Benefits to Patients

By participating in Recovery International self-help groups, your patients learn to:

• Manage stress, panic, anxiety, depression, anger, irrational fears, phobias, compulsions, obsessions and other emotional/behavioral problems;
• Identify and manage negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy thinking and constructive activity;
• Face, tolerate and manage functional complaints and psychosomatic symptoms such as heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, sweats, fatigue, headaches, numbness, chest pressure and sleep problems; and
• Change how they react to people and situations over which they would typically have no control.

Your patients’ practice of the Recovery International Method leads to:

• Empowerment;
• Reframing;
• Self-management;
• Empathy;
• Positive self-talk and action; and
• Unconditional positive regard.
