Traditional grieving therapies are primarily used as support systems to help people cope with the painful experience of loss. The Healthy Grieving Programs are healing systems that deal directly and effectively with the underlying cause of grief. Unlike conventional grieving approaches that focus on the loss of the relationship, The Healthy Grieving Programs deal with the loss of one’s self-identity. This radical shift in perspective allows individuals to make rapid and transformational changes that move them quickly through the grieving cycle into the experience of love and acceptance.
The Healthy Grieving Programs has been used to great effect with not only the loss of a loved one, but many other losses as well. It is effective for virtually any experience of loss such as ending of relationships, loss of a pet, empty nest, loss of home, career, health, lifestyle, beliefs, loss through miscarriage, divorce, relocation, etc.
It works equally well with losses from the past as it does with present losses. In fact, one of the first Healthy Grieving clients used the process to grieve the loss of her mother who had died 22 years before. She found the process significantly liberating. An experienced social worker called the Healthy Grieving Process “a higher consciousness approach to grief that opens the door to a lot of healing”and a bereavement counselor felt that it had “the ability to transform people’s lives.”
Please be aware that the Healthy Grieving Programs are not conventional therapy. They are healing modalities like EFT or EMDR, and like them, it uses tools and techniques that you might not see in traditional psychotherapy. For example, the Healthy Grieving Process uses deep inquiry with “why” questions, as well as kinesiology to test client responses.The Healthy Grieving Programs are not a fit for every counselor – or a modality you would use with every client – but it is an amazing process that produces very rapid results.
For those who want to know more than the introductory level or wish to develop a level of mastery with the process, a more comprehensive training is offered. We are exploring Continuing Education Certification as well as Professional Development Credits but at this time, no credits are available.
