Grief Course Introduction & Overview

Michael Sayre is a personal growth educator and spiritual teacher. He was formally trained through Boston University and interned at the Washingtonian Center for Addiction, followed by two years at the Appleton Treatment Center for Alcoholism at McClean Hospital. He worked with individuals with addictions and psychological trauma in clinical settings and specialized in counseling and therapy. While in training with those with addictions and trauma, he developed a special focus in working with crisis, grief and motivation. Michael was founder and director of the Self-help Counseling Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. He subsequently moved to Akron, Ohio, the home of AA (Alcohol Anonymous) and created and founded The Centre for Transformation, a non-profit corporation in Fairlawn, Ohio. Michael has always been dedicated to addressing what he calls the “hole in the education”, the missing half of education devoted to knowing who we are, how to live, and how to process life. Michael devotes his life to assisting others, formally and informally, to becoming students of their lives. He assists them as students learning through personal growth education to make the choices they need to make in order to improve their relationships and their lives. Michael is gifted in being able to read spiritual and human dynamics and making the forces that underlie the conduct that is causing people to suffer known to the student. Michael’s objective has always been to make it safe for people to get acquainted with themselves, with the belief and experience that they will adjust themselves to the truths they discover about themselves and their lives.
