Emotional Component to Healing

Many people avoid expressing unpleasant emotions because they can bring out deep psychological distress and the darkest places of the self. Feelings of anger, sadness, fear, panic and shame can be overbearing and positive efforts to conquer them can seem out of reach. At Balance Treatment Center, our treatment team believes emotional well-being is a key component to a contented and fulfilling life.

Emotional stability is important not only to enable us to think clearly and behave in a functional and productive way, but also to keep us safe and free from self-harm. As humans it is extremely difficult to make changes in our experiences of emotion. At Balance Treatment Center we work with clients to make changes through thought patterns, behavior patterns or through appropriate medication stabilization.

Balance Treatment Center clients will be given a thorough psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management by our in-house board certified psychiatrist. Clients will participate in activities like Guided Imagery and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation. Our team will work together to identify our clients’ emotional conflicts and needs and will use therapeutic activities to help clients deal with painful emotions, anxiety, self-injurious behavior and other struggles.

Our goal at Balance Treatment Center is to work with clients on releasing debilitating emotions and false self-beliefs so they can live and work better in stable rewarding personal and professional relationships.
