My name is Connie Irick.  I am a full-time elementary music teacher and I have been teaching the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) part-time since 2018.  I first learned about the Grief Recovery Method after losing a friend to suicide, which caused a lot of heartache and devastation that I didn't know how to cope with.  I ended up spiraling into depression and isolation and it took me a couple of months before I realized that I needed help.  In my search for a grief counselor, a friend introduced me to a Grief Recovery Specialist who lived in another state.  I began working online with her immediately and was surprised to learn how little I knew about grief.  I learned that grief happens when familiar things change or end, not just when someone dies.  I also learned that I had a lot of unresolved grief from my younger years and I was finally able to resolve and heal the pains of the past that I had been holding on to for decades. 

Since that time, I have completed the method on more than 14 different relationships in my life.  Some of those relationships were with people who have died, but most of the work I have completed has been on relationships with people who are still living.  That is one of the many things I love about this method: it works on ANY relationship or loss! This method has changed my life in so many ways and has healed my heart in ways that I never thought were possible.  Now I get the honor of sharing the tools I have learned with others and witnessing the healing of their hearts as we work through the Grief Recovery Method together.  

If you are interested in working with me, I currently offer groups and one-on-one sessions that meet in person in the Pocatello, ID area.  You can find my group session in the Idaho State University Continuing Education and Workforce Training catalog. You can also find open sessions at https://cetrain.isu.edu/enrollment/course/grief-recovery-method/

If you live outside of the Pocatello area, I also offer one-on-one sessions online.  If you are ready to complete the pain associated with any loss in your life, I am ready to be a witness to your heart!
