Heal for Life Foundation

Trauma Focused TreatmentHeal for Life Foundation, which was founded in 1999, believes that the vast majority of people who struggle with addictions, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions have experienced trauma or abuse as children. Heal for Life Foundation specializes in using holistic approaches to treat co-occurring disorders and trauma in men, women, and children. The T.R.E.E. recovery paradigm was developed by the Heal for Life Foundation (trust, release, empower, educate). The fundamental tenet of the paradigm is the idea that for long-lasting neurobiological changes to take place, emotions that were repressed during the trauma must be released. Additionally, their paradigm acknowledges the crucial role played by psychoanalytic, Rogerian, systemic family, transactional analysis, gestalt, and emotionally focused therapies. The Heal for Life Foundation does not offer group therapy because they do not want their patients to share their experiences and run the risk of re-traumatization or vicarious trauma. Peer assistance is offered along with educational seminars and webinars by the Heal for Life Foundation.A Sanctuary Surrounded by NatureHeal for Life Foundation is set on 340 acres of beautiful Australian bush land.
