Throughout reviewing all of the modules we looked at through the class, I found many to be controversial, empowering, and eye opening. While many of the modules had profound impacts on the movement of the recovery model, one of my favorites is the concept of mind and body.
Throughout history, professionals and researchers have debated on whether the mind and body should be viewed as one, or as two separate entities. I think it can be both. I think we, as professionals, can view each mental health symptom and concern and each medical symptom and concern as independent components while viewing the person as a whole. Viewing a person as a whole allows professionals to holistically address all areas of their lives. This also allows for an outlook into a persons life and how each independent component could be contributing to another.
Lastly, if professionals chose not to view the mind and body as a whole, they could miss critical puzzle pieces into who a person truly is. In total, this movement has helped shape and further the recovery movement by providing a holistic view while working with a client who is seeking a state of recovery.
