Denise, keep up the good work. I was going to Meadows but now will NOT! So typical -- dysfunctional people getting on power trips and claiming altruism. Very similar to AA 12 steppers w/ no brains. And all these knucklehead comments who support Pia are testament to the fact that people seeking help should RUN away, not walk, from this facility. The depositions also attest to their self preserving, dysfunctional, UNHEALTHY narcissism that drives the facility. RUN RUN RUN!!!!

I have had two relatives end there own lives it is sad and it hurts it will always hurt. I am truly saddened by anyone’s choice to end their life and your loss.
It seems to be a natural instinct to try and find someone to blame.
The facts are your brother is the only one to blame for choosing a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
@jeffdtre I am sorry for your loss of two relatives. I lost several young family member in alcohol related accidents & the whole family drifted apart because of alcohol and co-dependency issues that set -in deeper after the deaths. So I know the pain. And yes, anger and blame are huge in the grief process. I will say however that no one is to "blame," not even the one who chooses to end his life. All of us are responsible; the family and social structure is not set up to help those in deep pain
My brother was allowed to end his life while under the care of a hospital for which Ms. Mellody takes credit. NO, I am not envious of Ms. Mellody. I DO hold degrees (undergraduate and graduate) and would never consider myself an authority on anything. Clearly, she does. Unfortunately for mental health facilities that do not adequately protect their patients, I'm just getting started. I suggest you visit my web site.
Pia Mellody is wise, loving and honest. Regretfully, you cannot institutionalize these virtues. We need more parents, teachers and friends who don't lack the motivation to become more loving. Blaming is not the answer. Love is. It's as simple as that.
I am sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope that the Meadows has made some changes to their policies dictating better protocols for suicidal patients. I am now a psychiatric nurse and a former Meadows patient. I can say that going thru Meadows was good experience. I have been sober from sex addiction for 11 years, 6 months. I deal with patients in various stages of recovery.. Pia Mellody' s work on codependence is incomparable. I use alot of it for groups and in my own life.
It's the perspective of many people. Cancer? I'd much rather go to someone experienced & live, than die with someone who only has a piece of paper. I don't need to ask anyone what my opinion is.
"Beat Her Addictions"?!, it's recoveriING, not recoverED.
I have met pompous ass 'therapists' like you..
It's clear you are jealous of Pia. & that you only want input when it's positive, I see you disabled the ratings. Now you can disable the comments.
If this is your perspective, which I respect as your own, then I guess this would apply to cancer survivors, too? So, if one has cancer, let a survivor diagnose it for you and come up with a treatment plan? I guess education and credentials don't mean anything, do they? You may want to ask some legitimate therapists/psychiatrists how they feel about your perspective. One's who HAVE studied and know what they're talking about. Also, I wonder if Pia has beat her addictions?
I find some of these posts to be ridiculous and even comical. Apparently, my videos and web site have hit a nerve with some of you. That is precisely my point. A negative reaction is still a reaction and indicates that I'm making my points loud and clear. Thank you for viewing my videos. It's just one more person who is now accurately informed.
Maybe if the creator of this video learned how to spell correctly, I would have given this a second look. As it is, shut your damn mouth about Pia Mellody. It's not her fault you're all bent out of shape about your life.
It's a shame you're so hostile. My website and videos are factual. If they weren't, I'm sure The Meadows and Ms. Mellody would have made me pull them by now. Do not judge my life. My Mission serves a VERY important purpose, it's just not your's nor, apparently, something to which you can relate. And, by the way, what did I spell incorrectly?
Thank you for expressing your opinion. The facts speak for themselves. I suggest you visit my web site and peruse what is there, then make your decision based on both sides of the coin. Had YOU entrusted any hospital with the safety of your loved one, you would expect....and deserve....the preservation of AT LEAST their safety. Again, I'm sorry you feel these videos are misguided. They are factual otherwise I'm certain Ms. Mellody would see that I have them pulled.
These videos are so misguided. I know nothing of those who committed suicide at these facilities, but I do know many of the people maligned here, and it breaks my heart to see this person take out their pain and rage at the loss of their loved one at some profoundly wonderful people, people like Pia Mellody who developed her treatments in such a way because no one in the helping field knew what the heck to do with people suffering from codependency. Read her work and judge for yourself.
Reading what is written in Pia's book(s), and what is practiced at the meadows are two different thngs. Easy to write perhaps, though apparantly impossible to effectively place into action. My opinion, based on time spent, (POORLY and DANGEROUSLY), at the meadows. STAY AWAY FROM THE MEADOWS AND ALL ASSOCIATED WITH IT. *In my opinion, and many others. Be very careful, your life could depend on it...
I am SO GLAD I went to the Meadows...
All therapy was at some point an experiment...
My father committed suicide, too; I do not blame anyone but him.

Yes!, Excellent point!! Just because someone has degrees does Not make them worth listening to, Pia Shines above the rest!
Why waste time on therapists who haven't taken there own inventories.
So many barely have any books smarts, and zero life experience.
Pia is the guru of love addiction recovery!
