Healing Emotional Trauma in a Safe, Supportive Space
At our emotional trauma treatment centers, we provide a safe and supportive environment to help you heal. Our trauma programs are designed to guide you through processing emotional trauma and rediscovering your sense of self.
Trauma Therapy That Treats the Root Cause
Trauma can stem from a single event or a series of traumatic events that are repeated over a period of time, causing individuals to suffer overwhelming, painful, frightening, or loathing emotions. Experiencing trauma during childhood while the brain is still developing can have severe and long-lasting effects that – if left untreated – can carry over into adulthood. The Meadows is dedicated to treating the root of trauma through therapy, helping individuals achieve lasting recovery and reclaim their lives.

Emotional Trauma Treatment FAQs

Sexual Compulsivity
Pornography Addiction
Relationship Addiction
Internet Sex Addiction
Sexual Anorexia
Sex Addiction in Young Adults
Is something wrong with me if I don’t want sex—or want it too much?
Not at all. Sexual desire varies widely between individuals and across different life stages. It can become a concern when it causes distress, impacts relationships, or stems from unresolved emotional or psychological issues. If you are feeling confused or conflicted about your sexual behavior or lack of interest, a member of our team can help. Give us a call at 928.260.3568.
How do I talk to my partner about my trauma or intimacy struggles?
Talking about trauma can feel very vulnerable, but openness can lead to deeper connection and understanding. Choose a calm time to talk, and explain that you want to share something important. Use “I” statements to describe your experiences (e.g., “I sometimes struggle with intimacy because of things from my past”). It’s okay to take things slow and ask for patience and support. If the conversation feels too overwhelming, seeking professional help could be a helpful step.
Can relationships survive sexual trauma or long-term intimacy issues?
Yes, many relationships not only survive but grow stronger through the healing process. With the right support, including treatment and open communication, relationships can work through the effects of trauma. Recovery takes time, but it’s absolutely possible when both partners are committed to understanding and supporting one another.
How can I support a loved one struggling with sex addiction and intimacy issues?
Supporting a loved one struggling with sex addiction and intimacy issues starts with listening and letting them know they are not alone. Educate yourself about what they are going through so you can better understand what they are experiencing.

How can I support a partner who has experienced sexual trauma?
Supporting a partner with sexual trauma — whether from their childhood or as an adult — starts with being a safe, nonjudgmental presence, respecting their boundaries, listening, and avoiding pressuring them physically or emotionally. Encourage them to seek help if they haven’t already, and consider couples workshops or therapy to work through the journey of healing.

Once admitted, our team members will work with the patient and their family to determine the next steps.
