Testimonials For Support Groups
The program was Outstanding I wouldn’t have asked for a better group and Johanna Parra was amazing at showing us so many different methods on how we can grow as individuals and not be overcome by the obstacles we have had to face in our life. This was an amazing experience and I would recommend this for anyone and everyone who needs the help of an amazing organization such as the program I was so honored to be in.

I truly felt lighter as I sorted my grief, honestly considered its impact, and shared my apologies, forgives, and significant emotional statements. This process brought clarity and intentionality in examining my thoughts and feelings. It’s been another piece in the puzzle in evaluating the impact of trauma, PTSD, abuse, loss, anxiety, and depression.

Great information with skills building to help come to closure with grief from death and various losses.

Provided a format that was helpful, ie, loss graph and relationship graph. Pairing with a partner who maintained a safe space and did not interrupt my process was helpful. Writing the letter with statements that Marie provided for guidance was very helpful. The book was inadequate in providing this. Also, I think it’s inappropriate to be advised by the authors that to hand over a Kleenex when the partner needs one or being told in the book that wiping away your tears when listening to your partner signals that crying is not ok. That’s silly. I will be recommending this course with Marie as facilitator.

It allowed me to gain the tools to understand, cope, grieve, and to move forward from any type of loss I would come in contact with in my future or could help anyone that should cross my path. I am very appreciative that I was able to take this class.

By teaching me the different kinds of losses and allowing me to grieve and complete relationships I haven't had a chance to.

The graphs help me remember the good memories, not just the bad. It also helped me remember things that were stuffed or long forgotten. The letter at the end made me want to complete one for each relationship I have grieved for.

I wasn’t sure if I needed the program but thought I’d try because I had a sense of blockage around grief, as if it was hard to empathize with others grief. I suspected it had to do with a relationship that was lost. I focused on that relationship in the program and as I did my relationship graph and listed my strong emotional statements, I could feel a shift in my energy. I felt more excited about working on my career and a little more confident. I was already pretty in touch with my feelings and how to express them, but the program helped me go deeper and I think I will be more open to being present with others who grieve.

Having finished the lessons, I now more aware of my feelings as to how I related to my husband. When thoughts and feelings come now I know that I need to say goodbye to those feeling again. Also I realized so much of what happened was also related to how I was brought up and happenings in my childhood.
