Am amazing experience! I fought to get back here, against my families wishes. They were pushing for a treatment center with a bigger more known name. There was no doubt in my mind that I needed to return to the Center. The members of my family that were against my returning here are now your biggest fans and have admiited they were wrong. I hope you all see more folks from Dallas here in the future! My treatment team was awesome! Matt, Lindsey, Dr. Snyder, and Lisa all added a unique perspective and specialty to my experience. From spirtitual guidance to setting boundaries, recogonizing and dealing with truama, accepting powerlessness over certain people and relationships, and recognizing controlling people in my life and issues with people pleasing, self forgiveness and shame. They all helped me walk through the pain and the shame and find my true smile again, not one to please others and make others happy, but a geniune smile for myself. Lindsey was incredibly helpful in helping and guiding me with setting boundaries and recognizing manipulative and emotionally abusive patterns within my family. She did EMDR therapy with me and it was so effective and she lead me through it very gently and it was amazing. I really feel that i will carry my work with her forward in my life after the center. Matt was just awesome to work with. His spiritual guidance and knowledge of addiction was hugely impactful on my journey to living in recovery. He went above and beyond to work with me, gently challenge me, and guide me to realize patterns within myself that developed when i was very young that have festered and how to break these patterns. I felt very safe with both Matt and Lindsay to be vulnerable, honest, share my story. Matt is the reason that I finally understood what a relationship dependency/love addiction is and that it is not something to be ashamed of. He has been very impactful with my aftercare and shared so much of himself that was incredibly helpful for me. i am very grateful for his genuineness and guidance.
