Preface: At times, my client’s insights and feedback can best relay the therapeutic treatment process provided at Psychological Health and Wellness trauma therapy center. Below is one such testimonial on the subject of sleep deprivation and the therapeutic process, published anonymously with the patient’s approval about her patient counseling experience.

In 2006 I was already seeing a therapist.  I had been going pretty regularly for almost 18 months for anxiety, sleep problems and some ugly fears.  I was afraid of many things, and would think about them and think about them and make myself just about crazy with worry.  I had few friends and would be totally absorbed in my work, in fact many weeks I logged 85-90 hours of work.

My company loved me, but my co-workers thought I was a freak, one even called me the ROBOTQUEEN, it was a miserable time for me.  During this time I had a family emergency and my older sister was arrested and went to jail and later to prison and her 8 yr old son had nowhere else to go but to come live with me.

That proved more than I could handle, I loved him, but I couldn’t take the extra work, and attention and messiness of a child in my home.  The alternative was to put him in foster care, and the thought of doing that made me feel s—-y about myself.  The CPS referred me to Dr. Robert Rhoton.

I visited with Dr. Rhoton at Psychological Health and Wellness trauma therapy center in Mesa, Arizona and thought well maybe I can do this.  Bob was very kind and encouraging, he never made it sound easy, he never gave me the psychobabble crap that I had heard from my own therapist.  It felt like for the first time in my life someone really heard me and knew me.  I couldn’t believe how much relief I got is just the first 5 sessions.  Then we worked on my sleep and fears for 6 or 7 sessions.  I hadn’t felt so together in years.
