Attachment Style Retreat

It’s hard to put into words how happy I am that I found this workshop intensive. I struggled finding the right therapist, the right support system, and recovery program, but immediately after my first session I finally felt like I was being seen and heard and understood. I struggled with relationships – getting out of ones that did not serve me and knowing what I truly wanted and needed. After doing an intensive at the Glass House, I was assigned to my PIVOT advocate who has helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. She has taught me so much about myself and given me tools to use for a lifetime. I can feel the change within myself and the way I approach all of my relationships because of the curriculum. I never want to miss a session and genuinely enjoy the work. It’s unlike any curriculum I’ve experienced and it should be taught to everyone who wants to keep growing and evolving. I’ve recommended it to close friends and friends in recovery and their lives are changed as well.

I tell other people’s stories for a living, through a podcast that I run with authors and through the interviews I run for leading brands. What I didn’t realize until I attended a Glass House retreat was that the story I really needed to uncork was my own.

Over five days at The Glass House, I reconnected with my inner child, rediscovered my teenage self, and identified the repairs I needed to make so I could become a healthy adult. I cried hard, laughed harder, now know what my non-negotiables are for my marital relationship.

Most importantly, while I have felt unseen for most of my life, I embrace that I now truly am the writer of my own story. In short, I matter. Believing this has helped me show up differently in the relationship I have with my spouse, my friends and family, my clients, and myself.

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for the Pivot team as well as for the other men I spent the week with. I truly feel transformed after that 5-day retreat, much more so than after being in individual therapy for over two years.

A five day program that created the clarity I was searching for. I am now aware of my inner child & teen behaviors playing out in my adult life that has created both personal & relationship dynamics that leave me exhausted & unfulfilled. I am forever grateful to have learned how to get myself into my healthy adult! The one on one sessions combined with group sessions was a perfect blend to learn & process this new information. Infinite thank you to Lori for creating this program & all the staff for your loving support each day.

From the time of my arrival to such a beautiful and picturesque home to my departure, everything was so organized and clearly well thought out. The modalities, staff, and processes – it was simply amazing!! While I consider myself to be aware and intentional about nurturing my mental and emotional health – there is simply no way I could have accomplished what happened there on my own.

The care, professionalism, knowledge, skills, and compassion that you and the staff possess is world class. Seriously! I believe each one of you there on staff are exactly where you should be doing the work in which you are so gifted. Your passion for helping people is very evident.

The work we did together blessed me with epiphanies and knowledge that I can now use in practical ways to improve my life and those around me. I do want to give special recognition to one of the Pivot coaches there – Kelley Hattox. I can’t say enough about the impact she has had in my life. Thank you, Kelley, for being you! Your wisdom and concern for my well-being are so appreciated.

In closing Lori Jean, I want you to know how thankful I am all that you did for me and encourage you to keep fighting the good fight. The Pivot Team changes lives and makes the world a better place. May you and the staff always be strengthened with the conviction that we do not have to live in emotional pain and suffering and that there is hope found in Pivot.
