Recommendations for a retreat or similar?

[potoroo]

DH is recovering from a breakdown and although he is getting better I don't think he has really dealt with a lot of the underlying issues that led to it. He has had some counselling but I think having a week or so away as a retreat or similar would be more helpful.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?

TIA

my mum regularly goes to a retreat but they are run by religious organisations, (no pressureto join in) do you think he would be open to that?

this is a place I am considering going to similar set up to where mum goes

My dh is into meditation and goes to Gaia House in Devon for a week each summer.

Not sure it would help your dh, mine goes more for a recharge/silence than any major MH reason, but you could check it out.

It's silent, you share a room with a complete stranger, everyone mucks in with gardening/cooking/whatever and they meditate loads.

sounds weird I know but my dh just loves the peace and quiet. You do have a one to one first to talk about anything serious, but it's absolutely the opposite of group therapy - you don't say a word!

Thanks Greyskull. He is not religious but I don't think it would bother him. Do you have a link?

X posts. These look great. Our house is complete chaos so having a bit of quiet would be excellent I think.

My DH (a clergyman who had a breakdown) went here for a week and didn't want ot come home, he wanted us to join him instead...the place is stunning and very comfortable, with huge grounds. No religious pressure.

They have a specialist program for troubled clergy but offer retreats to anyone who needs them and have a lot of experience with people who have had breakdowns.

Big question to ask is whethe he is ready to spend a lot of time on his own overthinking is a risk and not always helpful.
