Testimonials For Ed Owens
Learned so much about why people grieve that I never ever thought of before. This course will be very beneficial as I continue as a SolePath Mentor which can be piggy backed onto the training I already do. Has given me a great insite into why people act the way they do as I am now able to identify grief. Would highly recommend this course to any mental health or social worker.

This program was outstanding and was just what I needed at this time. It was such an impactful experience for me, I am seriously thinking of getting the training to become a certified trainer.

Need a t shirt or sign on the wall, TRUST THE PROCESS! I wanted to leave and resisted the Apologize, I forgive part, I also really reacted negatively to one of the participants who sucked all the oxygen out of the room with her statements. Because we cant do anything but tell them how that makes us feel, they were allowed to control the room. I didnt want to be around it. I didnt want to make a scene with my feelings as she did so I contemplating just leaving. Spoke to Ed and he calmed me down and was helpful. Some people are snowflakes and are offended by everything. Got tired of heariing about her Safe Space. I dont want a safe space, I want to challenge this horrible hurt head on. Felt like she controlled the room at times. I persevered and actually apologized and shared much with my partner, I was able to say goodbye and accomplish much I felt couldnt do and wouldnt do. Really, Really appeal to you to give us visual Tools. The filling in of the blanks on Eds teaching materials was powerful. I was more distracted that I couldnt solidify learning by writing things down than by my grief. At times I felt there were too many rules, dont do this dont do that. I am wondering what part NLP or Sugestions , can play a part. "I am wondering if you could imagine completing this grief, not telling you to do it, just wondering"

After the 2-day workshop, I am more clear about the nature of the losses I've experienced and feel more connected to humanity. I realize that we are all grievers. And that there are some tools to manage and lessen our grief.

I'm already noticing there isn't as much zing to coming home to where Mark is no longer. I also appear to be calmer about my unknown future.

When I first I got to know about the Grief Recovery Method, I ordered the handbook and fully read it. Still, I was anxious to apply this fearing about any mistakes. I needed someone to guide me through this. It was also difficult for me to work alone on this. My pain was overwhelming. I also needed a partner. This program gave me all of this. I got a partner and friend who is an expert at GRM. He guided me on how to use the tools to effectively deal with my loses. After I read my Grief Completion Letter, I felt a big weight just got removed. I felt lighter. I have expressed every emotional truth I had staffed inside for so long. This program helped me to be more self-aware. Ed, helped me a lot with identifying my recovery categories. I have a tendency of being perfect. Ed always gave me A+ on every home assignment before I do the assignments so that my perfectionism doesn't get in the way. He also provided ' Digital hug' which is one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. From him, I have learned how to actively and empathetically listen. He is a very compassionate and loving person.

Actually I haven't completed the last segment yet, I had to attend a funeral and skip the last afternoon, but I look forward to working on that segment with Ed this afternoon.

The program more supported the work I have done previously. It just gave different names or terms to aspects of grief.

The certification helped me to learn many things but most importantly, how to meet grievers where they're at.

As an EFT and Tapping Coach I am accustomed to seeing powerful and quick results in myself and clients that I work with. However the grief I experienced after the death of my daughter stopped me in my tracks. To my surprise this method not only relieved my deep physical, emotional and spiritual pain rather quickly - it also freed up within me a deeper love and appreciation for myself, my family and the world. I am on fire to share this with my clients and the world. This method was definitely inspired as a gift to mankind. You can choose what you want out of this all or parts : )

I was anxious during lunch on Sunday because I was anticipating what was going to happen during the last session. It was as hard as I thought it was going to be, but the freedom that we had from the rules laid out allowed me to get through it. My small group partners only being able to watch, and me not being able to apologize for getting chocked up and it being very clear that I just need to push through and say what I needed to say was an amazing breakthrough. I have tools now that I desperately needed.

The training was extremely informative and effective. Ed was a wonderful trainer and really took the time to ensure all group members were comfortable with the material. He went above and beyond to ensure a safe and compassionate environment that was conducive to learning. I left feeling confident about implementing both groups and one on one sessions and our group has already reconnected to continue to support each other as we move forward. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
