This was by far one of the best professional trainings I’ve attended. I left feeling confident and more knowledgeable about grief and loss than ever before. The instructor was very compassionate and knowledgeable, being sure that all participants were heard and understood.

I just completed my 2nd 4-day GRM certification program. It was outstanding. I have been involved with the GRM program for about 3 years, but because of health reasons, I was not able to start working with people. Taking the course a 2nd time has not only given me the tools and knowledge to help people with the GRM, but also the confidence that I will actually be able to help people and make a difference. I am grateful for the GRM trainers and coaches, and I am excited to get out and work the program.

The Grief Recovery Method is the best method to grown mentally, emotionally and spiritually for all kinds of losses. I cannot think of one loss that this Method would not help. It is intense, understandable, and the steps are obtainable. As a newbie, I am truly honored to be a part of this Grief Recovery Specialist community.

Catherine was professional, respectful and thorough. She did a very good job leading us through Grief Recovery Method. It helped me to ,"put to bed" emotions that were tied to my grief and were holding me back from healing. I'm moving forward now and feel lighter!

I went through the GRM process three times with a friend before attending the training. Initially, I anticipated working on a group of related behaviors (specifically, bullies), but I soon realized that the process still required focusing on one individual at a time. During the training, I was also asked if there were any other family members or friends I needed to work with, so I chose to apply the process to my sibling. The results were truly surprising, as I experienced significant breakthroughs, healing, and relief. The effectiveness of the process was beyond what I expected, and I am incredibly grateful to be part of this community, learning valuable skills that will help others on their healing journey as well!

I was amazed how quickly and deep this method works. I did work through the method a few years ago with a friend after reading the hand book. it was a lot harder than when done with a registered specialist. It felt like I was in safe hands and am now excited about being able to guide others through this program so others can feel lighter and free of constraints. I am looking forward to meeting others connected to the method. I have already met wonderful people throughout the training as well. Very Positive.

I found that the way GRM was created to allow for both deep emotional grief that was unprocessed for years while at the same time also having such a clear treatment frame allows for people to access unresolved emotional damage is unique in that I believe it can be used safely in an outpatient setting. I am incredibly excited to add the GRM regularly in my work with others as a psychologist, and am inspired to see other practitioners and educators help people through sharing their own personal journey of healing. In one word: TRANSFORMATIONAL!

The four-day online training was intense and eye-opening! I had many of my misconceptions corrected and given clear directions as to how I could effectively help others to move forward and I thank Catherine Best and my fellow trainees for their example and support.

Think thats what I was kind of typing before.... I would also be interested in doing a 'video' as a UK resident if that helps.
