Grata Life

“My routine saves my life” says my Clinical Case Manager. I’m starting to believe that. He’s been there before himself, so he knows what he’s talking about. 

He helps me to bring things outside of Grata into clear focus. We meet and assess what’s working in my life and what I’d like to change. Part of our the process has been creating objectives that help me work towards my goals.

I’m one-on-one with my Primary Therapist. I was terrified coming into treatment, but now I’m experiencing hope due to the compassion my therapist has shown me.

Today we’re working on my relationship with myself and how I process emotions. I’m learning about how I used to regulate my feelings with substances as a short-term solution. Now, I’m breaking through into new states of awareness that far surpass anything I’ve ever experienced.

I attend my personal training session with Grata’s Certified Personal Trainer. Ari helps support me in my healing journey as I regain my physical strength.

Getting into Grata’s on-site fitness center nourishes and restores my body. It’s my amends to myself, as I’m learning to tolerate treating myself better.

Time to unwind and process the day. Sometimes I choose to journal in my private room, other times I might take a dip in the pool or use the sauna. This protected time for self-care is teaching me healthy ways to decompress without substances.

I’m discovering that giving myself permission to rest and recuperate is not a luxury but a necessity for maintaining my well-being and recovery.
