Testimonials For Vicki Hagadorn
Vicki is amazing. She delivered and explained everything thoroughly, even sharing her own process to make things crystal clear. She is a very compassionate listener which makes it very easy to access and recount the communication that I needed to connect with and share. I felt safe and heard.

In completing this process, I now feel peaceful and not fearful of hearing my mom's name come up without feeling any negativity. Also, it has brought insight and clear self-awareness of past relationships so I'm able to set healthy boundaries and stick up for myself. Thank you...

I believe mapping a relationship, from beginning to end, gives the grieving person an opportunity to voice the emotions at each "age", giving each "part" an opportunity to be heard, held and healed.

It helped me work through a difficult situation with my husband and gave me skills to put things behind me, respond differently in the present.

The GRM walked me through foundations of grief (death of a parent) to current grief (rejection by an adopted child) to future hardships (upcoming move). This was a 10/10 program that I want to pursue becoming a grief Recovery Specialist to help others.

It helped bring closure to problems I had with my parents that stayed with me through out my life which had me allowing people into my life who used me and I allowed them to because I thought myself unworthy. It helped me find closure from my husband dying and being in an emotionally abusive relationship with him. I can now forgive and know I am worthy. It helped me to learn to stand up for myself. It is helping me now in moving from my home which I have for 50 years and going through the emotional aspects of leaving. I am going to bring my children and grandchildren into each room to remember our memories and say good bye so we can all move on to a new chapter.

I came in with a surge of stressors and feelings getting in the way of how I show up in the world. My leadership coach suggested I explore GR and recommended a coach. Within the first 5 pages of the book, I immediately saw how this ALL applied to me. I was so excited about how straightforward the approach is to getting down into the depths of things that seem beyond reach, emotionally. And, I especially liked that I could 'get through it' in less than 2 months. This is THE BEST VALUE of my time and mental health dollars I have ever invested in myself in my life.

The Grief Recovery Process is more than just recovering from Grief, but a powerful tool to discover life long belief systems that do not serve the griever. By diligently doing the work I was able to not only end up seeing my loved one through new eyes, but I was also able to go back and pinpoint exact moments where I learned unhealthy behaviors and mindsets. Armed with the realization that these unhealthy patterns of behavior were never mine to begin with I was able to simple choose to "drop" them. There are no words to express just how freeing that was

I have come to the program really broken, sad and in a lot of pain. I have struggled to be present in the moment and was getting really irritable with my kids. Since completing the program I feel much more complete with my grief. I have new emotional relationship with my Dad that passed away suddenly this year. I also helped my children to process their grief. This program was life transforming

Both Vicki Hagadorn's professional expertise and personable approach, and the program's practical and powerful process, combined to deliver an excellent experience for me. Vicki was professional, respectful, flexible and very supportive every step of the way, giving me the time and space I need to process and apply the assignments. The process itself is highly engaging without being overwhelming. I appreciate the practical steps that, whilst emotional, were simple to apply and process. I will continue recommending this program and am very thankful for the obvious work and commitment that went into designing it.

The GRM helped me to pull out unresolved feelings and emotions that I hadn't allowed to come to the surface so I could deal with them. I have a new understanding of why I was feeling the way I was and feel such a weight lifted off of my heart.

This program worked for me because I put the work in. I have struggled for a very long time. Knowing Vicki was in my corner, that I could trust her, that I could open up to her, not be judged or shamed for my thoughts or feelings, and not be afraid to speak up, gave me the strength to work through this process with my whole heart. Vicki led me on a path of discovery. And that path was not easy. Things I hadn't realized, affected me much more than I thought. Vicki gave me a safe space to verbalize and work through my thoughts without judgment or advice on what to do next. She guided me through this process so I could gain clarity on what's next for me. And I'm proud and happy to say that I do have a clearer picture of what's next, something I've never been able to see. She helped me to realize that I'm not broken, that I am worthy. Vicki truly is a "heart with ears". I am deeply grateful for her, her kindness and caring, her patience and time, and I could never say thank you enough! This process is definitely worth the effort, the work and the time.

The program enabled basic education of how to process emotions and how to set up tools to work through challenging situations and forgive hurts that have happened. Dealing with emotional health is not something we are taught in today's American society, unless we seek out individual therapy on our own. That said, this process was great to go through learn and be a more complete person so we can create a more quality society by being present and setting good examples in our communities when loss occurs.

Highly recommended for anyone who has gone through general counseling (or even if you haven’t ) yet still feels deeper healing needs to be done. This is a program like none other. It reaches down and searches the innermost parts of our souls to find the hidden areas that need final healing once and for all. I’m ready to do even more work in other relationships and bring about more freedom to walk this life.

I started this program because my daddy died of alcohol overdose and it has been the most painful and traumatic experience of my life. When I started this program I was full of rage, life made no sense any more and I could not enjoy anything at all. The last few years I was primarily focusing on all of the negatives about my relationship with my dad and I forgot about all of his good things. The most beautiful discovery about this program is that it reminded me of all his good things too, it helped me see him for who he really was. It made me love him more. It allowed me to start healing from this unbearable loss.

I have learned a lot about how to listen to others. The biggest impact for me is that for the first time I feel safe to actually cry and not stuff my feelings.

The grief recovery program helped me deal with and cope with the lack of mothering I recieved in my childhood as well as the lack continued into adulthood. I can now seperate who I am vs how I am treated by my mother. Those two are not the same! This helped me get clear on those seperations and in turn become a better mother.

I have gained much more clarity in my life and am able to be completely present with my family and friends! Through this program I’ve been able to set healthy boundaries with people that I’ve felt intimidated by before! I’m extremely grateful for this program and would highly recommend it to anyone! It’s totally worth the work!

I have spent many years trying to work through some pretty intense trauma and loss that has happened in my life by going to traditional therapy. However, going to grief recovery has resulted in me making some huge breakthroughs in my healing process and even my therapist is impressed. She is so impressed that she recommends people to attend GR. I am so grateful to have the tools from GR and wish I knew about this a lot earlier in my life.

This program taught me to much about myself, and helped me connect to who I am. I feel free from the grief that has limited me and held me back for so long. I am much more confident in much relationships and have more sympathy for others.
