Who Is Group Support For?
Is it Ever Too Soon to Join a Grief Support Workshop?
- No! It is never too soon to address your grief. If you broke your leg would you wait to call the doctor? Then why wait to get help when you break your heart?
- You’ve probably heard that time heals all wounds. That piece of misinformation creates the idea that you just have to wait to feel better. We have known people who have waited ten, twenty, thirty, and forty years, and still didn’t feel better. And they would tell you that not only had time not healed them, but also it compounded the pain. It’s not time that heals, but what you do within that time.
How To Get Started…
At this point you might be wondering what the next step is. It’s important to take action but also to be able to proceed at a pace that you feel comfortable with. So we have a couple of options for you to consider:
- Schedule a Free 15 min consultation with Maggie to answer any questions you have about the Group Support Workshop and what might be the best course of action for you.
- You can put down a deposit for the next Group Workshop Series to secure your spot and commit to your recovery.
- You can get registered for our next Group Support Workshop Series by paying in full, and you will save some money in the process.
FAQ’s
How does the Support Group work?
In a group program, you’ll work with me as well as others. You’ll hear my story as well as the stories of others and get support from the group through the later weeks of the program.
What losses are okay to work on?
All losses are welcome! Death, divorce, and diagnosis are the most common, but there are over 43 losses that can cause grief.
What can I expect from our time together?
During each two hour session, you’ll be welcomed into a confidential, non-judgmental space where you’ll be expected to share the truth of your story as it happened to you. You’ll also be expected to complete weekly reading and homework assignments.
From me, you can expect open ears and an open heart ready to receive your story. I’m also available to answer logistical questions about the program.
What should I bring?
A notebook and something to write with. Books and worksheets will be provided for you.
Do I have to attend every session?
Group cohesion and consistency is so important for not only you but for the other members of your group. If you miss more than two group sessions, you’ll be asked to leave the program with the opportunity to finish with another group at another time. You can also continue working with me individually in a 1:1 format while covering any additional fees necessary.
How is The Grief Recovery Method® different from therapy?
The Grief Recovery Method® is a series of steps specifically designed to help you recover from major loss within a set time frame. Unlike traditional therapy, The Grief Recovery Method® comes with a preestablished framework, a distinct focus on grief, and a limited number of meetings.
