Each team works to recognize the client\u2019s impulses toward health and support them in synchronizing with themselves through authentic relationships with the team members. This provides an antidote to isolation and loneliness while respecting each client\u2019s choices as they build their confidence and reassemble their life\u2014which can take a very long time. Each person\u2019s recovery will be their own, and it may not look like what others want for them or what society defines as a normal life. Every team is a unique healing environment, a co-creation between a client and their team members. These principles are part of what makes the Windhorse approach so unusual\u2014and the profound, long-term work that is possible in this setting. We hope what you hear leads to greater understanding and empathy. Marta Aarli ","author_name":"Windhorse Journal Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/windhorsecommunityservices.com\/journal\/","html":"
