During one of the first episodes of this podcast, “Recovery Defined,” I gave a quick overview of the 5 Stages of Recovery as they had been taught to me during my training to become Certified Peer Specialist in December 2014. Over the course of the next 3 months we are going to break it down a little further and focus on one stage at a time. It will be a combination of the information I received but also what I’ve learned over the last few years through lived experience.
In this episode, Pastor Larry and I will explore the first stage, “Impact of Illness” and discuss how often it can feel like you have lost your identity when faced with the obstacles of life. Whether it be the diagnosis of a mental illness, a debilitating injury, or any other major life event that can change how you view your life.
