This is a mental health support group run by patients or survivors of a mental health crisis. We are not professional therapists. Our work does not replace getting professional help if you are going through a mental health crisis or if you are recovering from one. Please get professional help while you also work with us or work with the book My Recovery Work-Journal, Recovering from a Mental Health Crisis.
We are all patients and survivors, we have first hand insight into mental health crises which can be invaluable to the afflicted. We advocate destigmatizing mental health crises and to make them a part of our every day life of self-care and well being and insight. There is much to learn from a mental health crisis.
Our approach is to offer help in the form of the My Recovery Work-Journal, talks and group seminars or retreats live and online. We are loving, caring and we have a sense of humor. We believe strongly in that one can recover from a mental health crisis and come out stronger and more resilient after this deep process of individuation, pain and suffering. We strongly believe in self-care. So please be good to your mind, body, soul, heart and spirit.
This patient to patient help group is headed by Gabrielle von Bernstorff-Nahat, a 56 years old painter and writer. She strongly believes in that creativity helps us to recover from mental health issues. Everyone is born an artist, the question is how do we maintain or regain this creativity during adulthood. The approach to Recovery from a Mental Health Crisis then is one deeply indebted to creativity, whatever that may be, dreaming, writing, painting, thinking, making music, making art, or simply enjoying it. The paths are multifarious and that is beautiful.
