Healing Grief and Loss Through Induced After-Death Communication (IADC)
Finding Comfort and Connection After Loss
Grief can feel overwhelming. It can leave you with unanswered questions, lingering pain, and a deep longing for connection with the person you lost. Induced After Death Communication, also known as IADC, is a gentle and structured therapeutic process that helps you move through grief while honoring your relationship and easing emotional suffering.
Although research on IADC continues to grow, many people who experience this process describe a profound sense of peace, closure, or renewed hope. For some, it becomes a meaningful turning point that allows them to continue living with love and intention.
What Is Induced After-Death Communication?
IADC was developed by Dr. Allan Botkin in a clinical setting for trauma survivors. It uses a specific eye-movement protocol similar to EMDR. During the process, some individuals report a vivid and healing sense of connection with their loved one.
Every person’s experience is unique and there is no guaranteed outcome. Even so, many clients share that they felt:
Relief from intense grief
A comforting sense of presence or closeness
Greater peace or acceptance
A release of guilt, regret, or unfinished emotional pain
IADC is considered an emerging therapeutic approach. It is not yet widely recognized as an evidence-based treatment, but early studies and many personal accounts describe meaningful emotional relief.
Who Can Benefit from IADC?
You may benefit from IADC if you are:
Struggling to cope after the death of a loved one
Feeling stuck in grief despite previous therapy or support
Holding guilt, regret, or unfinished conversations
Experiencing grief-related anxiety, sadness, or sleep disruptions
Longing for a sense of peace, connection, or emotional relief
IADC can be especially supportive after pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss, traumatic grief, or sudden loss.
What to Expect in an IADC Session
IADC is typically offered as two ninety-minute sessions scheduled within a short period of time, often a few days apart. This format allows you to stay connected to the emotional process without losing momentum.
Each session begins with gentle grounding so you feel safe and supported. We then use a specialized bilateral stimulation process, similar to EMDR, to engage your brain’s natural ability to process emotions and memories. For some clients, this work leads to a vivid or comforting sense of connection with their loved one.
Outcomes can vary and no specific experience is guaranteed. However, many people find that these two sessions bring a meaningful sense of peace, softening, or emotional release.
Why Choose IADC for Grief and Loss?
IADC works with deep emotional processing rather than relying only on talk therapy. For many people, the experience offers relief in a shorter number of sessions. Some describe feeling closer to their loved one, more at ease in their grief, or more able to move forward while carrying their connection in a healthier way.
