Licensed, accredited and upscale recovery for adults. 
Though eating disorders have also been an issue long in the past, society didn’t really start addressing it as a disorder until the 1950s, when it was added to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). These kinds of disorders can be extremely dangerous towards a person’s overall well-being. One thing many people do not realize is that an eating disorder is very similar to that of a substance abuse disorder, and the two often go hand-in-hand. What we often find with people who struggle with eating disorders is that they also suffer from some kind of substance dependency, or vice versa. Today, we’re going to discuss how eating disorders and substance abuse disorders relate to each other.
Substance abuse disorders are complicated and can have a significant impact on a person. But how does addiction develop? The one thing that is often related to the development of substance abuse disorders is the brain’s reward system. These channels offer the ability to “reward” a person through what it deems “rewarding” activities. There are many problems with this kind of cycle and we are going to go in-depth on how a person develops an addiction.
Recovery from addiction is a lengthy process involving physical and mental withdrawal, long term hunger and lifestyle changes to help you fight against the original causes of your addiction. Although the first step to overcoming an addiction is always to seek professional assistance with addictions treatment, you will need to start building your support group while you’re in treatment so that you can count on people to help you once you’re out of a clinic.

THE TRUTH IS DIFFICULT (This Will Change Your Spiritual Life)

Battling himself to find the Lord - His Mansion Ministries March 2020 Newsletter



March 2020 Newsletter 
Ryan 
Battling himself to find the Lord
     
 
     Oftentimes childhood trauma can leave unanswered questions: Why did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? What do these actions against me mean about me as a person? How could God have let this happen? Many go through their lives searching and acting out as a result of early abuse. Ryan was no exception to this onset of inner turmoil. In fact, his questions led him to pursue a Master's degree in counseling. However, merely seeking knowledge to aid others could not quiet the chaos within.

     By the time Ryan arrived at His Mansion in 2013, he realized he needed healing that went beyond his symptoms of depression and sex addiction. His relationships with women were unhealthy and he had almost none with men. He realized that he hoped to marry some day and have a family, but his past interfered with his hopes for the future. "I wanted to stop the lifestyle, be a slave to it no longer." With over 30 years of painful patterns developed, Ryan arrived expecting condemnation and disgust. Instead he encountered a Christ-centered community emitting grace and love.
