My name is Paola Andrea Benítez. I studied Political Science at Javeriana University, Bogota, Colombia, and did a 6-month Conflict Resolution Course at Upsala University, Sweden. I am in my last year of a master's degree in social work - Mental Health and Substance Use track- with the University of Texas at Arlington. I have always been interested in the well being of the whole person. After my own experience of healing through the Grief Recovery Method, I decided to become a Grief Recovery Specialist. It is my passion to help others to growth, heal and have hope. I love the Grief Recovery Method because it is a way to look back into one's life, taking it to the present, and be aware of our emotional history. The learning that this brings is extremely powerful! We can untie the knots of negative feelings that are preventing us from living a more joyful life and being free.
