Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy

Healing Grief Through a Sense of Connection

Grief can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s accompanied by deep sadness that doesn't ease with time. Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) is a specialized therapy designed to help you find relief from this emotional pain and, for many, experience a powerful sense of connection with a loved one who has died.

Developed in 1995 by clinical psychologist Dr. Allan Botkin, IADC is a brief, focused form of psychotherapy that helps reduce the intensity of grief-related sadness. It draws from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment for trauma, but follows a unique process tailored specifically for grief and loss.

How it Works
IADC typically involves two 90-minute sessions with a trained, licensed mental health professional. During the process, most clients report feeling significantly calmer, more open, and less emotionally distressed. In this more peaceful state, many also experience a spontaneous sense of connection with their deceased loved one—sometimes through mental imagery, a felt sense of their presence, or simply a deep inner knowing. While not everyone has this experience, the majority find the process deeply comforting and transformative.

Is It Right for You?
IADC is intended for individuals who are struggling with unresolved grief and longing. To ensure the best possible outcomes, clients are eligible only if at least 6–12 months have passed since the death of their loved one.

Grief is deeply personal, and IADC may not be the right fit for everyone. I invite you to schedule a free, no-pressure screening appointment where we can discuss your experience and whether IADC may be helpful for you.
