Hello. I am happy to meet you on your tough journey through grief. I would like to tell you how I found the Grief Recovery Method. A couple of years ago my teen daughter lost her boyfriend to self-harm and in the journey of finding her help I met a lady who is a Grief Recovery Method Specialist, she could clearly see that I was not ok and wanted to help me and my daughter. She said to me “I am not a therapist, but I am trained with this program, and I can offer you this support in the time while you are waiting for a therapist to have open appointments.” We accepted her help and worked through the program on 2 relationships each with her. It was extremely helpful to have someone to talk to with no judgement, no analyzing of the situation, just an open heart and ears to listen. I worked through this program, it helped a lot, I have had losses in my life since I was 2 yrs. old, a few examples are: CSA, sibling abuse, spouse abuse, addiction within the family, murder, cancer, sudden shocking deaths, and self-harm. The tools you learn doing this program are priceless to help you to feel like you finally have some completion with things that have been heavy on your heart for a very long time. I have experience with volunteering at a hospice in the town I lived in before all of this, and now, a few years later, I found myself wanting to help other people with their grief again. As a Registered Massage Therapist for the last 20yrs. I have found that people who have grief or trauma will hold things in their body from their experiences, usually how it happens is they have a few massages and the area of their body that is sore and hurting just wont let go, but once they are comfortable with me they just end up telling me their story while on the massage table, and the area of their body that has been causing problems will finally release. I wanted more tools to help people and I remembered the Grief Recovery Method and how much it helped my daughter and I. So, I signed up to take the training to be able to help more people. I offer online 1 on 1 classes through zoom. If you feel like we could be a good fit, I would love to hear from you to confirm if we are a good fit to help you. With Love and Peace Teresa
