C-PTSD Recovery for the Body, Mind, Spirit and Soul

Living in constant fear is exhausting and crippling. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was once thought of as a disorder affecting mainly veterans. It’s now known that this condition can impact anyone who’s experienced trauma. If nightmares rob you of sleep and anxiety and burnout keep you trapped, living on high alert, you can start to feel hopeless.

But that’s not the end of your story. It is possible to overcome PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and trauma so you can feel like yourself again. 

The Sanctuary at Sedona is a 30-day residential holistic PTSD treatment center. Trauma impacts you on every level. So, our all-inclusive PTSD and C-PTSD treatment program focuses on healing your trauma in all the places where it lives — your mind, body, soul and spirit.

You deserve to be free from PTSD — to live a full, vibrant and happy life. Start your recovery journey at our beautiful PTSD retreat center in the serene landscape of Sedona, Arizona.

What Exactly Is PTSD?

Trauma impacts everyone in a different way. Post-traumatic stress disorder is not an indication of how “strong” or “weak” you are. It’s simply a reflection of your natural attempts to process what’s going on. This condition forms when a traumatic event, such as abuse, violence or a disaster, overwhelms your ability to manage it — and that capacity is different for everyone. Even seemingly less significant events can have a profound and painful impact on you. 

PTSD often co-occurs with addiction and other mental health disorders. This condition can also lead to addiction, as trauma sufferers sometimes use alcohol and other substances to self-soothe painful symptoms and emotions. 

Complex PTSD and Deeper Trauma

Another form of PTSD is known as complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). This related condition is also rooted in trauma. Yet, C-PTSD is usually caused by a prolonged or repeated experience, such as ongoing violence, abuse or captivity. 

While this condition shares many of the same traits as PTSD, the ongoing nature of the traumatic events experienced means a loss of self and identity. Those with C-PTSD also find it difficult to control their emotions and form relationships with others.

Who Is Most At Risk Of Suffering From PTSD?

Most people experience trauma at some point in their lives. But while most people recover naturally, some incur trauma and develop PTSD as a result. 

While PTSD was once thought of as a disorder affecting mainly veterans, it’s now known that this set of symptoms can affect anyone who’s been traumatized. This can result from events like: 

  • Car accidents 
  • Sexual abuse 
  • Childhood abuse
  • Childbirth 
  • Witnessing death or injury 
  • Being a victim of violent crime
  • Diagnosis with a life-threatening illness 
  • Natural disaster
  • War

Post-traumatic stress disorder can also result from seemingly less significant events if they have a profound impact on you. PTSD is not an indication of how “strong” or “weak” you are. It’s simply a reflection of your natural attempts to process what’s going on.

What Is Holistic Recovery From PTSD and C-PTSD? 

Trauma is stored in the body, relived in the mind and held captive in the soul. This is why PTSD has physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual effects. Releasing past trauma is essential to a whole-person recovery process.

At The Sanctuary, we address every form of PTSD using a holistic treatment approach. Rather than applying a singular treatment method, like clinical psychotherapy, our immersive healing techniques treat the whole of you. Treating every level of your existence together drastically increases your chance of complete and lasting recovery.  

Holistic healing includes your:

Body

Our bodies contain a record of everything that’s ever happened to us. To heal the physical aspects of trauma, you must release it from where it’s held on a cellular level.

Through detoxification and a healthy diet, we help to encourage healthy serotonin production. We also provide movement therapies and bodywork to help you physically let go of trauma. 

Mind

To get beyond managing symptoms, you must understand what’s causing them. Most things that drive behaviors and patterns in your life reside in your subconscious mind — including unresolved traumas, wounds and dysfunctional beliefs. To heal these, we have to access the subconscious parts of the mind and bring them into the light. Once you’re aware, you can process deep-seated trauma in talk therapy and start to feel better.

Soul

The soul is our essence — our truest and most authentic nature. It’s who we are before all of our wounds, traumas and addictions. Your soul is where you derive your meaning.

Experiences of trauma can teach you that it’s not safe to be yourself. That it’s not okay to express who you truly are. When that happens, you begin to separate from that essential self. 

At The Sanctuary, we pay special attention to healing your soul from trauma and PTSD. We do this through therapies involving creativity and ritual — the languages the soul speaks. This allows you to reconnect to your true nature and free yourself to live happily and authentically.

Spirit

The way we interact with the world around us has a lot to do with our own energy system. Science confirms that the body’s electrical systems are connected to a larger energetic field. When this becomes compromised in some way, it directly hijacks our nervous system.

Through the use of energy medicine and energy psychology, we’re able to access and heal this system. Our PTSD treatment center is home to highly skilled energy practitioners who play an essential role in your recovery journey.

What makes alternative holistic PTSD treatment at The Sanctuary so effective is the combined synergy of our program components. 

At The Sanctuary, everything you do during your 30-day program is a progression of what you’ve done before. Each morning, you’ll receive a personal schedule with all your therapies and activities for the day. These are carefully coordinated by a team of therapists who work together to serve your recovery process in the most effective way.

Unlike other trauma recovery centers that pick and choose which offerings to provide guests, we empower guests with an all-inclusive PTSD treatment. Every aspect of your care is included in the price. Tying all the pieces together in this way makes our program so much stronger so you can overcome issues as serious and deeply rooted as PTSD and complex trauma.

Explore what’s included in our core 30-day PTSD residential program.

Safe, Supportive Setting

The thought of revisiting past trauma can be intimidating. Complex PTSD especially can leave you struggling to feel safe in any environment. That’s why we’ve created a serene, supportive environment amid the beauty of nature, where you can relax, release pent-up emotions and prepare for the deep work ahead.

Our beautiful 22-acre campus, surrounded by vibrant red rock landscapes, is the ideal setting to release the stress stored in your cellular memory. From luxury accommodations to gourmet organic meals and world-class amenities, every aspect of your stay is thoughtfully designed for total immersion. 

For our team at The Sanctuary, this is more than a job — this is our passion and purpose. We eat our meals with guests every day, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort. Many clients say they instantly feel like part of the family, which helps them feel welcome, comfortable and confident about their healing journey.

Psychiatric Assessment

PTSD residential treatment at The Sanctuary includes an in-depth psychiatric assessment. Weekly follow-up sessions with our board-certified psychiatrist allow us to determine the manifestations of your PTSD symptoms and pinpoint areas of concern. 

Hands-on support is also available to help with your prescription needs. While our holistic approach does not negate the use of medication, many of our clients find that they’re able to take less medication because other therapeutic methods reduce their symptoms.

Talk Therapy and Evidence-Based Therapeutic Treatments for PTSD

At The Sanctuary, we encourage clients to explore our many therapeutic pathways and coping strategies for PTSD until they find what resonates with them. Our therapists are highly skilled in multiple disciplines and are happy to guide you through this process.

We treat PTSD using a completely individualized holistic program, which integrates various trauma-based therapy techniques. Each method approaches trauma from a different angle. Your care may include a number of therapies that have been proven successful in treating PTSD, including:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy: This therapy uses specific eye movements to help you move memories to a safer place in your brain so you don’t feel as acutely affected by them.
  • Exposure Therapy: The primary goal of this behavioral therapy is to overcome fears through confrontation. 
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT involves evaluating thought processes, triggers and reactions to help you understand how you mentally process trauma and change your behavioral responses.

Alternative Holistic Therapies for PTSD

Along with our cutting-edge PTSD clinical therapies, we offer a host of holistic treatments based on ancient Indigenous wisdom and alternative healing modalities. Our experienced practitioners provide a complete roadmap to recovery and guide you through every step of the process. 

Along with daily yoga and meditation, we provide many relaxation techniques to help you recenter physically, mentally and spiritually. We also offer more specialized mind-body healing techniques to treat deeply rooted trauma, including:

  • Somatic Experiencing: Helps you develop a healthier relationship with the bodily sensations and emotions that arise as a result of trauma.
  • Energy Medicine: Guides you on an inward journey to discover and resolve the issues at the core of your wounding. It uses Reiki, acupuncture and acupressure to promote energy flow and, ultimately, trauma recovery.
  • Ketamine-Assisted Treatment (KAT): The use of ketamine IV infusions helps many clients struggling with treatment-resistant trauma like C-PTSD open themselves up to a deeper healing experience.

Comprehensive Integration Aftercare

Every client who comes to us for PTSD treatment is cared for long beyond the 30-day program. We offer comprehensive aftercare that helps you transition back into everyday life. Counseling and various other resources help your healing stay on track.
