Testimonials For Thera Storm
The program put me on a path to recover from this huge loss in my life. The exercises and the book were very helpful. I was really down and out and now I am able to enjoy life again. The facilitator had so much empathy for my situation. She was such a good listener and always gave me feedback on how to improve my situation. The relationship graph was very helpful. She taught me to hold on to those positive memories but also how to not let my regrets control my life.

When a first started the program I was devastated and feeling a lot of guilt and shame following my mother’s sudden death. As I worked through the program with Thera, I uncovered many things I didn’t realize I was still hurting over. By the end of the seven weeks I was able to have closure and acceptance. This program has actually given me a different outlook on the way I handle my every day situations and actions.

I feel it is a wonderful tool that I can use to help my bereaved clients. The use of this program can help many complete the grief process & move forward in their lives. This work is a real and tangible way to address the cumulative losses of everyday life & those of more profound impact. I hope to bring this to the military families I serve.

I was able to see and gained awareness that how I was conditioned to grieve a loss was leaving me incomplete, emotionally and unable to accept responsibility, that in part I am the cause of the incompleteness. Thera Storm was able to gain my trust and interest, and was highly successful in moving me forward beyond my loss, and she helped me through out the process of saying good by to unresolved communications!

The program really helped me to identify the myths of grief that have kept me from fully processing and healing from traumatic events. The homework steps stimulated me to take quality time and think critically about my grief response. Although I still miss the person I lost, I feel I have resolved any feelings of guilt, shame, or that things could have been better, different, or more.

Not only was I able to deal with the grief I had unresolved, it also helped change my outlook towards others' personal issues, hidden or in plain sight. Thera did a phenomenal job, and I with the best for her and her future clients, of which she deserves many more.

The program has really helped me. I can't imagine where I'd be right now if I hadn't stumbled across it. It's hard to describe but I can now just experience the sadness of not having my brother here anymore. I can think about a fun memory and not have it spiral into extreme pain & anger. I am no longer limited to reliving the year of cancer and family drama that preceded my, far-too-young-to-die, brother's death. Completing emotions really does work. Thank you.

This is the first time I'm ready to stop "scrubbing" and "cleaning" my tank, and I'm ready to fill it. The Grief Recovery Method led me to completion. Therapy and EMDR were all helpful tools in my journey, but GRM gave me the freedom to truly move forward. I feel the sense of completion in my life which allows me to life fully in the present rather than continuing to analyze my past.

The program helped me view my husband's death in a new light. At the end, I felt as thought a weight had been lifted. Obviously, it did not resolve all manner of grief at his loss, but has made me view it differently.

The scaffolding, awareness, depth, progression, testimonies and examples in the book, testimonies and examples from the facilitator, and warm empathy and compassion (and encouragement) from the facilitator were the strongest contributors. Ultimately achieving "completion" was huge.

This program opened my eyes to see loss, grief, forgiveness and apologies in a more positive constructive light. I was given tools to recognize losses in my past where there were incomplete communications affecting my life today. And how to complete these. I love this program. It is short, direct, and effective.

I lost both parents within 18 months of each other. The grief of relationships has me trying to figure out why and who I was without them in this earth. Thera had stated she had started her company and the Grief Recovery Method was the process. I said, why not. What I realized about my journey is I have been grieving life for a long time. The death of my parents were a small part of me coming to terms with many things of my life to bring closure. The way I feel now about relationships in my life is so unique and eye opening. I realize grief has ripple effects and they must be taken and addressed one by one. I will use this process for myself for the a very long time.

The program has helped me become more aware of my feelings about situations & to be active in the moment at addressing things....especially positive things. For example if someone does something or says something nice , I address it quickly instead of just holding those thoughts to myself . That you can have love for Someone even if that relationship is not what your expectations, hopes & dreams of that relationship could be. You can forgive them for flaws in the relationship & it gives you a peace & understanding that is hard to even describe. The program helped me to understand myself better & discover how much over the years that I have hidden a lot of pain because I did not know how to process my feelings.

I initially started the program to help learn how to process the tragic death of my sister-in-law, but in doing all of the work I learned a lot about myself and how a past unresolved trauma was taking up more space in my life and heart than I recognized. I was blown away at the revelation and feel freedom from the pain I was carrying around!

I feel more at peace, whole and complete emotionally and physically.

The Grief Recovery Method has helped mold my way of thinking in a way I can understand myself and those around me. It has helped me in how I approach situations within my work place, at home, with friends and family. Most importantly it has helped me understand and see the root of what and where STERBS started for me and has helped me understand why I react the way I do in situations I have recently gone through. The Grief Recovery Method has helped me complete an area in which I lost trust in parental guidance and I truthfully don't know where I would stand emotionally if I hadn't gone through this 8 week process. I have some more work to do but I also have a great mentor to help me through it. Thank you!
