Recovery Devon Podcast
What does it mean to be fully human? How can recovery principles support mental health? Recovery Devon and guests open the mic to views on mental health recovery. Established in the mid-2000s, we became a community interest company in 2012. Based in the South West of England, we support recovery as both a personal vision and an underpinning value base to promote radical change in mental health attitudes and provision. Our community of goodwill includes people with lived experience of mental health issues, their supporters, and families, alongside mental health practitioners.
Recovery Devon Podcast
Podcast of Hope - Part 2 - Chronic Pain Coaching
Second Part of Recovery Devon’s Podcast with Chronic Pain Café.

The first podcast focussed more on the journeys that Julie and Sean were on leading up to starting the pain management café’s and their experiences running the cafes.

During this podcast we explore in more detail the holistic pain management techniques Julie and Sean teach in the class and what techniques they personally use.
We explore advice on how to sleep well, distraction techniques in creating drawings leading onto a gift, visits to the beach and breathing intime with the waves. We also talk about doing yoga, heat therapy, sound therapy, meditation and working on acceptance of the condition.
This was a fascinating podcast and I believe many of these techniques can be used across the board in feeling well. I personally related to the advice in sleeping well as I suffered terribly from this myself. This would have been useful to me when I was feeling unwell with panic disorder. I also liked the idea of being creative with the end goal of giving your work to somebody at the end.
We hope you enjoy this podcast.
