Accepting setbacks as part of the recovery process is essential from "summary" of Feeling Good by David D. Burns
When you're working on recovering from depression, setbacks are inevitable. They're a normal part of the process, not a sign that you're failing. It's important to recognize this and accept setbacks as a natural part of your journey toward feeling better. When setbacks occur, it can be easy to fall into negative thinking patterns and believe that all your progress has been undone. But this isn't the case. Setbacks are just temporary roadblocks that you can overcome with time and effort.
By accepting setbacks as part of the recovery process, you can learn from them and grow stronger. They can help you identify triggers and patterns that contribute to your depression, so you can work on addressing them more effectively.
Remember that recovery is not a linear process. There will be ups and downs along the way, but each setback is an opportunity for learning and growth. By facing setbacks head-on and learning from them, you can become more resilient and better equipped to handle challenges in the future.
So the next time you experience a setback in your recovery journey, try to see it as a valuable learning experience rather than a failure. With time and persistence, you can overcome setbacks and continue moving forward toward a healthier and happier life.
