Grief Recovery Method Groups
The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) is an evidence-based programme that has been refined over the past 40 years to help recover from the pain, isolation, and loneliness caused by loss of any kind. It is the only grief support programme in the world that is evidence based.
The method is beneficial to anybody who has experienced the pain of unmet hopes, dreams, and expectations in a relationship. Those who are seeking to let go of the hope that things could have been better or different in the past, who desires to overcome habits of avoidance, numbing, and escapism, who are seeking strategies to identify, express, and process emotions in a healthy way, and anybody seeking to be more emotionally available and present in their relationships.
The Grief Recovery Method® is a structured programme guided by the actions set forth in The Grief Recovery Handbook written by John James and Russell Friedman. The programme involves weekly reading and homework to facilitate the healing process.
This 8-week course will allow you the opportunity to share and connect with other people who have experienced various losses in a safe and non-judgmental environment. This is not a drop-in style group, so weekly attendance of the programme is vital for maximum benefit in the healing and recovery process.
The first half of the programme (discovery) involves deepening your awareness of what grief is, the various losses that have impacted your life, the myths and beliefs about grief that have kept you stuck, and the emotional and behavioural habits that have impacted your healing process. You will gain insight into the subtle and significant ways in which grief has impacted your emotional, psychological, physical, social, and spiritual health.
The second half of the programme (recovery) involves deepening your awareness of what emotional incompleteness means, what relationships and experiences carry the weight of incompleteness in your life, and the unresolved emotions causing you to feel stuck and unable to move forward in a healthy and meaningful way. You will learn how to emotionally complete relationships with people who have died, people who have hurt you, or people from whom you are not divorced, estranged, or any other circumstance.
Naomi is trained as a Grief Recovery Specialist with the Grief Recovery Institute, she will be facilitating the course.
