I have experienced losses in my life that have deeply hurt me and have affected my daily life. I have never done counseling of any kind, and I was skeptical of the Grief Recovery Method. This method, taken step-by-step and with attention and time, has made such a difference in how I view the loss of my dad now. Faye encouraged me to do the work and to take time with my thoughts and emotions. With her encouragement and patience and the clear direction and guidance of the Method book, I feel that I can move past the pain of the loss of my dad and all the unfinished communication and remember our whole relationship. I have someone else with whom I have a painful relationship. I am going to start my relationship graph for her soon. This is a method that I can use for the rest of my life.

The program helped me to see where I had learned wrong information about grief. Being able to learn more useful tools ensures my recovery from painful events. I believe my relationships will be fuller and more honest. I cannot change the losses of my past...but with this method I am able to be more open and vulnerable with the people I love.

It has helped me understand that we all have different ways of grieving and its okay to cry to have emotions and that I do not have to apologize for my grief and each of us may grieve for different reasons. I would recommend this program to anyone going through a loss

I can say that I’m actively more aware now. When there is a sudden death, it’s so hard to figure out emotions. I can say that me as a human doesn’t spend enough time communicating and working through certain things… even when it comes to my kids. I’m acutely aware now of how lacking my communication has been and how important it is to the success of my marriage and my relationships with my children. Mostly, wanting them to grow up knowing good communication is key. STERBS were a little embarrassing to admit, but again, becoming acutely aware of what they are and how we use them and why we use them. Such a good way to become even more acutely aware of how we deal with emotions…stress, anxiety and grief. I feel like I can breathe now. I’ve said the things I wanted to say and now have no regrets. Thank you Steve Johnson!

I have experienced a lot of loss and trauma in my life and I knew there were areas in my past that I needed to work through and pain I needed to heal from. As scary and nerve racking as it was, Paula helped me work through these areas and made me realize that I am more than capable of moving past the pain and hurt I’ve carried on my shoulders for all these years. In this 8 week program I was able to forgive people in my life that I never imagined I would have the courage to do. Paula helped me understand that forgiveness doesn’t mean giving power back to the person that hurt you. It means setting yourself free from the pain they’ve caused you. I have learned so many incredible tools from Paula that I know will be so useful as I get older! I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with her!

It helped me really look at myself, my childhood, and the effects of how I came to cope over time from parental/family influences and my life experiences overall. It helped me get to the root of a problem and how to deal with it in a healthy way

I think the most helpful aspects of the program was that it normalized the feelings that I was having and showed me that I was not the only one who had experienced the specific loss that I worked on. It also helped me to identify the unhelpful thoughts that I was having and change them to reflect the whole picture. I think I will be more self aware moving forward in allowing myself to accurately identify and express my feelings.

Ioana helped me tremendously, the wealth of knowledge she has concerning grief made the program work very well for me. The love, the kindness and the support Ioana gave me pulled me out of the grief I was drowning in. The program worked for me by giving me the opportunity to speak my truth without judgement and interference. I had a chance to say everything I needed to say that hurt me and get my closure. I had a chance to say the good things I needed to say to acknowledge the love and the good times. I had the chance to say my wishes and hope for the the present and the future. I had the chance to bid the pain good-bye, and now the hyper-vigilance I used to experience has left me. The emotional medication I used to cope has stopped. I'm very grateful to the loving kindness Ioana has applied to this method. I now have the tools to use for every unpleasant situation I may experience in the future.

I have carried the weight of my divorse for 20 years. I was finally able to have healing and completion. I already notice a huge difference from the first session till know. I learned that grief is not just for physical loss of a person but many different events or experiences we go through in life. I am looking forward to completing other losses, and relationships in my life.

My emotions and thoughts are validated by the way the program are directed, it makes me realize that I am not crazy, that I am not weak. My emotions strained my relationship with my husband at the time bcos he couldn’t help me but when he read parts of the book and heard my explanation based on what the counselor shared with me, he could understand why I’m feeling the way I feel. Highly recommend.
