Finding road to recovery in PTSD

NEWTON — The Sussex County affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will host a presentation and discussion on "Finding the Road to Recovery from Post-traumatic Stress" at 7 p.m. on Thursdsay, June 2.
Cognitive-behavioral therapist Anne Nedelka, LPC, will cover the symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the therapeutic interventions which have proven successful in treating it.
Nedelka has been in private practice in Sussex County for twelve years. She is an intensively trained team member of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In her practice, she emphasizes the importance of "Mindful Learning," a process which involves a way to dissolve previously entrenched mindsets that are both non-productive and destructive.
"Stress is an inevitable part of life, " Nedelka explains. "When we look at the learning experiences that come from daily struggles, we begin to understand that stress is a natural part of human growth, and this can energize us. We can learn to work with it, understand it, and find meaning."
The program will be held at Bridgeway, 93 Stickles Pond Rd., Newton, N.J. The public is welcome to attend free of charge. Pre-registration is not required. For information or directions, call NAMI Sussex at 973-214-0632.
