Yesterday (Wednesday) with the TOWER men at the Hamilton County Jail, we watched a podcast featuring Thais Gibson. She holds a Ph.D. and is trained in multiple modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, NLP, somatic processing, and trauma work. Her research, lived experience, and compassionate approach led to the development of the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™.

The episode from Mel Robbins focused on attachment theory—breaking down the different attachment styles while also offering practical tools to begin healing.

The men were really engaged with the content. They requested an assessment to better understand their own attachment styles.

Knowledge like this allows the door to open for self-awareness, growth, and change

Today was our last group for the men and women at HendricksCounty Jail that were in a certain block. There wasn't enough time. Every week the hour for each group went by quick.

We did surveys today then we played the respond and react activity. We put different scenarios in the middle of the table and we took turns picking then saying our unhealthy and healthy response.

Here is some of the feedback we received on the surveys:

What was the most helpful part of group?
"Being able to freely talk about situations and the understanding."
"Learning everyone recovers at their own pace."
"Knowing I'm not alone and have options."
"Getting feedback"

What could make the group better?
"Longer sessions/more sessions"
"More activities from every day life situations"
"Longer sessions"

Feedback for the facilitator.
"Explain the packets/how to use and explain coping skills"
"Kept emotions at a low while letting everyone share and open up"
"Listened and empathized"
"Preparedness" could be improved
"Just extending the amount of classes" could be improved

What is one thing you learned from this group?
"How to cope and learn"
"Its ok not to be ok. Techniques for stress relief"
"How to use coping skills"
"Recovery can not be rushed"
"Breathing techniques"

Has this group changed how you see yourself? If yes, how?
"Yes, I have a more positive outlook on my future"
"Yes, even when i feel like I'm getting nowhere I'm further than I was."
"Open my eyes to see my mistakes"
"Yes I can change"

Additional comments.
"I want to thank you for taking the time to help me better understand some things that I didn't in the beginning."
"I'm so thankful for your time you take with us. You have definitely made a positive impact in my life."

Some of the people changed from week to week. We still found it to be an impactful group.

In today’s Hamilton County Jail group with the TOWER men, we worked through thinking errors then real‑life scenarios and talked about the difference between reacting in unhealthy ways and responding in healthier ones.

Our favorite part of the day was hearing the laughter from the men when we were doing the respond and react activity. One of the men brought to life the scenarios by helping us act them out.
