Residential Therapy

Today is a day that I hope will change a life, Carly has suffered from depression for years. Some days, she hides it well, but more and more lately, she has not. she has been in therapy and medication for years, however, her self destructive, self sabotaging behaviors have not improved.  They have, instead, escalated over the past few years. 

At the suggestion of multiple doctors and therapists, Carly is moving today to a treatment facility in Columbus, Indiana that we hope and pray will be life altering for her.  She will live there for about six months. This facility offers a very specialized form of treatment that we have heard and read great things about.  It is called Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Carly is extremely excited to go. She doesn't want to feel the way she does. She wants to be happy and mentally healthy.  Which is what everyone who knows her wants for her, as well.  It is going to be very hard on her to be away from her nieces and nephews because she adores them and they feel the same way. 

There are many people who have prayed for Carly on a daily basis over the years.  This day will be made easier with Dove chocolates, my friends and continued prayers.
