Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
The Grief Recovery Method is a life altering, life enriching program. I have never forgotten my first GRM 12 week group I attended 8 years ago. I always knew I would become certified, and I'm excited to begin my GRM facilitating journey.

Bobbie did an exceptional job of training us as Grief Recovery Specialists! Her 30 years of experienced counseling was a huge advantage in equipping us to be successful Grief Recovery Specialists!

A 4-day training on the topic of grief sounds grueling and difficult, but the way it is delivered makes you feel very supported as you learn and apply the method. While it fosters vulnerability, it also goes by quickly and even though a lot of information is shared, the way in which it is shared does not feel overwhelming in the least. I left feeling thoroughly equipped to do the work for myself and the clients I will serve. Well worth it!

Tammy and Laura made the online platform very inclusive. I have completed online trainings before and felt lost and isolated. Their approach kept us engaged with the material and cohesive as a unit. Well done!

The Grief Recovery Method offers counselors a tool to help walk people through their grief. Grieving people will often need more that being able to discuss their feelings and experience and request to physically do something. I believe that this will be a powerful tool during my chaplaincy care of veterans and their families.

I took all the classes in GRM, and then I was encouraged to take the training by my co-worker Rex Cearley. I am so glad I did; that changed my perspective of seeing people dealing with loss and pain and gave me the tool to guide them to get out of suffering and find that the way we handled loss in the past has left a print in our present and future and is the way we manage our loss. I don't watch movies the same way. I have more compassion for the character dealing with loss and know about grief recovery; God creates us with one heart and two ears.

It was great experience not only with my classmates, but with Catherine Best. The encouragement from Catherine and my classmates was something I have not experienced before. I learned that I am not the only one who has gone through a loss, but now I have the tools to be able to continue to help myself and others.

The Grief Recovery Specialist Certification Training was the best training I have ever received. Not only is the method fantastic, but my instructor (Sandi Derby) was incredible. I would absolutely recommend this training and cannot wait to implement this method in my work.

I already have experience with GRM prior to the training multiple times. Learning deeper and having many questions answered during the training greatly helped to appreciate the Method even more. Thank you, Catherine!

The training the information and the instructor were all awesome. I couldn't have gained that sort of knowledge and confidence anywhere else. This was worth every dollar and every minute. If you are going to do this work this is the place to learn effectively.

I was amazed at how well organized the zoom sessions were, I was holding off hoping it would eventually convert back to in person. I enjoyed the sessions and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in doing the training.

This training really helped me to learn how to help myself and others walk through a recovery process. I loved that no loss/trauma was too big or too small. I learned to give equal value and respect to each person's life experience by simply listening with an open heart. I found the process personally healing and that is what really convinced me that this will actually work for the clients I serve as well! Our instructor, Sandi, was fabulous! She was welcoming, kind and non-judgmental. She was very interesting and professional with her presentation style.

I had gone through Divorce care and other training during my career dealing with workplace issues. I have never looked at grief recovery and to have a method to help myself and others deal with grief and not just suppress it was goes against everything I learned in the past. Mike do an awesome job covering the myths and also was very patient in helping me break old habits to be able to pinpoint the sources of my grief and deal with it piece by piece through the loss and relationship graphs. The method of determine how others hurt me and I hurt them really helped me clearly address my grief. I look forward in being able to share this with others.

The Certification Training was not only informational but personal. Going through the process for myself was an eyeopener as well as liberating. I felt lighter by the end of the program, and the Specialist/Instructor made me feel that she really cared. Thank you.

I experienced the liberation that comes from releasing and letting someone and even myself go through the act of forgiveness, apologizing and offering positive statements to others and myself.

This experience is life changing. It allows for introspection, cleansing, and completeness. I recommend it to everyone. The Method deals with so much more than grief…

I am a recent widow who decided to help others on their way through the fog of grief. The Grief Recovery Method will be a wonderful way for me to help others find their way. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful and she made it easy to want to continue on to help others.
