Sunrise Residential Treatment Center and Boarding School for Troubled Teen Girls

Internal Locus of Control


We strive to help each of our students understand that she has an internal locus of control and that she has the power to make the positive changes that are needed in her life. We encourage and support our students and families to help facilitate those changes. We strive to use life experiences and mistakes of the past as therapeutic learning experiences.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
-M. Scott Peck
