Mental health challenges have become popularly assumed to be mental disorders/diseases of the mind that are incurable. As has addiction.
This is not the perspective or approach of RE:set Recovery.
RE focuses on the cause of the problem, and not just the symptoms, in order to heal the individual and eliminate the symptoms in full.
By pinpointing & understanding what is creating these "reactions" in an individual, and addressing them directly, the symptoms of anxiety & depression and the triggers of addiction are minimized or even eradicated in full.
This is not a new approach but, rather, a respectful revisiting of the work of some great forerunners in the field of psychology whose work seems to have been largely forgotten.
RE combines this earlier approach of a more holistic and rational perspective on mental health & addiction with current, modern therapies, alternative perspectives and action based skills that are intended to encourage the individual to find authentic personal freedom through a fully integrated understanding of themselves.

"I'm not critical of the people who do psychotherapy. The therapists in the trenches have to face an awful lot of the social, political, and economic failures of capitalism.
They have to take care of all the rejects and failures. They are sincere and work hard with very little credit, and the HMOs and the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are trying to wipe them out. So certainly I am not attacking them.
I am attacking the theories of psychotherapy. You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam; you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy.
It makes every problem a subjective, inner problem. And that's not where the problems come from. They come from the environment, the cities, the economy, the racism. They come from architecture, school systems, capitalism, exploitation. They come from many places that psychotherapy does not address.
Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. What I'm trying to say is that, if a kid is having trouble or is discouraged, the problem is not just inside the kid; it's also in the system, the society."
