Highlands Recovery’s Post

Trauma-Informed Care recognizes that past trauma can deeply affect an individual’s health and behavior. It shifts the focus from "What’s wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" At Highlands, this approach guides our work, ensuring empathy, understanding, and tailored recovery paths in treating substance abuse and mental health disorders. We're committed to healing, not just treatment. #TraumaInformedCare #HighlandsHealing #MentalHealthAwareness

Breaking the stigma around therapy is vital for growth and healing. At Highlands, we understand therapy as a brave step, not a weakness. It’s time we view mental health with the same urgency as physical health. #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #HealingJourney

Normalize talking about mental health. It helps us support others, spot early signs, and get help. Let’s end the stigma and empathize. 🧠💬 #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #AwarenessIsKey

Integration and aftercare support play a crucial role in harm reduction, as life post-ceremony can be quite challenging. ⁠ .⁠ Even in "easeful" journeys, the physiological and neurological influence of psychedelics leave us sensitized and receptive. It's a critical window for enacting change and implementing generous forms of self-care. ⁠ .⁠ Whether you're a facilitator looking to expand your integration tools, an energy worker that wants to support the psychedelic movement, or a primary care physician who wants to learn more about the psychedelic world, our training is focused on creating a more networked and capable system of psychedelic support. This way, psychedelic seekers leap mindfully into the unknown with communities of educated support available on the other side. ⁠ .⁠ Sign up for our training at https://lnkd.in/g5H4hKiM⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #harmreduction #support #community #psychedelicharmreduction #psychedelichealing #psychedelicresearch #psychedelicsupport #psychedelicfield #psychedelicmovement #psychedeliceducation #psychedeliccommunity #alternativehealing #integrativetherapy #integrativecounseling #integrativementalhealth #holisticmentalhealth #mycelium #mycelial

Language, Stigma, and Mental Health: A Closer Look at why the language we use matters. This is from a blog by the Healing Narrative, a blog started by a junior A&E doctor who wants to promote a deeper understanding between people and healthcare practitioners. I'm so impressed by it I'm sharing the closing passage here: "The language we use when discussing mental health profoundly influences societal attitudes and individual experiences. By choosing our words carefully and engaging in open conversations, we can challenge stigma and create a more supportive environment for those affected, helping reshape the narrative around mental health. Let us remember that mental health is complex, and understanding it requires a compassionate approach that goes beyond labels and set definitions. What experiences have shaped your understanding of mental health? How has the language used in relation to mental health affected you? Do any parts of this article resonate with you, and are there parts you disagree with? This is an important and potentially contentious topic – diverse perspectives are therefore key, and there is no right or wrong answer." #worldmentalhealthday #merseysidecounselling #merseycharity

NEXT WEEK! Therapy in A Time of Crisis - LIVE event with Allan Frater. ‘The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appears’ (Antonio Gramsci) A client's arrival in therapy can be considered a time of crisis. Previous certainties and securities have been lost, and hope of finding a new way forward, people turn to therapy. Often this will involve a personal-historical perspective, uncovering the origin story of the current crisis in the client's biography. But what if the crisis is not all about the past? What if it is also about the current world-crises clients (and therapists) are living through - the on-going trauma of ecological anxiety, political confusion and economic distress? This workshop explores how to work with client crises by placing them within a broad collective context. Firstly, by suggesting therapy itself is in a time of crisis, transitioning away from its origins in a personal-historical framework towards a more collective and societal perspective. And secondly, on a practical level, how to better notice and work with world-issues in the consulting room alongside a personal-historical perspective. The content of the workshop is based upon the current work-in-process by author Allan Frater, with the provisional title: 'Living Between Stories: Imagination in a Time of Crisis' You can join in LIVE or purchase the recording.
