What a great program and podcast. Thank you Randye, Mimi and Mindy. And thanks to the speakers.
Thanks!
Very good podcast. Please have more on this topic of recovery in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it! You might want to check out our previous episodes of recovery, e.g. Eric Smith (episodes 15, 16, 84), rebecca’s story ( 9 and 10), Katie Sanford (28), Michelle hammer (59), Kevin earley (78), and the one on international clubhouse. Thanks!
Appreciated Mimi's realistic assessment & question. It concerned me to not hear specific strategies to deal with Anosognosia when specifically asked. Especially when some now work within the field. As a parent, it left me with that all too familiar feeling of apprehension.
Hi and yes. As you can see from earlier episodes the definition of “recovery” is a wide range. Check out our earlier show with Dr Amador for specifics on Anosognosia
Thank you so much, we love the heart the 3 of you have for this topic! Yes Dr Amador is amazing, own (and have gifted) his book. The LEAP method has been transformative to us.
For resistant illness....Metabolic Mind......Brain Energy by Dr, Chris Palmer .......Dr. Shabani Sethi at Stanford...... Baszucki Group.....Lauren at Living Well with Schizophrenia......movie First Do No Harm with Meryl Streep. All this stuff on RUclips. Gives me hope in addition to these participants' stories.
