004 -- Out of the Depths: From Opioid Addiction to Therapist

In this episode of Navigating a Broken Vessel, host Dave Harris sits down with Derek Barney, a Licensed Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor and owner of A Way Back Counseling. Derek opens up about his powerful personal journey, from battling a severe pain pill addiction and a life-altering arrest to finding healing through the support of others. Now a professional counselor, he shares his "three pillars" approach to wellness—physical, mental, and spiritual—and offers compassionate advice for those struggling with depression, ADHD, and the stigma of seeking help. The Turning Point: Derek discusses how an injury led to addiction and how a supportive therapist helped him reclaim his life. The Three Pillars: Why nourishing your physical, mental, and spiritual health is essential for alignment. Overcoming Depression: Practical first steps for those finding it hard to get out of bed, including the power of routine and "baby steps". Learn About Bowie: How Derek’s therapy dog-in-training provides emotional support and comfort to clients. A Way Back Counseling: Learn about Derek’s clinic in Washington, Utah, and their mission to provide affordable, expert therapy. Whether you are navigating your own "broken vessel" or supporting a loved one, this episode serves as a reminder that small successes are worth celebrating and that nobody has to walk the path to recovery alone.
