Sustaining Recovery
Lived Experience Support MBT - Relapse Prevention

#1 Change Your Response     

Focus on identifying misguided and destructive behaviours & responses to stressors linked to harmful behaviours. Alongside planning strategies to meet your emotional needs and reduce risk & impact of lapses/relapse. 

#2  Rebuild Trust 

Seek a healthy means of self-expression by adopting positive and constructive coping strategies, which in turn can assist to mend trust in relationships impacted by harmful behaviours. 

#3  New ways of Coping

Working through the process, reasons, challenges behind the harmful behaviour patterns and explore methods that assist in managing and moving forward & deconditioning past traumatic experiences where needed. 

Recognising that no single treatment path suits everyone, regardless of what the harmful behaviour is, the key to success lies in individuals finding resources tailored to their needs.

At Wellness within a Harmful behaviour also known as habit or addiction is considered as any behaviour that has taken control over how you want your life to be.  

Seeking non- judgemental specialist support, with a addition counsellor like myself will keep your recovery on track, offering knowledge & resources to address and overcome recovery challenges and exploration on ways to sustain you recovery and build resilience in your Recovery . 

Differences Between Lived experience support & Counselling :

For those participating in recovery fellowships or mutual aid support like AA , GA or Smart recovery UK, the option of selecting a sponsor is available. While sponsors and peer mentors  provide invaluable support, advice, and encouragement, there are key distinctions from My role as a recovery counsellor:

As a trained addictions counsellor and recovery coach my therapeutic practices & methods of working can provide you with a secure and evidenced based platform to learn strategies that focusses on strengthening your emotional needs and life style changes that sustain genuine recovery capital.

What separates Harmful Behaviours from a Habit :

A habit is something people may do for fun, to relax or as a way of socialising. People can choose to stop a habit, and while it may take some time, can stop successfully.

A harmful behaviour (also known as addiction), however, can be an overwhelming need or compulsion to complete the act regularly, regardless of the time or place, in order to achieve the high. In short, a habit can be controlled, while an addiction is a long term pattern of behaviour which often will be more complex to control/change.  Within my practice I will support people who wish to change and therefore habit or harmful behaviours, I'm here to help you on your road to recovery
