When we are mentally unwell, too much detail can be overwhelming. To prevent overwhelm the therapies and frameworks are kept in the background (implicit and seamless), at least initially. Recovery is a process, not an event, at least initially. Where possible the KISS principle is used (Keep It Short and Simple).
