    Ph: 800-533-5266
    www.delamotreatment.com

    Del Amo Hospital Treatment Center has a nationally recognized Trauma Program. This Program utilizes the “Trauma Model” approach for the treatment of trauma-based disorders, including PTSD, Dissociative Disorder, and Self-Harm Behaviors. This model relies on cognitive therapies to guide the individual towards self awareness and trauma resolution. The goal of treatment is to use the structure and therapeutic processes of the trauma model for stabilization, to generate improved functioning, and a return to outpatient therapy. The program focuses on disorganized, ambivalent attachment patterns and feelings of self-blame. This model is designed as a highly-structured inpatient program which can be stepped down to a partial program.

    Healing Music for Survivors

    Songs for the Inner Child by Shania Noll

     


    Strength To Heal offers hope, inspiration and healing for survivors of ritual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, mind control, torture, programming and sexual abuse. Ritual abuse is commonly repetitive abuse, which can be multi-generational and associated with ritual beliefs and practices. Our goal is to provide hope, inspiration, and healing for survivors of ritual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, mind control, torture, programming and sexual abuse by sharing survivor and caregiver stories, clinicians' helpful tools and comprehensive resources that the author has found helpful in her own recovery from ritual abuse. Ritual abuse is a brutal form of abuse of children, adolescents, and adults, consisting of physical, sexual, psychological and spiritual abuse, and the use of rituals, though not necessarily satanic. This website is based on the soon to be published book "Your Strength to Heal".
