I recently graduated from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) programs at Lasting Recovery.

I reached out to Lasting Recovery due to extreme work related issues and the impact they were having on my PTSD and I am so happy that I did. What I experienced and needed help for was essentially for trauma. I was hesitant at first, given the programs focus is on addiction, but after discussing my concerns with them, I decided that the offerings and flexibility of the program might work for me and I gave it a shot.

As I progressed in the program, I discovered that if I was open minded, it could really help me. I was in severe distress when I reached out for help. I was in a personal space where I was extremely depressed, frustrated, angry, confused, and most of all, that I didn t have a voice and needed to get it back. Dr. Judy Saalinger (Judy) and her team created a curriculum that would work for me and listened to my feedback.

Today, I am so proud of myself for taking the necessary steps to care for myself. By completing my programs at Lasting Recovery, with the help of Judy her team, I truly I do not recognize the person I was when I entered the program. I have learned so much about myself and practice the skills I gained from the program now in my daily life almost down to how I live every moment. By doing so, I am so happy to say that today I have rediscovered my true happiness, I am more confident, I truly live my life in a forward looking fashion and value every moment. I have gained the skills that have elevated my level of awareness of my own actions and how they may impact others and how to manage them, I learned about emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, and in my daily practice, I can confidently say I have found my voice.

Thank you, Judy and team. You guys have helped me rediscover my true self and I m so happy my higher powers led me to you. I couldn t be more thankful. You all help me truly change my life by teaching me the essential skills to navigate through life one moment at a time. I highly recommend Judy as an extremely experienced therapist and her team. They are all here to help.
