Question 39

What is the difference between peer support and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Peer Support and therapy are both ‘helping’ services, but that help is provided in many ways. Peer support focuses on the practical matters of daily life and is focused on recovery. Peer support is provided by people who have their own experiences of living with behavioral health conditions. Peer support may include encouragement, practical assistance, and goal setting. Peer Recovery Professionals use their lived experience to provide empathy, understanding, and role modeling to the people they support. Peer Recovery Professionals believe that each person is the expert on their own recovery. Peer Recovery Professionals are not seen as experts, nor do they provide treatment for behavioral health conditions. Rather, Peer Recovery Professionals walk alongside others in recovery and demonstrate that recovery is possible through sharing their real-life examples. Therapy is defined as the treatment of mental or psychological disorders by psychological means. Therapists are highly educated individuals who use their clinical knowledge and formal education to help individuals develop better cognitive and emotional skills, reduce symptoms of behavioral health disorders, and cope with various life changes. While therapists typically partner with clients and provide a non-judgmental space for exploring issues, due their education and expertise, there is a natural hierarchy that exists in the therapist-client relationship.

Question 40

Can I participate in peer support and therapy at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many people find that participating in both services is extremely helpful. Working with a therapist can provide needed therapeutic intervention and exploration of deep issues. Working with a Peer Recovery Professional can help you navigate daily life and the ups of downs of pursuing a wellness/Recovery lifestyle.

Question 41

How many times should I meet with a Peer Support Professional?

Accepted Answer

That is up to you. Many of the benefits of peer support come from the relationship aspect of the service. Telehealth Recovery Network recommends a commitment of at least 3 months; however, you can utilize Peer Support Services as often or as infrequent as you would like.
