Discovery
Recover vs Uncover vs Discover: “The implication of the word re-covery is to cover something over. I am interested in helping people un-cover all the programming and beliefs that keep them mired down, depressed, impoverished in mind and spirit. My image is of people casting off the blanket of [problematic beliefs and behavior] that holds them down, keeps their senses numbed, and perpetuates isolation. Thus, we start the process by un-covering our thoughts and beliefs that perpetuate [problematic behavior], and then dis-covering our true selves.” ~ Charlotte Davis Kasl, Many Roads, One Journey
