REVIEW TRAUMA THERAPY I have been receiving counsel from Dr. Glen Maiden for Alcoholism and childhood sexual and emotional trauma. I have been actively seeking recovery for 30 years. I have been in many treatment facilities over the years for eating disorders, alcohol, drugs and mental health issues. I have also seen many therapists. Although I experienced some healing in the past, I could not quit drinking and I continued to be tormented in many ways by childhood trauma. From my first online meeting with Dr. Glen, I knew this was going deeper than any therapy I had experienced before.I find that he has a wide and deep understanding of addiction and recovery. Dr. Glens approach encompasses the whole person; mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. Dr. Glen also has such knowledge and a practical approach to sexual matters in a recovering persons life. I think many treatments overlook and do not address that area of a person’s life when most of the time addiction and sexuality are closely intertwined. There is nothing that can’t be brought to the table to uncover, unravel, expose and heal. One of the things that really helps me is that Dr. Glen meets me where I’m at. We work on issues that are affecting me in the present as they present themselves; instead of following a strict agenda. We also work on regulating my emotions so that I am not overwhelmed. Since working with Dr. Glen I am much more in touch with my feelings and emotions. I feel grounded for the first time. I do not feel tormented by my past. A lot of wonderful opportunities are unfolding in my life. I recently collaborated with a few women to start a prayer/recovery group and I am also part of a group of leaders implementing a Christian Recovery group in a church. I feel that my work with Dr. Glen has enabled me to meet and experience my true self and shake off those shackles of addiction that have been holding me hostage. The longer I work with Dr. Glen, the more my self esteem grows the closer I grow to being free to be who God has called me to be – just me – no longer controlled by alcohol or the pain of my past experiences.
