Rewrite the Story of Psychosis with Hope with guest Dr. Aaron Brinen, Psy.D.

This episode was timed the week of Dr. Aaron Brinen's new book, Living Well with Psychosis.  One of the lines I liked in his book is "in order to talk about Living Well, we have to talk about living," and, we do! From developing goals and aspirations to supporting and encouraging the family, and discussing how to incorporate activity, and plenty of it, we cover some key elements of treating psychosis in addition to discussion about how to support some of the specific obstacles that our clients living with psychosis may be facing.  We talk about the development of the Recovery-Oriented Cognitive model in collaboration with Aaron T. Beck, the father of cognitive psychology.If authoring books is in your future, we also get some unexpected gems about the process and considerations of writing!Dr. Brinen's supportive and optimistic attitude as well as his mention of the need to advocate for our clients dealing with psychosis make this a hopeful informative listen, and I think you'll find some takeaways to consider whether you are new to this treatment population or have been treating psychosis for decades. To access a copy of Living Well with PsychosisTo access the activity tracker we discussed in the episodeIf you're interested in learning more about CT-RContinuing Education: Many episodes offer a free CEU for licensure in Arizona through the Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
