The Bridge to Recovery

We are a transformational residential program that specializes in healing individuals from the core.

Our approach is two-fold and helps clients simultaneously work on their issues from the outside in and the inside out. From the outside, clients will address their current addictions and other compulsive behavior patterns. These are addressed through abstinence, participation in 12-Step communities and doing step work. At the same time, clients will work from the inside out to effectively address their historical issues and the pain and shame associated with them. This work is done through a variety of evidence based experiential therapeutic modalities including group therapy, equine assisted therapy, psychodrama, personal narrative work and inner child affective therapy.

Through addressing the core wounds at the root of emotional pain and trauma we begin to process these unresolved historical events that have led to the codependent expressions we are clinging to for safety, security, and a semblance of control. Once this process is underway we begin to find hope and come home to ourselves, connecting to our authenticity, and using our voice to advocate for our own wellbeing.

We often fight against vulnerability, but contrary to our thought process this is where the strength to heal resides. When I am willing to get vulnerable and look at those core wounds that have left me clawing for survival then, and only then, can I begin to address the trauma and process that to move through to freedom. In befriending vulnerability and learning to feel rather than stuff emotions I can get beyond surviving and get into thriving.

Codependency resulting from unresolved historical trauma will reenact itself in life until the emotional wound has been healed.

In the process of recovery we learn many facets of information about ourselves. We also go through an immense amount of unlearning. We begin to discard what doesn't serve our best interest and discover what does. Through the entirety of this we discover our authenticity, our identity, and begin to live in our truth.

Life is a series of connections and among the ones we choose to foster and nurture the difference is made. Trauma forces us into connecting surviving with maladaptive coping strategies and leaves us in a space of reacting. If we form new connections between our emotions and our actions then we can begin to discover life beyond the pain. We can then see a new way of living through practical tools and techniques to find peace.

We all internalize messages from those around us as we grow up. These positive or negative messages shape our internal dialogue and fundamentally influence our self-view. A common challenge arises from receiving what's often called conditional positive regard; love or acceptance that is dependent on someone else's approval of our behavior. This can plant a core "recording" in our minds that repeats a narrative of "I'm not enough" or "I am wrong."

This recording plays constantly, and over time, we begin to mistake it for our own authentic voice. However, it is not our voice; it's a collection of internalized, often harmful, external messages.
By reframing the narrative of our lives, we can begin to separate our authentic self from these absorbed messages. This shift allows us to move away from the paralyzing, shaming thought of, "What's wrong with me?" and instead ask the more compassionate and empowering question, "What happened to me?" This change in perspective is key to moving into a space of healing, truth, and hope.

Life after trauma is often led by maladaptive coping strategies. Out of grit and determination we seek a way to find safety, security, and function. These work well for a time and help us to get through the everyday struggles, but after a while they begin to create problems of their own. Through processing trauma we begin to identify the core causes of emotional pain and the resulting coping strategies that now complicate our lives. We then learn a healthier way to live based on intention rather than reaction. We gradually let go of our hypervigilance and choose steps based on our own well-being not on the steps of others.

We believe in the profound meaning of "possible." It's not just a word; it's a truth that resonates deep within each of us. The incredible power to change, to heal, and to create a life filled with genuine peace doesn't lie outside us, it resides within.

We understand that historical trauma and past pain can feel like an impossible burden, holding us captive. But we also know, with unwavering conviction, that processing these deep wounds is the pathway through the pain. It's how we unlock the potential to move forward, to let go of what holds us back, and step into the serene future you deserve.

Your journey to peace is possible.
