Where did the name Gray Rock come from?

First, and simply put, sometimes you feel “gray” due to grief, depression, or loss. Here at Gray Rock, we understand that healing is not linear, and together we can work through those feelings. Second, The Grey Rock Method is a therapeutic strategy for handling manipulative, narcissistic, or abusive individuals. It is a form of assertiveness training, one of our specialties, that teaches clients to become detached from the abusive person’s behavior. The goal is to protect a your emotional well-being from the toxic, unhealthy people in your life. We feel strongly about empowering our clients to learn the skills necessary to navigate these types of circumstances, set boundaries, and gain needed assertiveness skills. These combined concepts give our name a deeper meaning while maintaining a sense of simplicity similar to, of course, a gray rock.
