Intensive Therapy Retreats in Beacon, NY, Helps Adults Recover from Trauma

Sep 27, 2023

Intensive Therapy Retreats in Beacon, NY, offer evidence-based therapeutic modalities to help people recover from trauma and restore stability in their lives.

Beacon, New York, United States - September 27, 2023 —

A traumatic event can occur at any age, but it can have a long-term impact on mental and physical health. Psychological trauma is a mental response to a significant life event, such as an accident, separation, or sexual abuse. Some people experience early, while many notice effects later in life. Without proper therapy and adequate support, it can result in emotional imbalances, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms. Therefore, it becomes crucial for adults to locate a mental health professional specializing in science-based therapies for PTSD patients and help them recover and restore balance in their lives. For instance, Intensive Therapy Retreats provides an effective and convenient program, Therapy Trauma Retreat Beacon, NY, for adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mental health issues.

Whenever dealing with mental health issues or psychological trauma, it's best to work with a qualified mental health professional to determine the suitable treatment and care based on individual needs and circumstances. In many cases, a combination of treatment options may be most effective. For instance, a trained psychologist can customize a treatment plan involving cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, mind-body practices, and other therapies to ensure wholesome recovery for patients. Although there are several therapy options for trauma and mental health problems, a mental health retreat can be an excellent option for those looking for faster results and getting away from everyday life to focus on recovery. For instance, Intensive Therapy Retreats run a Mental Retreat Beacon, NY program where patients receive intensive counseling, 24/7 support, and proven treatment methods to ensure a faster recovery. 

"I have participated in intensive therapy with Dr. Bambi Rattner on three different occasions. I had not done a therapy intensive before and was hesitant, but Bambi made me feel comfortable right from the start. She is warm, accepting, non-judgmental, and deeply kind. As a trauma survivor, it is hard for me to feel safe with people, and yet Bambi created an environment where it felt safe to do this deep work. Bambi is a highly skilled psychologist who very obviously loves her work and cares about her clients. I would not hesitate to work with her again." - Jessica B.

Unlike a regular counseling session, where individuals receive about 45 minutes to an hour per week for therapy, joining a retreat program enables them to get constant support and scientifically proven strategies for trauma recovery. A therapy retreat can consist of various modalities and techniques, depending on the mental health condition and individual needs. For example, to start working through their feelings and healing from their trauma, people need a place where they feel safe to express themselves. A mental health retreat provides a safe space and supportive environment where people can express their emotions, trigger points, and other feelings in a non-judgmental setting.

Many trauma victims and people with mental illness isolate themselves and can feel lonely despite having family members' support. Individuals might find support from people who have been through similar situations by attending a retreat. A sense of belonging and community might develop as a result of this link. People who have experienced trauma may find themselves emotionally drained and unable to cope. Workshops and counseling sessions at retreats frequently focus on helping participants learn to cope with and overcome challenging emotions. For example, mental health retreats in Beacon, NY, consist of proven modalities like EMDR and IFS, which can help identify the behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms hindering trauma recovery. This program, run by Intensive Therapy Retreats, involves EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy), which have proven effective therapies for people with mental health disorders and trauma. 

Psychotherapy methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can aid in recovery from traumatic situations. To implement EMDR, the therapist will have the client reflect on a traumatic experience while guiding eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (such as tapping or noises). Bilateral stimulation is used in EMDR to aid the brain in processing the traumatic memory in a new way, resulting in the client feeling less distress and unpleasant feelings. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping patients gain insight into and control over their mental processes. The idea behind IFS, which psychiatrist Dr. Richard Schwartz developed, is that people have several "parts" or subpersonalities (behaviors and habits developed over time) that each impact their actions and feelings. Intensive Therapy Retreats employ these techniques in their retreat programs to help individuals process their emotions and learn coping skills for trauma recovery. 

The mental health retreats are designed to help individuals get back their lives on track. During the retreat, a trained psychologist helps them to identify repeated behaviors and resentments and find ways to deal with them. The therapist also offers insights into negative thinking and how it contributes to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other emotional responses. They also teach how to remain in self-control during difficult situations or trigger points that contribute to mental health problems and practice positive communication. Help from a trained therapist can improve one's ability to communicate needs, establish appropriate limits, and feel heard by those close to them. After completing the mental health retreat, many patients learn practical communication skills, improve their self-confidence, and coping skills to manage their emotions and recover from traumatic memories. Those looking for a trauma or couple's therapy retreat in NY can consider joining Intensive Therapy Retreats, offering trained psychologists and a safe environment for faster recovery from mental health problems, relationship issues, and traumatic experiences.

Novak builds 3-shot lead in Mexico Open

VALLARTA, Mexico — Andrew Novak caught up to the lead with an eagle and pulled away with three birdies on his last four holes Friday (Saturday in Manila) to match his low score on the PGA Tour, a 10-under 61 that gave him a three-shot lead in the Mexico Open. Novak drove the reachable par-4 13th and holed a 12-foot eagle putt and it looked to be a two-man race to the finish line of the second round between him and Ben Griffin. But on the par-4 15th, Griffin drove into the water and had to scramble for a bogey, while Novak holed a birdie putt from just outside 15 feet for a two-shot swing. Novak closed with a 20-foot birdie putt to finish at 14-under 128, three shots over a group of five players that included Griffin (67) and Kihei Akina, the 20-year-old sophomore at BYU who had a 64 to post his ninth round of 67 or lower in his last four PGA Tour starts. Also in the mix were Matthieu Pavon (66), Adrien Dumont du Chassart (67) and Kensei Hirata of Japan (68). "I separated a little bit, but we're halfway there. There's so much golf to play," Novak said. "I'm going to have to go out and keep hitting a bunch of fairways. If I'm hitting my irons like this, I'm going to be able to give myself a lot of opportunities. "I don't know if I'll make as many putts as I did today, but as long as I'm maximizing my opportunities and make a few of those with the putter, I should be in a good spot." Conditions have been favorable for scoring at Vidanta Vallarta. The average score for the opening two rounds was roughly two shots below par. The cut came at 4-under 138. Among those who failed to make it to the weekend were Tony Finau, who missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 71 to miss the cut by one, and US Open champion Wyndham Clark (73), the only player from the top 10 in the world in the field. Novak, who reached the Tour Championship last year, is at No. 89 in the FedEx Cup Fall. He recently checked his statistics and found them similar to last year, except for the putting. "I was just truly one of the worst putters in the world for — well, on the PGA Tour — for about eight months," Novak said. "I turned a bunch of 66s and 67s into 69s and 70s and that doesn't really get it done out here. I think the putter I put in at Wyndham has actually shown up, and my game never left; it's still there. Now when I actually am putting decent, it's turning into good results." Alvaro Ortiz, who grew up in Guadalajara, overcame a double bogey on the 18th hole at the turn and shot 68. He was five shots behind, the low Mexican player going into the final two rounds. Ortiz won the Mexico Open when it was a PGA Tour Latinoamérica event. He will have a full card on the PGA Tour next year from being in the top 20 on the Korn Ferry Tour.

LIV Golf faces uncertain future as players flee

LIV Golf faces uncertain future as players flee

LIV Golf didn't generate this much suspense at tournaments when the music was blaring, the Saudi cash was flowing freely and players from the Cleeks and Majestics headed off in carts for the shotgun start. Every day, there's more speculation. Who's leaving? Who's staying? Weren't these the same questions four years ago? It was May 31, 2022, when a group of golf writers out to dinner in Ohio received emails announcing the field for the inaugural LIV Golf event — Dustin Johnson and 12 other PGA Tour members — and had to leave before the crème brûlée arrived. And now another waiting game, not for the launch but whether LIV survives. LIV Golf is working through Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a pledge of $300 million from BC Partners Credit, a far cry from the $5 billion the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia dropped in four years before abruptly pulling the plug. Key to the "LIV 2.0" version — at least 10 tournaments, player equity and prize money half of what it used to be — is getting a "critical mass" of players to buy into the plan. How many players comprise a critical mass is unclear. And while LIV officials don't plan to announce each decision piecemeal, players are doing that for them. Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia have court-approved separations from LIV and are free to go. Louis Oosthuizen, Ian Poulter, Tom McKibbin and Adrian Meronk have said they are leaving. Graeme McDowell added his name to the list Monday with a succinct message on social media. Adding a wrinkle to the immediate future of LIV was a report by The Athletic that Johnson was among more than 10 players seeking severance deals from PIF worth more than $100 million in contract payments. Johnson's attorney suggested a deal was tied to players sticking with LIV 2.0. "The decision to release potential claims against the PIF and join LIV 2.0 will be influenced largely by how the PIF manages the windup of LIV 1.0," David Cornwell told The Athletic. An amended restructuring agreement approved by the New Jersey bankruptcy court indicates LIV no longer has a hard deadline for players to decide. The hope was to have a decision by the end of the month. LIV remains bullish about a 2027 season. That won't be the end of the drama, however, and it would seem the golf landscape is still a long way off from being stitched back together, if it ever can be. The PGA Tour has yet to say whether defectors — currently banned for one year from the date of their last LIV appearance — have a place. It's not a high priority as the tour seeks to fill out its lucrative "Championship Series" schedule in 2028 and find sponsors for the second tier.

Resilient Constantino conquers LPGT Finale in Davao

Resilient Constantino conquers LPGT Finale in Davao

RUNNING low on motivation after an exhausting season that had taken her to nearly 20 tournaments, Harmie Constantino appeared to have little left in the tank. But when the final round demanded one last fight, the multi-titled campaigner found a fresh reserve of resolve — and turned a potentially wild, down-to-the-wire finish into a commanding two-shot triumph in the season-ending Ladies Philippine Golf Tour event in Davao City. Constantino overcame a two-shot deficit, shrugged off an early miscue and ignited her charge with a string of birdies, including three straight from No. 5. What initially shaped up as a volatile duel for the crown gradually tilted in her favor as she stayed patient, kept her shots under control, and watched her chief rival falter under pressure. She closed with a 69 for a 54-hole total of 213, capping a stirring comeback that belied her recent admission that the grind of a long campaign had drained her motivation. By the finish, she had transformed a tight leaderboard battle into a two-shot victory over Korean Kim Seoyun, who faltered with a 73 and a 215. The turnaround was all the more striking given how the final round began. Kim, tied with Chanelle Avaricio after 36 holes, initially seized control despite opening with two bogeys, answering with three consecutive birdies from No. 6. Avaricio, meanwhile, stumbled with three bogeys on the front nine and never recovered. Avaricio faded with a 76 and dropped to joint third at 218 with Yvon Bisera and Princess Superal, who shot 71 and 74, respectively. Constantino, playing in a separate flight, began to make her move with her birdie run from No. 5. As the contenders traded blows, the prospect of a dramatic finish remained very much alive. But the complexion of the championship changed on the back nine, where Constantino's steady play contrasted sharply with Kim's unraveling challenge. Kim bogeyed three of the first four holes coming home, opening the door for Constantino to stretch her lead to as many as three strokes. The Korean managed a birdie on the final hole, but it was too little, too late to prevent Constantino from securing the title. For Constantino, the victory was less about a sudden swing change than a decision to trust her game and resist the temptation to force the issue. "I think it's a hard question," she said when asked how she had summoned the energy to contend after admitting she was exhausted and had run out of motivation following a season of close to 20 tournaments. "I think I just tried to fight through it. I saw that I was hitting it well and I had a good chance. So, I just kept trying to fight through it," she said. Asked what had changed to help her rediscover her form, Constantino pointed not to a major adjustment but to patience and discipline.
