Grief Recovery Method Nov. 12

Depression, anxiety, ADD, trauma, addictions, grief, behavioral issues, relational issues, diabesity – these are some of the common issues that Brain Health and the Grief Recovery Method can address.
Your brain is always listening, change your brain, change your life, change your brain, change your pain are new mottos that Dr. Daniel Amen proposes as a way to change society’s thinking about mental illness.
His goal is to eliminate the stigma attached to mental illness and change our language to brain health.  Amen is a double board certified psychiatrist, children and adult.  He has 10 clinics across the United States.  The Amen Clinics Method is a multi-modal approach to treatment that uncovers the root cause of your issues or challenges.  It believes it is critical to look at one’s brain within the context of your life, which includes biological, psychological, social and spiritual influences. It offers emotional, behavioral and nutritional strategies plus supplements and traditional psychiatry strategies when needed.
Hear about how to “tame your dragons” and combat automatic negative thoughts and how the Grief Recovery Method can facilitate healing from over 43 different kinds of losses.  The Grief Recovery Method is the only grief-sharing process that is evidence-based as documented by research at Kent State University.
The Grief Recovery Method includes changing your paradigm of grief by reading, writing and speaking your story. Brain health coping strategies will help alleviate the symptoms of grief and other losses while the Grief Recovery Method facilitates a therapeutic environment and therapeutic action steps. Both these programs can be utilized to help individuals and society address adverse childhood experiences.
Richard Rohr, a Franciscan monk, in his book, “Breathing Under Water; Spirituality and the Twelve Steps” states that not everyone is addicted to substances, but that all of us “overcompensate for our more hidden and subtle addictions and attachments, especially our addiction to our way of thinking.”
