Hi All,
In this brief but very valuable blog post, Laura Kerr shares about how self-doubt and isolation can overtake us, but can also bring possibilities for personal and even spiritual transformation. She includes a video of me talking about extreme states.
Laura’s blog “Trauma’s Labyrinth” is a very helpful and inspiring resource!
Best wishes,
Michael

In this new article just published I directly challenge Dr. Lieberman, the former president of the American Psychiatric Association, to stop his destructive public statements aimed at silencing people who are critical of psychiatry!
