Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
The Grief Recovery Method offers counselors a tool to help walk people through their grief. Grieving people will often need more that being able to discuss their feelings and experience and request to physically do something. I believe that this will be a powerful tool during my chaplaincy care of veterans and their families.

I took all the classes in GRM, and then I was encouraged to take the training by my co-worker Rex Cearley. I am so glad I did; that changed my perspective of seeing people dealing with loss and pain and gave me the tool to guide them to get out of suffering and find that the way we handled loss in the past has left a print in our present and future and is the way we manage our loss. I don't watch movies the same way. I have more compassion for the character dealing with loss and know about grief recovery; God creates us with one heart and two ears.

It was great experience not only with my classmates, but with Catherine Best. The encouragement from Catherine and my classmates was something I have not experienced before. I learned that I am not the only one who has gone through a loss, but now I have the tools to be able to continue to help myself and others.

The Grief Recovery Specialist Certification Training was the best training I have ever received. Not only is the method fantastic, but my instructor (Sandi Derby) was incredible. I would absolutely recommend this training and cannot wait to implement this method in my work.

I already have experience with GRM prior to the training multiple times. Learning deeper and having many questions answered during the training greatly helped to appreciate the Method even more. Thank you, Catherine!

This training really helped me to learn how to help myself and others walk through a recovery process. I loved that no loss/trauma was too big or too small. I learned to give equal value and respect to each person's life experience by simply listening with an open heart. I found the process personally healing and that is what really convinced me that this will actually work for the clients I serve as well! Our instructor, Sandi, was fabulous! She was welcoming, kind and non-judgmental. She was very interesting and professional with her presentation style.

I had gone through Divorce care and other training during my career dealing with workplace issues. I have never looked at grief recovery and to have a method to help myself and others deal with grief and not just suppress it was goes against everything I learned in the past. Mike do an awesome job covering the myths and also was very patient in helping me break old habits to be able to pinpoint the sources of my grief and deal with it piece by piece through the loss and relationship graphs. The method of determine how others hurt me and I hurt them really helped me clearly address my grief. I look forward in being able to share this with others.

The Certification Training was not only informational but personal. Going through the process for myself was an eyeopener as well as liberating. I felt lighter by the end of the program, and the Specialist/Instructor made me feel that she really cared. Thank you.

I experienced the liberation that comes from releasing and letting someone and even myself go through the act of forgiveness, apologizing and offering positive statements to others and myself.

I knew that after I experienced my first GRM individual program to work on my grief after the loss of my 9 year old daughter that this was something I wanted to do. The best part about the training is that they not only teach you the concepts of how to guide people through the method, run the classes, market yourself and get running, but you as a specialist get to experience the method yourself. I had the opportunity to experience once before, but others on the training had not. I was able to watch their lives transform over the course of the training and a be a part of the success of another person by participating in the the training. This helped to solidify my desire to go and help others with their grief as well. The training is comprehensive, our trainer Gwen Russo was such a caring and capable specialist and I could feel her compassion for us all. The onboarding call was so valuable to help me plan to get my practice up and running, and the resources in the back office is impressive. Such a great training experience and value we get with the program.

May be the price for people who wants to take with getting help from any organization will be a bit difficult. Other than that it is worth it.
