Recovery Devon

Recovery Devon's "Phoenix Nights" host an online talk and Q & A by Dr Nathan Babcock: "Without Prejudice: Healing through Authenticity"

<h3>What does it mean to be fully human in today&#x27;s world? </h3>Recovery Devon invites you to our &quot;Phoenix Nights&quot; series of talks by notable people working in mental health recovery.This month, Dr Nathan Babcock offers &quot;Without Prejudice: Healing through Authenticity.&quot; A research scientist with specialization in quantum physics and molecular biology, Dr Babcock completed his education in Ontario and Alberta, before taking up postdoctoral appointments in British Columbia and Southwest England. Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the wake of deaths of family and friends, his talk combines research with lived experience. Addressing the question, &quot;Who are we to judge?&quot; Dr Babcock combines traditional wisdom with insight drawn from modern research to show that blameful assessments are unhealthy because they are untrue. Assigning blame allows us to express dissatisfaction without admitting vulnerability, but this strategy comes at a cost: Over time, we come to believe our own &quot;legal fictions.&quot; This puts us at risk of failing to acknowledge the very need we seek to fulfil while alienating the people whose help we need most. In this online talk, participants are invited to adopt the idea that there is no one at fault and none to blame, proposing instead that we live in a world of collective challenges and possibilities to discover, love, and embrace.Your presence, questions, and feedback are welcomed.<h3>About Recovery Devon</h3>We believe that with the right support and help people with mental health issues can and do recover and live meaningful and purposeful lives of their own choosing. Since 2003 we have actively promoted this idea and sought to put recovery and wellbeing at the heart of mental health provision.
