MG’s Success Story
Looking Back
1. When you first arrived at ATMC, what were you struggling with most?
Insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
2. What concerns, fears, or doubts did you have about treatment when you began?
I had trust issues. I was reluctant to admit that I couldn’t titrate off these four pharma meds on my own. My kids had to talk me into coming here.
My Healing Journey
3. What were the most meaningful changes you’ve noticed in yourself during treatment?
Emotional stability, reduced symptoms, improved sleep or energy, increased self-trust, greater clarity or presence, improved relationships, sense of hope, connection with others.
Describe these changes in your own words:
ATMC creates a safe, supportive environment that fosters deep, reciprocal connections between everyone. Getting off the four psychiatric meds I came in on eliminated my symptoms and brought about emotional stability. The natural tinctures easily brought about restful sleep which increased my clarity and gave me a renewed sense of hope. Fully participating in the program gave me confidence which increased my self-trust.
4. Was there a moment, experience, or insight during treatment that felt especially important or transformative for you?
I advocated for myself and others with staff in a situation where they were quite late with no notice. I was respectfully listened to and an apology was made.
Strengths & Self-Discovery
5. What personal strengths or qualities did you reconnect with or discover during your time here?
Personal agency, discipline, courage, self-compassion, celebrating my wins, validating my own worth.
6. How do you relate to yourself differently now than when you arrived?
Much greater inner strength and self-belief.
Life Moving Forward
7. How do you imagine your life continuing or evolving as you leave treatment?
I will continue to foster self-love and establish healthy boundaries. I will stop trying to control others and build fulfilling relationships.
8. What tools, practices, or insights from ATMC do you plan to carry forward?
The CODA information was very helpful to me. I’ll locate a meeting to attend regularly when I get home.
Words for Others
9. If someone were considering ATMC and feeling unsure or afraid, what you you want them to know?
I would want them to know what a safe, supportive place ATMC is. The encouragement the staff offers makes you want to continually do more in order to grow and become your best self.
10. Briefly, how would you describe your experience at ATMC?
At ATMC I experienced an individualized, robust treatment program that helped me to completely get off my medication. The atmosphere was full of loving support and unconditional acceptance. The setting was luxurious with offerings like reiki, massage, sound healing, and acupuncture.
