Testimonials For Ed Owens
I had a fabulous, even transformative, experience in the 4-day training to become a Grief Recovery Method Specialist. I was very impressed with both the professionalism of the training as well as with the genuine caring of Ed, our instructor, and the therapeutic environment he fostered and modeled for us. At the end of the fourth day, all of us in the class agreed this was exceptional, impactful training, well beyond the typical educational experience. In addition to learning hows and whys of the Method, I came away from the training having worked through some of my own grief successfully and with a cohort of beloved Specialist friends to stay in touch with. Two thumbs' up.

The facilitator did an amazing job guiding us through such a difficult topic. He balanced education, reflection, and open conversation in a way that felt very supportive and safe. I look forward to using the materials and resources to help others as this class helped me.

My training was wonderful. Ed was very attentive and knowledgeable about the process and modeled what he expected from us. The one thing that would have helped me would be an actual graph, even a made up one, that I could hold in my hand as an example. I am a visual learner, and this would have helped me get it quicker. Personally, this training helped me on a journey I had already begun. It let me know I was going in the right direction and provided tools to get there quickly. I already have some professional prospects to use this model with. I am excited about growing my knowledge and getting comfortable using this model to assist others.

Ed is extremely knowledgeable about the grief recovery method. He helped me to answer some questions I have held on to for a long time. He also helped me to identify some things I didnt know I felt. Thanks to his guidance I was able to get past some of my own grief and learn to help others on their recovery journey.

i appreciate the added value this Certification class adds to not only my credentials personally, but to the value it has the potential to add in my community, given "willing participants". The on line training was convenient. The after-class support is incredible, the resources extensive, and.. following the Method really works to relieve emotional pain! Thank you! - Jennifer
