Testimonials For Julie Blitzer
I immediately felt comfortable with Julie. Her approach was empathetic, kind and it was uncanny how she remembered all that i conveyed to her. She must have a photographic memory. I feel like a weight has been lifted and that I can walk ahead alone.

Julie is outstanding. She is so genuine & empathetic. She really heard me and validated my feelings. She offered guidance and new perspectives I’d never thought about before. It was so easy to talk to her. I will miss seeing her every week !

I did not know what to expect. I was apprehensive, nervous, and scared. I waited 8-9 months before reaching out to Julie Blitzer. She was professional and wanted to get started that week, and I almost shelved the entire idea, but so glad I didn’t. In starting with Julie, I was fragile, vulnerable, and still in a place of loss and horrific grief. Immediately, Julie made me feel safe and at ease. She continued making me feel this during every session that we spent with one another, as well as each phone call and email. She still does. Julie allowed me to gain strength and self-confidence slowly. Julie shared a story of her loss and grief, which underscored that she knew she knew exactly how I was feeling and what I was going through. Of course, she knew all the tricks we play with ourselves as we say we are doing ok, not trying to cry, holding it all together, holding in our feelings, and trying to be strong. But with her help, I learned to open up and dig deep with my emotions rather than ignoring them. I knew this was going to be a process, and it wasn’t going to be easy. I made a commitment to do this work and to make sure I received the most out of my sessions. It has been about 8 weeks since I completed the program, and I must say, I think about the readings and tools that Julie shared with me every day. There are still days that are not easy, but when those harder days fall upon me, I am able to work through them and know I am going to be ok. Julie made me feel connected to something greater than me. I didn’t feel so lonely and scared, but more empowered to overcome this difficult time in my life. This is not to say when I have another loss, which there will be more, I will be able to reflect back through my Grief Recovery Methods and use their offerings. Being mindful of how vital strong communications are, it has placed me in a mindset to say what I have to say to those whom I love and admire. I want those to know how much they mean to me and how grateful I am for knowing them. It’s a gift to live one’s life of purpose in peace. I’m still working at it, but know I will get there someday.

The GRM program gave me the tools and method to dissect systematically the complex emotions I've been experiencing. Each assignment allowed me to zero in on one aspect of the loss. By placing my attention on specific details it allowed "information" to percolate to the surface and manifest to my awareness. Some losses and feelings that were "driving" my grief reaction were surprising to me when I finally acknowledged them. Having this awareness and understanding has provided a whole new perspective and also a compassion for myself that I didn't previously possess. Thank you!

The program has helped me deal with my grief. It has helped me concentrate on me and not everyone else. Julie was amazing. I have already recommended her to several friends. Thank you so much

Although I admit I was skeptical at first, I quickly realized that Julie was sincere, professional and caring. She made me feel comfortable with the process of examining events in my life and sharing them with her. I definitely feel more at peace with my past, and know that if I need to process another aspect of loss in my life, I have the resources to do so. I am so happy that I “gave” myself this gift. It’s amazing to me how strong an attachment can be formed with a screen between you. I wouldn’t have thought that was possible, but after a while it really seemed almost as if we were sitting in the same room talking.

I went into the program broken, lost and confused after my Mom had passed. I found Julie 8 months after the death of my Mom which was perfect timing. I felt ready to speak about my emotions and deal with my PTSD. Working with GRM definitely helped put a lot into perspective and helped ease the pain, a little bit. The program definitely helped me. I tried therapy and learned quickly that it wasn't for me. I needed someone who was specific to the subject and GRM gave me that. It was an hour of my week that allowed me to work on my grieving process. I will say I do feel better after the 7 weeks, but I also know I still have more to work on with the loss of both my parents. Overall, great program. Will definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is suffering from grief/loss/death. Thank you!
