I Had to Take Control Of My Life - A Therapist Who CrashedI was told I was to blame for my sorry state.~ Craig Lewis Craig Lewis - On imprecise treatment for depression - a therapist who crashed hard: "While I was in the deepest depths of severe medication withdrawal, I was, quite shockingly, forced out of work in my local mental health community, for accurately reporting the unethical conduct of a colleague working with vulnerable and victimized adults. Mistreatment for the subsequent depression almost completely ruined my life. This effort resulted in nearly everything and everyone I loved and cared about disappearing from my life. This event created the most devastating, lonely and hurtful period of my adult experience. I was forced to heal myself in secret without many knowing or even caring to know. I resorted to begging for basic needs, food, healthcare and to feed my cat, as I could not get any work. I was told that I was to blame for my financial challenges. However, the facts tell a very different story." His PurposeCraig is back from misdiagnosis and mistreatment and wants to share his serious reconstruction. His street-wise cognitive suggestions are helpful on multiple levels. This is a story of a man who believes in straightforward thinking, reports the truth, and who is grateful to move further into recovery. He can respond in reasonable ways to very unreasonable situations and circumstances and transforms these experiences into improved, contributory functioning in spite of his tragedies. Too often medications for depression miss the mark - especially when underlying http://corebrainjournal.com/115 (measurable biomedical) challenges can be http://corebrainjournal.com/testing (easily identified.) His Book On Recovery http://geni.us/clewis ()"This book helps those aspiring toward recovery and wellness and also those in recovery because it addresses and challenges the individual - in very real, basic and honest ways - to make significant cognitive adjustments in how they live their lives. The beauty of this workbook curriculum is that people like to do it and don't consider it a chore, a demand, or a requirement because every page subtly encourages the individual to think in realistic and forward-moving ways. This allows them to feel good about doing the work." *Photo by https://unsplash.com/photos/Yh4P5gdbXME?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText (Warren Wong) on https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText (Unsplash) -----------Websites Connection http://betterdaysinternational.net (http://betterdaysinternational.net) ----------Additional Insights on Depression and PTSD From CBJ Guestshttp://corebrainjournal.com/164 (CBJ/164) 17 Guest Experts with Testing Links for Biomedical Measures - Why Not? http://corebrainjournal.com/mindset (CBJ/Mindset) Multiple Guests Report On Reframing Perceptions for Recovery http://dhalab.com/core (Direct Health Access) - A lab we use to understand refractory depression.
