Recovery
Recovery is a process. Not a place. It is about recovering what was lost; rights, roles, responsibilities, decisions, potential and support. It is not about symptom elimination but about what an individual wants, how they can get there and how others can help/support them to get there. It is about rekindling hope for a productive present and a rewarding future – and believing one deserves it. Recovery involves people having a personal vision of the life they want to live, seeing and changing patterns, discovering symptoms can be managed and doing it, finding new ways and reasons, doing more of what works and less of what doesn’t. Recovery is about reclaiming the roles of a “healthy” person, rather than a “sick” person. Recovery is about getting there.
