If any combination of terms describe you, this recovery-oriented counseling program is for you.
In our advanced recovery practice, our mission is to empower individuals still struggling and languishing with depressive and anxiety issues, due to medications not being enough including psychotherapy to experience the kind of recovery leading to Owning One's Life Again. We focus on the healing benefits of "Brief Recovery Work" (BRW) to facilitate recovery from the hold of the depressive and anxiety issues one is having. In a strong recovery position, the strength, grip, and influence of these mental issues lessen and diminish their hold on one's life, a very freeing experience. This powerful practice-based evidence approach to recovery complements psychotherapy and peer work, or can be used on its own as the sole means of experiencing your recovery from these issues.
In this brief taste of a BRW interview, the interviewee "K" has agreed to engage in this demonstration video using her experience with depression to initially offer her impressions on this style of practice. She chose her dog, named Petal, as a recovery driver that feeds her Soul for the better among others. In the BRW practice, the gateway to knowing one’s strengths, capacities, and sense of self is leveraged for making a recovery through the person's recovery drivers. This is how this recovery model in mental health works.
This chart outlines what it is like for an individual languishing with their mental health issues when medications are not enough. With Brief Recovery Work (BRW), the objective is to break a weak recovery cycle and migrate one over to a strong recovery cycle.
For recovery from anxiety-related issues, this advanced recovery oriented counseling practice of BRW coaches individual's to uncover their own inner healing strengths and personal resources that are lying dormant, in addition to, applying nutrition and its connection with mental health with the aim to diminish the grip, strength, and hold of this mental illness on ones life, leaving the person in a strong recovery position. The results lead towards building a stronger person-led life, a very freeing experience rather than existing in a weak recovery position of Illness living.
This refreshing and empowering practice complements mainstream approaches yet is counter intuitive to the traditional problem-solving, symptom management, resolving past issues practices in psychotherapy and the use of medications. The application of this strength-based approach reduces the individual's time spent in illness-led living, a weak recovery position, while increasing the time spent in person-led living, a strong recovery stance, which is a very freeing experience. This is how relief & healing occurs with The Practice of Brief Recovery Work (BRW).

RECOVERY FROM MENTAL DISORDERS LECTURE SEGMENT BY DR. PATRICIA DEEGAN
LIVE YOUR LIFE, NOT YOUR DIAGNOSIS
TALK BY DR. PATRICIA DEEGAN
As a therapist, I would describe this tool as innovative, practical, and accessible. It provides a concrete pathway for both service providers and clients to engage in unique conversations that elevate a person’s agency, skills, strengths, and actions in responding to the struggles associated with their mental illness (s). It demystifies the hold of the illness by gently and artfully shining light on what a person is already doing to resist the effects of these illnesses. As therapists, we are not immune to the discourses of illness-focused living, and it can be easy to unwittingly engage in conversations with clients that reinforce the idea that illness has the most control and solutions are primarily pharmaceutical. Brief Recovery Work (BRW) is a refreshing and practical reminder that often, if we look carefully enough, we can see there is much more to the picture than we think, and mental health wellness is within reach.
