Introduction to Men's Recovery Program Rediscover
Yourself with Our Specialized Approach At
Rippling Waters, our Men's Recovery Program is
uniquely crafted to support men in overcoming
personal challenges, gaining emotional
resilience, and achieving a healthier life.
Located on a private 400-acre retreat in the
Upper Catskills, our sanctuary offers a healing
space that addresses the specific needs and
struggles faced by men in recovery.

Why Choose a Mens-Only Program? Addressing
Unique Challenges Mens mental health and
recovery needs are distinct. Our program provides
a distraction-free, supportive environment where
men can focus on healing without societal
pressures. Research shows men often delay seeking
help due to expectations to "stay tough," leading
to issues such as anxiety, depression, and
addiction. Our dedicated program encourages
openness, emotional expression, and
self-discovery.

Benefits of Equine Therapy Partnering with
Majestic Horses Equine Therapy is an invaluable
component of our program. Working with Friesian
horses helps residents build trust, manage
emotions, and develop responsibility. Through
these interactions, men gain insights into
communication and compassion, experiencing
breakthroughs in self-acceptance and emotional
expression.

Cognitive Behavioral Approaches Rewiring
Negative Thought Patterns Through CBT and DBT,
our therapists guide men to identify harmful
thought patterns and coping mechanisms. These
therapies teach skills to manage stress, regulate
emotions, and create healthier mental pathways.
Residents gain a toolkit for long-term resilience
and self-regulation.

Trauma and PTSD Recovery EMDR Brain
Spotting For those recovering from trauma and
PTSD, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brain Spotting therapies.
These evidence-based techniques help men confront
and process traumatic memories, easing emotional
burdens and creating space for new, positive
experiences.

Building Emotional Resilience Focus on
Empowerment Men are often conditioned to
suppress emotions, which can block recovery. Our
program emphasizes emotional resilience through
self-expression, helping men reclaim a healthier
sense of self. By overcoming emotional
suppression, men learn to communicate openly and
foster supportive relationships.
10
Physical and Mental Wellness Holistic Health
Practices Physical wellness is integral to our
program. Daily practices such as yoga, guided
meditation, and breathing exercises promote
mind-body connection and mental clarity. These
activities improve focus, reduce stress, and
enhance overall well-being, providing a
foundation for enduring personal growth.
11
Small Group Setting for Personalized
Attention Fostering Brotherhood and
Support With a maximum of ten residents, our
intimate setting ensures personalized care and
fosters camaraderie among men. Residents support
one another, sharing their journeys and forming
bonds that reinforce commitment to recovery and
create a lasting support network.
