Jim Brady, Certified GRM Specialist

My Experience

Key word for me? method. Structure seems a close cousin to rational emotive therapy. Thankfully, it goes further. More enabling by internalizing a standard of empirical judgement tied to specific actions one might choose to take. In a word...self-actualizing. In present-day climate is problematic -- rejects any explanation on how to use gender. This program gets its point across as well as is possible. For that, I'm glad. (sets and clears the parameters of personhood). However, I would like to add there ARE grieving differences which need attention. I don't think this particular program should do that - a back-brief for facilitators might be helpful to simply ask, or suggest, that client consider brief conversations with same gender friends. (a subtle means of encouraging community building in their life outside the program...) I found support in my grief and realized I really am not crazy. Whew! I finished the 7 weeks more confident that I can continue making adjustments to my own grief and loss.

My Experience

This program has helped me a lot. My roommate said that she thought I was depressed, so she suggested going to the program. Since it had already started, I met with Jim Brady individually. I thought Jim did an excellent job as I thought he would. I am completely satisfied with how I feel now as different from what I felt before even with a religious background before.

My Experience

My loss occurred after having recently moved from my hometown, away from my family and having quit my job, which I learned were also losses and had quite the bombardment effect in my life. We are getting ready to move again, and completing this course before leaving has really helped me be prepared to leave the area feeling free and clear and not at all resentful for the loss. I hope I can help my young son be prepared to leave and accept the change and newness that this move will bring.
