What if, instead of reaching backward to "recover" in the traditional sense, to a prior state of health, individuals with psychiatric diagnoses reached forward to procover, to focus on life instead of illness, to build new dreams and find new purpose? What if those who support and treat these individuals were able to easily create and support this change? In The Power of Procovery in Healing Mental Illness, Kathleen Crowley--author of the powerful first person account of healing, The Day Room, A Memoir of Madness and Mending--shows that a simple shift in focus can initiate a transformative cycle of healing. This book tells you how and why. It is complete with extensive procovery notes for consumers, family and staff. You don't have to start The Power of Procovery at the beginning; just start anywhere. You'll soon discover that procovery is within anyone's grasp. It's a path to healing built upon hope.

Healing the Mind through the Power of Story available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Psychiatry that recognizes the essential role of community in creating a new story of mental health • Provides a critique of conventional psychiatry and a look at what mental health care could be • Includes stories used in the author’s healing practice that draw from traditional cultures around the world Conventional psychiatry is not working. The pharmaceutical industry promises it has cures for everything that ails us, yet a recent study on antidepressants showed there is no difference of success in prescribed pharmaceuticals from placebos when all FDA-reported trials are considered instead of just the trials published in journals. Up to 80 percent of patients with bipolar depression remain symptomatic despite conventional treatment, and 10 to 20 percent of these patients commit suicide. In Healing the Mind through the Power of Story, Dr. Mehl-Madrona shows what mental health care could be. He explains that within a narrative psychiatry model of mental illness, people are not defective, requiring drugs to “fix” them. What needs “fixing” is the ineffective stories they have internalized and succumbed to about how they should live in the world. Drawing on traditional stories from cultures around the world, Dr. Mehl-Madrona helps his patients re-story their lives. He shows how this innovative approach is actually more compatible with what we are learning about the biology of the brain and genetics than the conventional model of psychiatry. Drawing on wisdom both ancient and new, he demonstrates the power and success of narrative psychiatry to bring forth change and lasting transformation.

Identify negative patterns related to the past that harm you and your relationships. Develop positive patterns that are relevant in the moment. Transform negative emotional pain into positive growth. Recognize vulnerabilities as strengths. Establish mindful awareness to continue forward growth and thinking. Find focus, meaning, and purpose through personal energy. Develop intuitive thinking that is your authentic self. Understand your connection to yourself and others.

I created lecture content for clients who did not do well with traditional forms of substance abuse treatment based on non-duality spirituality. This book combines psychological principles with universal laws of energy to create the change you desire within your life.
