thsnk you for sharing. i too have a lot of anger. i tell people all the time that the 'treatment' i received under the mental health care system made the incest i endured as a child seem like a picnic. i was drugged into a stupor for decades (1200 mg of forced Seroquel). i had heart attacks and obesity and bladder issues and numerous bouts of hyponatremia. they did not care i was literally dying. when my psychiatrist lost her license i fled psychiatry altogether. it gook nearly 10 years to taper all the mega doses of drugs i was in but I finally succeeded. this June will be 2 years free of all psych drugs since i was a teenager and i am now in my mid 60's. i am so thankful i am drug free and my brain is waking up. thank you again for your story. I am a late bloomer but thankful i found the psychiatric survivor community. ❤

This was excellent, especially the part about not talking about what caused it...

Very few therapists are as kind and affirming as this man. (Soteria should be the norm.)

God bless you 🙏 In 2025 , no exist ,, mental illnes "!

It’s bio psycho social It’s spread by social contagion people are being harmed.

4:20. The higher the dose the higher the risk of cardiac arrest. But that’s not to say in acute situations you should not take them. Certainly don’t take them when you’re over 65.

30:35 I had been calling it "ontological security" I'm glad someone else has had a similar concept 😆

"Its a way of thinking" is what I always had thought too. It isn't an absence of "sense" or reason, but a certain type of reasoning being applied to daily life. But when there are two or even more conflicting ways of thinking being applied to reality, this creates doubt and stress to wonder- Which is the correct reasoning to apply to the situation?

My adult son does not want to see anyone let alone a therapist. We are unable to have a conversation with him other than simple questions that only require a yes or no answer. He isolates in his room most of the day. He has days where he struggles with the voices and other days that are quiet. We just give him space and care but we don’t know what else to do for him. He’s been with us 3 years now after many years of homelessness. I see small amounts of improvement but I wish we could get some kind of peer support for him.

Wow! Beautiful presentation! I love this. I seen the movie crazy wise & have been trying to get help with my life for years now. I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia in November 2018. I recently had a consultation with a Sangoma from South Africa back in Aug 2024. If it wasn’t for me reaching out for help from the Sangoma at that time, I would’ve been still experiencing nightmares every night, extreme anxiety and depression, most of all hopelessness for my future because I felt stuck. I couldn’t even keep a job long enough without issues and I was forced to believe that I need western antipsychotics to help me. I was told that I have an ancestral calling by another sangoma and an ancestor that came through one of my meditations. I have been working on myself diligently everyday to connect with my ancestors and higher self. I’m so glad I found this Sangoma that speaking in the video again. And I even found her website. I’m going to get in contact with her soon as my ancestors and higher self approve! Ase! Thank you!

Loved this presentation. Great to see Sascha and Jacks flying the flannel as well!

People with psychosis deserve better treatments. These are mitochondrial disorders. Unintentional “brain receeding” “withdrawel” disorders. These people are often loathed, mistrusted and called liars. People deserve restorative treatments…enough with the talk therapy at some point. People need real treatments where there has been a dearth of.

Thanks for this fantastic talk, I wish mainstream education did include talks like this one.

thanks, that was awesome!

I have lost my daughter to all this. She is in a spiritual psychosis. Its consumed her entire life. She can't work, take care of her kids, or home. She is just obsessive about anything spiritual. She is searching for a way out of whatever has consumed her. She is being pulled further and further away. There seems to be no way to help her now. Im convinced she is schizophrenic on some level, but she claims she is not. It's very frustrating to not be able to help her or calm her. We as a family can't listen to the nonsensical rambling everyday. We love her and im obviously digging to deep to find answers. She even has the burping. What can i do to help her or get her back?

Champion!

Incredibly high quality and educational! Thanks very much!

While I appreciate the psychoanalytic take and the interest in understanding these disorders and your compassion, people need better treatments. These conditions absolutely ruin and obliterate peoples lives and there’s nothing pleasant or really all that interesting about them. These are mitochondrial disorders at their core. People need restorative whole body mitochondrial treatments and there are NO good treatments to be found period. These Industries need a complete overhaul and revolution, not more “studying” “staring at” and being “perplexed” by the complications of these issues

Thank you for this amazing program. I am 61, and it's been 6 months since my first, and hopefully only psychosis. It was truly hell on earth! I must say that all your observations are very accurate in my opinion. There is a transformative opportunity buried in psychosis. It seems now that it was necessary and only option available to the psyche. As it brought me close to the death's door, it also saved my life and gave it a new purpose.

I see the interviewer with his Tardive Dyskinisia. I just have it in my lower lip. I have that in my other muscles. I had to stop watching, because it's just so devastating.

Appalachian Psychoanalytic Society welcomes you once again for your forthcoming conference visit this Saturday, November 23.

So Shadow Work and perhaps Active Imagination too, could be useful for psychosis, I feel. I've had psychosis for years now, and Shadow Work did greatly help my condition. The voices always told me bad, monotonous things, and I always believed them in a way. But, when I started to shift my inner belief of the words of the psychosis voice, the voice immediately started to turn to a more... constructive, one. I don't know if what I did could be called Shadow Work. I've heard of a "manifestation method of three phases", where you first have a "thesis" or "hero", then "antithesis" or "villain", and finally "synthesis" or "peace between the two". I think this manifestation method can be very useful for us who have psychosis. It reminds me of Robert Johnson's way of doing Active Imagination" or "Dream Work". And yes, as a person who has had psychosis diagnosis for years, I too feel that chemical medicine pills and injections are NOT the answer. They only put a veil or a mask between you and your "symptoms", nothing else. This has been my experience of taking these chemicals, things they call "medicine". I rather not call them that though, for reasons stated here. The things a psychotic or schizophrenic person senses, are called "delusions" or oerhaps "mirages", by mental health professionals. But I never saw them as that. They are to me as real as any other sense, there's no difference. And it's very unscientific to think that "they just come from nowhere, they have no reason to exist". There's always a root cause, always a reason.

My observation is that Martin Luther King had the most insightful perspective on schizophrenia. He said everyone battles internally with good and evil impulses in their endeavours. To me this characterises the condition. Jung’s self archetype is an empowering concept to grasp as well. Hallucinations represent unconscious thoughts which need to be integrated to become conscious. Jung didn’t preach about religion, however Galatians 5 lists preoccupations which deprive us of the kingdom of god (eg peace and joy). Issues like idolatry, enmity, anger, lust are all distractions which in a Jungian sense reject the self archetype I find. By abiding in the neurosis/hallucinations of these kinds of distractions it is possible to become immune to the temptation of these pastimes and get back to the more important preoccupation of living for family. If I could add to Dr Kings analysis it would be that the condition is about rejecting evil and living for family. All symptoms help us realise this.

What is the role of micronutrients during psychosis and schizophrenia?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Where's the diagram?

Don’t be so dismissive of DID… By the way it’s ’Dissociative’ Not DissAsociative.

This is truly rich information to digest. If only this wisdom was taught in modern day western society in mental health training.

Great resource! Thank you

Excellent presentation! Thank you for sharing it 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for making this a public resource it's great!

Thank you so much for this talk! @GogoEkhayaEsima, all the work you've done and are doing is so so critical and necessary for our times.

What is the name of the psychiatrists? Lan? Lang?

This is helping me understand me so much more. 😊❤thank you

Wow

If the psychosis hits the pineal gland we have a chrsit consciousness. ( Awaken mind, crown chakra ) Awakening of the Hours eye .

The best explanation. Thank u

❤

This whole video was amazing. Thank you for sharing this with the public 💓

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you <3

9 minutes in. So, a few observations, /comments / questions that you won't answer. 1) there's no such thing as schizophrenia yet you continue to perpetuate the myth that there is . 2) why are these drugs also called hypnotics, and why would you give every in patient zopiclone, which is apparently well known to produce somnolence, and somnabulism even if anything the patient already slept too much. In short, you might for example give somebody 4 hypnotics at the same time. You won't explain of course, as clearly we're not worthy of being given this knowledge. Video finished, final comment, how can your surveys / studies / whatever you call them ..be accurate...when you consider, that it would seem fair to say, that to give your self the best chance of a good outcome, is to have bugger all to do with a shrink or dr

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing this.

ill just make it worse

This is a man that’s on another level of thinking and understanding of mental illness and very innovative

A therapist with heart😮

Psychosis will never be understood in a mechanistic paradigm. Only once people acknowledge that all beliefs at there core hold paradoxical and irrational belief will it become obvious that psychosis is the ground floor we all walk a tight rope over.

This is a great video, thank you.
