Testimonials For Tara Goodwin
I have worked through 2 very different situations of grief with Tara. Both sessions, she shared why she uses this method and how it has helped her. She recognizes and shares it might not be one and done, because many people have multiple situations of unresolved grief. She listened so well and was so supportive! I plan to go back and do more work in the future.

I did not realize how much grief I was carrying. In looking at grief from a new perspective, I was able to see many situations I have been holding on to. Some of them I have been carrying on purpose, but there are also situations that I hold without even having an intent to carry them. I was able to let go of some very hard feelings about losing my mom. On top of that, during this same time, I was able to look at my relationship with my spouse in a new way. I will do grief work on that relationship, but I have come to appreciate my spouse in new ways since I have started examining my grief. I learned A Lot. Overall, it was a very good experience. I have recommended it to others already.

This program was so enlightening and helpful during my divorce. During the process I've already indetified 3 other losses that I would like to complete using the Grief Recovery Method. The method validated the feelings someone experiancing grief goes through instead of dismissing them with the myths and unhelpful comments. I learned how to acknowledge and accept my feelings and my story and the relationship graph and completion letter really help you let go of the pain. I also learned how to be a respectful and effective listener and the power in being able to share your story without judgement, questions or criticism. I have already recommended this program to many of my friends and family. I look forward to continuing the work of recovery and hopefully being able to help my children, friends and family learn a better way to grieve.

I learned so much! Every parent and educator should be required to take this class. Every single person experiences grief and loss, and so many get stuck and are paralyzed at times by the resulting anxiety and depression. I can see how this method can lift the dark clouds of grief and help people to move forward in their life.

The program has helped me to understand the accumulative nature of grief and how we can carry it through life with us. When we don't have the tools to complete our relationship with a loss sustained, we can't move forward in a meaningful way. The program has taught me the importance of not rushing through my feelings or burying them deep because something hurts or makes me feel vulnerable and/or uncomfortable. The program has taught me that all people have grief and that people will listen and will share about their own losses when it is done so in a safe environment.
