Testimonials For Joseph Dubowski, M.S., LMFT
Unfortunately, in the last 12 months, my family and I have lost both my uncle and grandfather from cancer. Even before these losses occured in my life, I felt that I had no idea how to cope with loss or to help others cope with losses they face. Because I know Joe from church and I know his character, I felt so much more comfortable in taking the chance and being a part of the group therapy sessions. This program has aided in my pain recovery from the losses I faced this year because it taught me that grief is a real process that may be faced because of many different life changes. I learned about STERBs and that while they may bring short-term relief, a griever really must face the core issue of the loss itself in order to recover and heal. With the support of other team members, I was able to say what I never got to say to my deceased loved one.

I have learned how to be present. More losses will come my way but the power and confusion of misinformation about what grief is and how to walk through it has been quelled. I’m grateful for this experience and have already shared the opportunity with others to join next session.

I felt that the program was very educational and helpful for me to identify with aspects of my lost relationship where closure was needed. I will continue to use this technique to deal with other past losses and future losses.
