Daniel Henderson: From Cliffside Tragedy to Beacon of Hope

When it's in my realm of scope, I have to always remember what I'm not clinical. So, to remain ethical, I always have to do like: okay, this is all my realm, but it's like medicaid, Medicare, like a case that's like, oh, his past diagnoses are major depressive disorder and he's a heroin addict, has bad anxiety. But let's say, like you're coming off the streets and I will pay for your sober living, I will pay for your therapy, I will help you out with transport, I will get you groceries, I'll do all that. My goal is not just to hey, let's help you get off your feet.
Picture this: a 200-foot fall off a cliff, a medically-induced coma, and months of recovery. That's just part of Daniel Henderson's incredible story. In this gripping episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', Daniel, a national recovery coach and speaker, opens up about his life before and after a catastrophic hiking accident. He shares how he found hope and healing amid addiction, mental health battles, and the trauma of a severe brain injury.
Despite facing immense challenges, Daniel didn't just survive; he thrived. He founded the non-profit Recover Wisely to help others on their recovery journeys. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of ethical practices in the recovery community. If you're looking for inspiration or struggling with your own battles, Daniel's journey offers a powerful reminder that hope and recovery are always within reach.
