My primary goals was understanding what it was that I was struggling with in regards to a possible eating disorder, or at the very least, the beginning of an eating disorder. I've definitely learned a lot about that part of myself which I am very grateful for. France was especially helpful in guiding me to particular tools that I will continue to utilize for however long they work. My other goals involved how to handle my depression better and I think I definitely have more tools than I did prior to coming here due to DBT, so I think that I'll be better equipped at handling that as well. I didn't really have many goals in regards to my anxiety, but in coming here I discovered that I have far more anxiety than I previously thought, and I have a lot of hope that the medication I am trying will aid my journey to lessen the anxiety that I have. My experience with my treatment team was excellent! Everyone I spoke with and worked with was very pleasant. France and Heather are my go to women, I love them dearly, they've helped me so much. iu've never worked with a male therapist before, but Nick helped me a lot, too. I am afraid that I spoke too much and rarely allowed space for him to guide me but I did find that when he did speak that he was very insightful. I think I learned a lot from his facilitation of DBT as well. Shannon was helpful in with my questions about the medication that I am currently taking, and shes a pleasant women to chat with. Janet was my nutritionist for my time here and she was also lovely! Never have I met anyone so positive and bubbly all the time, and she was a big help in having me try different things with the foods that I eat, and how I eat as well.
