Psychosis is often treated as a mystery, something clinicians avoid or feel unprepared to address. In this Masters in Practice episode, Dr. Aaron Brinen shares how his book Living Well with Psychosis makes this complex topic approachable for individuals, families, and therapists alike. Drawing from Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy, Dr. Brinen explains how shifting the focus from symptoms to motivation, connection, and aspirations creates powerful pathways to recovery. Whether you’re a clinician looking for practical tools, a family member supporting a loved one, or simply curious about mental health treatment, this conversation challenges myths, sparks new ways of thinking, and highlights the power of hope in the face of psychosis.
