Adrienne Mejias, LMFT

My Experience

I did not think I would be able to attend all 8 weeks. But I realized on the 2nd week that this is what I have been looking for and did not know it. I will continue each month to work on one aspect , or relationship where I have experienced grief. The format is what works for me. I liked graphing and organizing my thought in groups with titles. I could easily see where I need work and where I could let go. I do well with compartments. It's when the monkey mind starts jumping all over the place that I get into an emotional crisis. Keeping it in a timeline uncovers how and where I loose traction and go on the skids of grief. For so long I could not even put a name to what was going on with me. It's so clear now. I see that there are so many times and ways that I have experienced grief and did not have a name for it.

My Experience

I felt this program helped me with identifying feelings that I had not realized I was holding. I felt some relief of heaviness I carried after completing this course, I learned that this method of grief recovery has given me a tool to use in my daily life.

My Experience

This program made me face situations that I have put away for years. Bringing those situations and people back into the forefront of my mind was extremely hard, but also refreshing as I was able to finally deal with the trauma and put them back away for good with closure.

My Experience

Since completing the program I feel as though i can talk about things that are going on in my life without having a breakdown or feel like i have to run away. I credit this program for teaching how to deal with these things. I am so very thankful for my counselor.

My Experience

This program helped me to come to terms with the loss of my father. I am very happy to have taken this journey with Adrienne Mejias. She is an excellent therapist.
