90-minute sessions
• Scheduled on two consecutive days
• Optional meditation or journaling support
Fee: $450
If you would like to make your IADC experience into an intensive that is also an option.
The goal is not to erase grief.It is to help you carry the loss differently.
IADC may offer a way to process the pain of the death, reconnect with the love that remains, and experience a greater sense of peace around what you have lost.
