The program ('it') helped me look at grief in a completely different way (vs only a death). The "never ask for forgiveness" was another concept that I now look at in a completely different/better way ("make an apology instead"). It helped me remember things and those things were ones that gave be a more balanced view of the other person. It led me to a place where I could see my role in the situation with clarity - and to accept the Grace available to me so that I could heal more and judge less. It also taught me new/better ways of communication with others and strengthened my empathy for myself; showing me that I also needed to forgive and love myself as well at the other. Understanding my STERBs not looking at them as faults but rather as something I can change if I really want to (these STERBs do not control me, they work but only short term which is not good enough for me, and so if I really want what I say I want I can work towards lessening the hold they have on me (one little step at a time). Another big step was validation of the truth that we are the architects of our own discomfort (something I knew but didn't understand the degree in which it actually is a broader truth vs. a hunch, and that I have more control over changing it than I had been willing to acknowledge). I learned that if you discount it you have given yourself the okay to be a victim vs. the author of your healing. Learning the difference between Guilt and wishing things could have been Different, Better, or More (and recognizing them as tools to help bring visibility to what is incomplete). And it's very interesting that this attitude of responsibility for our own feelings and actions starts with very early "influence learning". It's a way to get stuck, not a way to release what chokes us. The program opened my eyes to Cumulative Loss and the effects on my health and happiness. It is a great reminder to share positive thoughts and feelings as they occur vs. waiting until it is too late. And lastly release the need to fix yourself and others - be willing to go through the process and allow others to do the same (we are all unique).

This program combined other therapy aspects I've used in the past & I learned a new way to view grief. My grief event surfaces every so often. The program was instructional but it didn't give me immediate relief. I'm hopeful that using this program will make a difference the next time I revisit this loss/grief. My specialist, Rex Cearley, did a wonderful job presenting the programs & helping me through the steps. He is a wonderful, caring, insightful man.

I have only briefly tried to apply these learnings as our class recently finished. The program opened my eyes to things that I had not considered. It helped reframe how I thought about certain things. The first time I read about a couple of the ideas I wasn't in agreement and so I questioned them and even after the answer was given I still wasn't sure, however by the end of the course and having read the book and done the work I was convinced. I have a new and I believe better perspective that will help me be a better teach for children and a better person overall. e.g. knowing that I don't need to "fix it" is a huge relief. Confirming things I already believe and try to practice e.g. listening with love and kindness gave me confidence and flexibility to absorb and practice new/different ideas. Of particular importance are the foundational tools: Emotional Energy Checklist and "Letter". These tools will help ensure that I stay of track with the best way to help children. Lastly, this class led me to sign up for The Grief Recovery Method course which I believe will help me help children better because I will soon be in a better place myself.

This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person or online with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
