Hello,
It is a pleasure to offer you this website as part of your coping journey to recovery. Bloom in Wellness provides a unique experience and with effective use, it can help you to navigate your way through this challenging time, with hope and perseverance, and with confidence in your healing. This user guide gives suggestions and will hopefully make the site easier to navigate. You can browse the site during the day and visit the sections linked below. Here are some ideas for you…
Daily Routine
One of the best ways to use the website, is to incorporate aspects of it into the structure of your day. For example, you can start each day by doing one of the Meditations and by choosing a gentle reminder, and Daily Dose message. You can commit to repeating the Daily Dose message intermittently throughout the day, as a neuroplasticity exercise.
About Your Withdrawal
If you are looking for content about withdrawal, the Withdrawal Help section is where you will find a wealth of information.
You can learn more about symptoms and coping in our Symptoms Room, where you can listen to audio recordings describing symptoms and how best to cope with them, read our A to Z of Symptoms, important Tendencies to Change, clips of Q and A’s, the most Frequently Asked Questions and more.
Coping and Self-Care
You will find a substantial offering of ideas for coping and techniques to try as part of your daily nurturing practice in our Coping Tools section.
Protracted/PAWS (Post-acute Withdrawal Syndrome)
If you have been off all meds for an extended period of time – beyond the anticipated or hoped for timeframe, the Protracted section has useful information and guidance for coping.
Caregivers
If you would like to share information with someone supporting you or you are a family member, friend or caregiver, please use the Caregiving section to learn more about avoiding burnout and how best to be supportive.
Reassurance Room
If you are in need of extra doses of hope, our Reassurance Room has information to spur you on.
Comfort & Hope
If at night you find it difficult to sleep, you can listen to our five-hour ‘Comfort and Hope’ guided reflection. The feedback is that it is as it’s titled… it gives comfort and hope, and those who sleep at night enjoy listening to it during the day.
Be Informed
If you have been told you won’t heal “unless….” or you have been misinformed in some way, this Be Informed section uses 17 plus years of anecdotal evidence to help you to regain perspective and to get back on track, with a focus on your healing.
Success Stories, Narratives, and Interviews
Sometimes hearing how others before you coped and healed can be encouraging. These success stories, narratives and interviews will remind you that as difficult as things are now, the outcome is wonderful and in time, recovery will be a reality for you.
Webinars
Our library of webinars and webinar clips has a vast selection of presentations on just about every topic related to withdrawal. These have proven to be a lifeline to our members and some even use them to fall asleep.
Community
If you are a Premium Plus member, you can enjoy hanging out with other members and with me at our Hope and Healing Circle – a wonderful group where we share all things feel-good, funny, and precious, and nurture ourselves.
Spiritual Sustenance
Our Faith Section provides you with songs, prayers, mantras, and chants that will help to uplift you and give you spiritual sustenance, if you have a faith or belief.
I do hope that at least some of what is offered here will help.
Sending you much compassion,
