Hearing Dr. Conway speak (or, for you, watching his Ted Talk) was enough to convince me his evidence-based method could help my son overcome his speach issues and dyslexia. I'm so grateful. I wish every parent, teacher, administrator, grand parent and child advocate knew about this program. My rating isn't just 5 stars -- it's 5 hearts for the gratitude we feel.

It is worth every penny!

My diagnosis is T trauma, ADHD, chronic depression, anxiety, complex PTSD as a child and adult . I was recently diagnosed with DDNOS as well. After reading The Trauma Heart by Judy Crane knew their methods and approach to Trauma that this is where the real work would happen. I've lived with childhood and adult trauma my entire life. The residents refer to it as "trauma camp" and that's exactly what it is. The staff is dedicated and highly experienced. The house managers compassionate and caring. The other residents made me feel understood for the first time in my life. Being with others who are also being vulnerable caring and the feedback in trauma process groups helped facilitate my healing process . The grounds were beautiful, peaceful and well maintained. The cabin I stayed in felt homey. It was one of the older cabins but I liked it tucked on the edge of the property with an old growth forest behind it where residents had created trauma art and left their trauma there. It was a reminder of those of had come before me. A tiny bit rustic but I liked it. There are newer updated cabins too. But I loved my rustic cabin next to the grand oak trees with Spanish moss and all the wildlife that traveled through. Families of deers, turkeys wandering around, foxes, resident raccoons and beautiful cranes that wandered the property daily. The days as a PHP resident were filled with 1/2 day focused on coping skills, the other half trauma process groups. This is where the healing begins. Writing the assigned letters by my therpaist to address my traumas, reading them out loud in process groups and listening to others letters. This helped provide feedback, understanding and healing. I had the time between morning and evenings to work on my projects and assignments as well as evenings. The CBT and DBT skills lectures were taught by knowledgeable therapists who knew what they were talking about. The love and support was beyond anything I've ever experienced, it was authentic and healing. I had some rough days, who doesn't? It's hard work reliving and writing the details of what happened. Also sharing my stories for the first time in the right environment a trusting environment. It could be triggering and lead to some highly emotional days or moments. But the love and support is there. The house managers, doctors and therapists are highly qualified and dedicated to what they do. They know what they're doing. Even the administration office stays close to the residents and make you feel part of the community. The food was delicious and each meal made with care a nutrition. Something for everyone whether you had allergies, had religious limitations, or preferences. The lodge where we ate our meals a sense of community. Very little fried food, not highly seasoned or drowning in sauces. Fresh delicious fish daily, a salad bar, pizza night one day a week, and homemade cake for birthdays. The community was diverse all ages, backgrounds and socioeconomic as well. Also diverse on what they were working on. The population was Young adults, firemen, teachers, police officers, mental health professionals themselves, business professionals, new mothers, nurses, fathers, politicians, tech people, retired folks, college students. All walks of life and generations. People I could easily identify with as we shared our traumas, addictions, our stories. You are not alone. The residents I shared my time with inspired me. Made me feel loved, became friends who I shared things with I've never openly talked about. We are all there for the same The reason ......to heal. I enjoyed my big Schwin tricycle with a big basket to get from one place to the other and also exercise it provided. There was a nice gym if that's you're thing. There was massage available (which you have to pay for) but was worth it. Breathing techniques are offered, yoga nidra, meditation....things I really connect with spiritually for healing. Horses too. Support groups are also part of the evening programs. AA, NA, CODA, Refuge Recovery Meditation and sex addictions. They own a lake house and got to kayak, paddle board for the first time which I had always wanted to do. One day I was able to go down the river behind the property on a canoe. If you enjoy painting, art, beading they have that too. If I ever need a refresh this is where I am going again. Highly rec.

I came to The Refuge specifically for trauma treatment. I was referred and admitted for CPTSD, body…read moredysmorphic disorder, agoraphobia, and multiple panic and anxiety disorders. Body dysmorphic disorder is an important part of this story because it has nothing to do with food or eating, and you would think staff at a trauma-informed facility would know that. The most consistently positive part of my stay was the other clients in the trauma community. They were kind, supportive, and genuinely looked out for one another. The food was good, and the cabins were fine overall, though there was some mold. Group therapy ran all day, which is typical for a trauma program, but a lot of the groups were very poorly facilitated. Many times, groups did not even have someone assigned to run them. Yes, this took place over the Thanksgiving holiday, but as a treatment center, you know you still have clients who need care. Staffing and group coverage should have been addressed and organized well in advance of the holiday. Where things went seriously wrong was with placement and leadership. After arriving and doing well in the trauma community, I was suddenly told I was being placed in Oak House, the eating disorder unit, even though I do not have an eating disorder. No one gave me a reason. I was abruptly removed from the trauma program and placed in a highly restrictive unit with daily weigh-ins, locked bathrooms, monitored showers, plated meals, and constant escorts -- none of which matched my diagnoses. I reported to my therapist that I was concerned about my safety while in Oak House. She told me she escalated my concerns to leadership, but no corrective action was taken. In a subsequent meeting with the clinical director, Shelly, I again asked why I had been placed in the eating disorder unit. Instead of answering, she deflected my questions. When I tried to explain why I did not belong there -- that I do not have an eating disorder and that body dysmorphic disorder has nothing to do with food -- she told me my questions were a "trauma response." As a psychology major with a 4.0 GPA, I know what a trauma response is. I told her directly that this was not one. This was one adult asking another adult for an explanation about a clear misplacement, and she was not able or willing to give me an answer. I was ultimately given an ultimatum: return to Oak House or leave the facility that night, even though I was over a thousand miles from home. I was also told I could not use a phone to call my husband unless I agreed to return to Oak House first. I went back only long enough to use the landline to arrange a ride home. Thankfully, I had a friend nearby who dropped everything to come get me. I am thankful for the other clients. But the placement decisions, lack of transparency, poor planning, and leadership response were confusing, dismissive, and not trauma-informed. People seeking trauma treatment deserve clear communication, respect, and care that actually aligns with their diagnoses
