Treatment Testimonial- Colson's Story
My name in Colson And one of the most often questions I get from adults back at home is: "Was treatment helpful and why?” I will say treatment had its ups and downs but there were more ups than downs. Lots of people are more likely to not like treatment and say they don't need it, And think places like [RTC program name] or other places shouldn't exist. But speaking from experience, most people should go through a program or some form of mental health program. I had the pleasant experience having one of the best therapists ever at [this program]. It's a new program and it was definitely right for me. One of the things they specialized was individual therapy. The main key I think to a good therapist and client relationship is the friendship. I developed really good trust with my therapist and became really good friends in the process. What many people don't realize is that they are living with mental health and they don't even know it. Many people don't realize because they are so self centered that can't admit that they might need help. I personally didn't know I had mental health until I met my therapist. I used to struggle with depression and lots of anxiety. It was really hard to live with both of those things and it made it really hard to see clearly.
