#peerzone

At the training I attended last week, we had to write a negative word that’s been used to describe ourselves and a positive way to reframe it. I overheard a nurse call me “an entitled Borderline” at the hospital. I AM entitled to dignity and respect. Yes! Being entitled also means that I am assertive, know my rights, and know how to get my needs met. Very positive things indeed. We can reclaim words and take back our power. I am an entitled person and proud of it! We are all entitled to dignity and respect no matter who we are. #recovery #peerzone #mentalhealth #bpdrecovery #focusonthegood #trauma #peersupport #knowyourrights #dignityandrespect

At a training for #peerzone Today we’re talking about good facilitation skills. Anybody else struggle with people that monopolize? I like the idea of getting people to move/dance/stretch. I often use classical music for calmness but maybe I should start incorporating dance music to get people. We talked about being comfortable with silence, which I think is so important. What are your facilitating tricks? #recovery #facilitating #publicspeaking #danceparty #mentalhealth #peersupport
