Testimonials For Anna Klegon
It was difficult to keep going over events and going deeper into them but Anna prepared me. Anna was wonderfully firm, and clear and caring and did not let me think or explain my way out without dealing with my feelings and the feelings of my son in the stories I told. I learned and saw and believed that I do not have to be the only responsible one taking responsibility in a relationship. That's huge for me.

By writing and graphing the issues I have been able to let go of the emotional burdens that I have been caring. These burdens were taking an emotional and physical toll on me and I did not know how to begin the process. I am regaining my self esteem, self worth etc. I know this will be a continuation, but now I have the tools to work towards a better outcome. Thank you so much

This was a wonderful program and I'm so glad that I went through it. Initially I went in thinking that it would help me with the loss of health my son is experiencing but in the end it helped me to narrow down some "baggage" that I had been holding onto with my mom. Those first couple meetings were so hard emotionally as I was in so much emotional pain and distress that came with my son's diagnosis. It was essential for me to get that all out in the beginning and I truly appreciated the love/care/supportive space Anna provided for me! I loved the commitment we made each time to be without judgement/ego and confidential.I really took it to heart and kept our conversations confidential while in the program and it helped that my husband was so supportive during the 7-week process. I enjoyed having the companion book as well as the homework assignments.The book was a nice foundation to the program and it gave me a strong sense of control and partnership in the program instead of being "led" through the program. The homework assignments were helpful because it made me carve out dedicated time on my calendar to doing the readings and responding to the homework prompts. I found the definitions of PTSD and grief stimulating and insightful. I appreciated the founders of the program sharing parts of their journey as it made it a very personal and intimate experience. This program helped me understand and uncover some issues in the past and I've chosen to be free from the "baggage" and to see the situation from a different set of eyes in order to fully step into my future self. I will use the knowledge and tools I learned in the program in the future. I appreciated the extension reading at the end about additional types of grief/loss. As it makes me more aware of such transitions in life. I would strongly recommend this program to a friend if they inquired about it.

I can not put into words how much this program helped me with my grief. The practical approach of looking at grief logically really worked for me. Thank you.

The program has made me much more aware of the depth of the experience of loss, and how it is carried forward in life. I very much appreciated the concept of 'better, different, more'. I also appreciated hearing about ways in which we are encouraged to minimize and 'get over' our grief. Generally speaking, I felt this was a very accessible, not overly clinical, way of approaching a broad spectrum of losses. I agree that doing this work with another person is far more powerful than trying to work on issues alone.
