Clearly a much more humane and healing way to go! And it saves money too. It does not fill the pockets of pharma and psychiatrists though. Wow, yes, a healing refuge for the psyche with NO psychiatrists. And they work...better than hospitals. This is the wave of the future.

i have stopped my meds and always refuse to ever be hospitalized for any reason. my answers have always been to stay at home. to force meds on patience and tell them they are crazy and over-reacting. how else would you react if someone was restraining you and injecting poison into your system that is going to knock you into a stupor. i've seen my younger brother in that state. this tape talks about an alternative to that kind of treatment you would receive at an institutional facility. a place of nightmares and more like snakepits. these places mentioned in the tape would be so much more amenable to getting the right kind of treatment if you need it. my animals and s/o take care of me when i get in a bad place. i fight the demons on my own and there are special people in my life who are there. i found that out tonight from someone i really feel i can call friend. listen to this tape and hear what they have to say. it all sounds so promising.
