(skip to the last two concluding paragraphs if you're just here for the facts)…read more Be warned, I may sound a little biased but it's because this counselor has been the "Anne Sullivan" to my "Helen Keller". A "Miracle Worker", you ask quizzically. Did he just use the word quizzically, you may also ask. Let me try again... I have PTSD. It came from an incident at work and, despite that, I still work there. Events that trigger my symptoms are not uncommon. The medications that were supposed to help me back then compounded the damage that occurred during my traumatic event. During my recovery, I thought I was able to build up my mental fortitude by doing 'immersion' style exposures at home and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with another counselor but there were still muck in my mental waters. The garden of my mind had its soil overturned but the old weeds cluttered the forgotten corners had pollinated formerly healthy area. Using my works Employee Assistance Program again, I asked for help. They gave me Pamela Griggs (Counselor, LPC). And, after my first appointment, Pamela offered me a pamphlet on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I read the info she offered me, did my own research, and decided to go for it. In overly simplified terms, EMDR therapy is like mentally-focused, consciously aware 'talk' therapy. Walls, like ego, skepticism, and self-loathing that patients tend to use on their counselors can prevent perceptible improvement for months or years. EMDR is like straight up no nonsense gardening of your mind: finding the mental weeds, digging at them, throwing them out, and doing maintenance. Thanks to Pamela, I was not overwhelmed by what I have been through. If not for her, I may have ended up divorced or incarcerated due to the inevitable downward spiral that I was on. She introduced me to EMDR and utilized it to address various issues that were presented and that resurfaced due to my PTSD. I know that she put ME first when it came to the insurance red tape. Though some weeks I desired a short-notice appointment and she was not available, I knew that she be there for me 100% whenever we did a session. Pamela's current location is not the best but that means nothing compared to what she's done to help me and the rest of her patients. If you are tired of talk therapy or have given up on counseling or therapy, make an appointment to do EMDR with Pamela. If she's not local to you, find an EMDR practitioner near you and get help. You're worth it.

I was in treatment at "P" House for four months for issues with relationship, intimacy and sexual…read moreproblems. It is in fact a very community-based facility. That means living in a community with other men from all different walks of life, geographic areas, age differences, gender and/or sexual preferences. In reminds me somewhat of a military organization, in that people from all walks of life, economic positions, careers, etc. live together. This is in fact part of the treatment in learning how to become tolerant, share community responsibilities, self-govern (to a limited extent), and become a contributing member of a community. For some it is difficult, in that they have never had the experience or requirements to do so. It's about growth on an individual basis, in relational and interpersonal skills, in self-confidence, reliance on others, and examining the basis of your specific issue. Whether it's a substance or process addiction, there are many similar foundational actions, behaviors, traumas that contribute to our (clients) issues and helps build a bond between us (clients). One of the strengths of the organization is that nearly everyone of the staff, both support and therapists have been clients at Prescott House and are in recovery themselves. This gives them incredible "street creds", as they have been on the clients end and understand the issues the clients are dealing with. They also know how to get a client to look at themselves, take responsibility, learn how to change behaviors, thoughts, actions, and alternatives to the substance/process of choice. They are active in also working with the family of the clients, (those left to sit in the mess we left), and provide a space for family members to share the impact on them and integration back into the family, with boundaries, relapse prevention programs, relationship building plans. They also use whole person approach with using various outside practitioners, from spiritual advisors, fitness/health growth, life coaching/yoga, outside activities, meditation and mindfulness classes. These are things that helped me while a client and after when back home repairing relationships that have caused trauma of various levels, benefits of continuing individual treatment plans and Twelve Step programs. This also includes building support networks both with other clients here at P House and back in our own community. I have built some very close relationships here that will be in my life for a very long time. If you are really ready to do something about your addiction, the impact on your life and the life of countless others and do some hard work and return to have a meaningful life, and enjoy each day as a gift, then I recommend that you give serious consideration to seeking treatment at Prescott House. Can your life change? Yes. Will it be overnight? No, but each day you can continue to grow a little, enjoy life and be grateful. Bob G
