I am a mental health recovery coach, consultant and public speaker. My overall message is that there is hope for everyone to recover from serious debilitating mental illness.

The other side of this is being told you are crazy for telling the truth until the stress makes you crazy and it becomes the self fulfilling prophecy. The problem is that what 'crazy' means to some (psycho spiritual distess) is NOT what it means to the system now. ( a chemiistry/genetics problem without relationship to anyone's actual life problems, traumas or dysfunctional relationships.

Thank you for your comment.I agree with all your perspectives and definitions of crazy. The system is far more focused on the physiological aspects that they can treat with medication. My perspective is holistic. My recovery and those of my clients is based on bringing balance and meaning and satisfaction back into our lives. As I say in this video clip, I had to recover not only from the trauma of a dysfunctional family but trauma inflicted on me by the system.

Thanks for making this, it makes me think maybe I can deal with some of the things I am embarrassed about with some of the grace you showed when faced with the type of stuff nobody can avoid getting judged for, like getting locked up or losing custody of kids.

Love the video, I am a crazy person who works in the Mental Health system in Ontario Canada to help people like myself.

I would love to see your whole show.
