Deeper meaning and purpose in my work
"One of the things I love about Personal Medicine is how people don't have to spend days or weeks learning or creating systems or plans to feel better; they can begin using Personal Medicine right away. This can help them feel empowered and can help open the door for more personal reflection and self discovery. Being a CPMC also adds a unique value to my role as a peer supporter because it empowers me to be a disruptive innovator in a way that empowers others. This in turn gives a much deeper meaning and purpose to my peer support work."
- John Caldwell, CPMC-T
Unconditional positive regard
"Personal Medicine has innovated my work in terms of being a better listener, supporting the other person in being reflective and feeling empowered to make choices and believe in their own efficacy and self-worth. This has also assisted me in truly becoming less judgmental about certain behaviors and more conditioned to offering unconditional positive regard to the other person."
- Jonathan Edwards, CPMC
Aha moments
"This past year we've had more people in our program of a certain age who have been taught that wellness is up to the professionals. It means everything to me to see that moment when they have realized THEY are the expert, not the doctor. It sparks countless other positive changes when someone realizes they don't have to wait for an expert to tell them what to do."
- Tracy Ciabattoni, CPMC-T
Systems transformation
"It has not only given me new language to talk about the capabilities of people but it has also helped me on my own recovery journey. Being able to use these tools myself also has helped me grow as a coach."
- Keris Myrick, CPMC
