I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in my own personal work as I trained to support others. The instructor was super friendly, patient, and empathetic. She is a wealth of knowledge and encouraging. I loved hearing about my classmates and their personalities and hearing about their experiences during this training.

This was an amazing experience for me, the care taken with the instruction of this method was unbelievable and I am excited to be part of it.

I found that the way GRM was created to allow for both deep emotional grief that was unprocessed for years while at the same time also having such a clear treatment frame allows for people to access unresolved emotional damage is unique in that I believe it can be used safely in an outpatient setting. I am incredibly excited to add the GRM regularly in my work with others as a psychologist, and am inspired to see other practitioners and educators help people through sharing their own personal journey of healing. In one word: TRANSFORMATIONAL!

I came to the GRM as a last resort. I had tried grief support groups, counseling, even medication. I confess that I didn't think it would change anything for me. Boy, was I wrong. The person who walked out of that room was hundreds of pounds lighter than the person who walked in. Cole and Sandi made sure we were blanketed in safety and compassion. I am so excited to bring to others the change and relief that 8 years of therapy did not bring me, but 4 days with these amazing humans and this knowledge did!

They training was very professional and intensive. I feel that I am capable of helping other grieving people, to ease their pain.

This training was equally transformational and practical. Never have I attended a training with so much impact on me personally. The Grief Recovery Method Certification Training ensures that the people it trains get to embody the healing that they will walk other people through.

So much personal gain from the Grief Recovery Method, which I had not done before the training; and our facilitator seamlessly modeled both the program components and how to guide groups/individuals through the program! Exceeded my expectations! 100% recommend the program and certification training.

The four day online zoom certification training was done in a very effective and professional manner. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and did a very good job portraying all of the information, and exemplifying the skills needed to be a Grief Recovery Method specialist.

I learned so much from the material covered and from the others in my class, including some real surprises about my own experiences of grief. Grief that I thought had healed or lessened with time turned out to affect me deeply still, and I'm glad to have this opportunity to recover from it while learning first-hand what a powerful tool the Grief Recovery Method is. I can see that I have a lot to learn still, both about myself and about how to help others, and I love that there are resources and support available to me as I continue.

Once I went through the Grief Recovery Method, I knew that it was the transformative program that speaks heart language to hurting people. I am delighted to go into the world with the mandate, "tell the truth about yourself all the time" because with this, I am able to move heart first as a professional.

I am excited about my certification as a Grief Recovery Specialist. I was able to walk out the process to address my own grief. This process is completely life changing and heart fixing. Grief Recovery Method is an emotional game changer.

A truly transformative experience that can bring real healing to your life and to the lives of others. Having worked in the counselling field for 25+ years, this process is a simple yet remarkably profound way forward when you feel stuck in the past and afraid to face the future.

I highly recommend doing this Certification with Sandi Derby! It was a life changing experience for me to connect with her and such an amazing group of people who are now specialists.

I believe in the GRM 1000%! I was a student in the 8 week program and that experience lead me to see being a Specialist! I’m so excited about sharing this program with others so they can experience the rich freedom this method brings!

I was very impressed with my instructors ability to navigate the material while managing the room efficiently. Ed is caring and passionate about the method and sharing it with the world. I was comfortable and shown grace while also being emotionally protected. While I am emotionally spent, I learned a great deal. I was able to work through an issue I'd carried for many years. I look forward to working in the community and sharing the freedom this method promotes.

I walked into this training expecting to just get taught the materials we would need to teach but actually walking through the method helped me grasp the concept better. It is a class you have to commit to in order to get the most out of it but it is worth it! The only downside I have with this course is that most classes are on the weekend. If you have little ones that can mean an additional cost to find childcare.

The facilitators training the future specialist are amazing and full of knowledge. Sandi took us into the experience step-by-step.
