the problem with being very good at grief counselling and with meeting the needs of people in 3 defined 50 minute sessions over a month is that they do end up feeling a lot better on the provision that they never ever see you again...and that's okay because if you do it well, they won't ever need to see you or anyone else again. Not a way to guarantee return business, for sure...nor spread the good word of holistic therapies etc...just simple human truths and simple good human care. Simple truths of life aren't very marketable at all, but they are the most important, the most honest, and the most positively revolutionary. Good grief counselling is much like being a sherpa and finding someone lost and half frozen in the Himalayas. You don't ask them how cold they feel, nor how they feel about being cold. You warm them up and show them how to get to where they need to be...1,2,3...and you walk a little while with them. I charge US$200 a 50 minute session, and in advance, because I know, after 3 sessions, they will be okay, they won't be back, and in future they will walk on the other side of the road to avoid me, and they won't pay their bill...but they will be just fine. That is very good grief counselling.
