Peninsula Village Q/A thread
Hrt2hrtScandal:
No, I was in lock down for six months. I did not even see outside the unit for most of that time.
nimdA:
wow...
Ok Let's talk about individual therapy next.
Care to elaborate onto the amount of and type of individual therapy administered at PV?
Hrt2hrtScandal:
There was no one on one or individual therapy. I had one hour of family therapy with my dad once a week. This was with a senior staff member, or clinician. At first PV would alternate with my mom and dad until the above mentioned incident. After that it was just with my dad.
nimdA:
How were these sessions conducted?
Hrt2hrtScandal:
Basically everybody checks in with three feelings or emotions and then the group leader or community leader (a level 2 patient) asks who calls time. If you want to say something you put out your hand as though you were going to receive something in your palm. A raised hand is for staff only. Staff oversees the group therapy. We were supposed to have group therapy with the staff psychologist and another male senior staffer once a week but it usually happened less often than that. We did not mind though because we all dreaded those sessions.
Family therapy either occurred by phone, or if parents live nearby in person and was usually once a week. There is a small room in the lower level of the STU unit where the family therapists conduct family therapy.
I would like to add that therapy is what PV calls it but it is unlike any "therapy" that I am familiar with.
