Recovery stories

READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE PROGRESS IN TAKING
CHARGE OF THEIR OWN LIFE AND BECOME ACTIVE IN PURSUIT OF RECOVERY MAY BE OF HELP TO YOU TOO.

Writing your own story can be very beneficial for your health and put you on a recovery route, although it would be misleading to say you can expect a cure. Some people do of course have a psychosis precipitated by a life event, some kind of trauma, from which they may make a complete recovery.

Working through those early traumas – gently – by writing about them can help see things in a better perspective.
