Must read

I would recommend this book to anyone who has been involved in the mental health system. As someone who here's voices this book has given me a hope that I haven't had in a long time. Thankyou Ronald Coleman

Just the best, a very influential scotsman, an honest, personal account. Honour to have heard him speak and teach on many occasions.

A look at voice dialoguing and recovery from childhood sexual abuse. Also how guilt over a loved one's death, triggered voices.
This book is part memoir, part instruction on ways to gain the life you want. How the psychiatric system doesn’t enable this, but the work of Marius Romme and Sandra Escher does.
If you’re at all angry at the psychiatric system for its treatment regime, this book has a great last chapter that puts this anger, a lot of people feel, into very effective analogy.
This is very engaging writing and the views voiced make a lot of sense.

Excellent understanding and insight for those struggling with altered states, their loved ones and workers in the field supporting recovery.
