Hi Daniel, Can you write me? I am seeking downloadable versions of the TRAILERS of your films. THANKS and peace, Eliza

Hello Daniel I wonder if you could read the book by Alice Miller\'s son Martin and what you think about it. It seems that as a mother she was not very sympathetic with her son, even at times when she had already written her best books. The book wasn\'t translated in English yet, I think. But maybe you understand enough German? Always following you on your way (as far as possible)! Franco

Soy Azucena, de Zaragoza, España. Estoy interesada en el sistema de recuperación de psicosis sin medicación utilizado en Noruega. Tengo un hijo de 25 años diagnosticado de varios trastornos, ahora no toma medicación, y pasa el día en su habitación, cortándose e la realidad, y yo su padre no me rendiré, y buscaré hasta hallar lo que le pueda ayudar a salir y poder vivir de otra manera. Estoy dispuesta a hacer lo que haga falta y si hay que viajar a Noruega para la recuperación no dudaría en hacerlo. La esperanza y el amor a mi hijo es mi fuerza, y mi perseverancia mi ayuda. Muchas gracias por tu atención, y espero tu respuesta.

I am working on a site about childhood trauma. I agree with you, I think.I am not pro but have been actively mending my life since I became aware at 20 years old. I am 68. Having read spirit centered books first ,to heal, I have used yoga, movement therapy, chanting, sounds like Tibetan bowls and drumming. I have used acting process to get in touch with deeper feelings. After meditating for several months I received information from that dimension also on healing. My dreams have been helpful . I want to say, you have expressed it clearly, even if I did not hear the words neuroscience or pathologies. I once told myself , humans must be educated and be required to pass a psych test before being allowed to procreate. I believe in the last 30 years I have put me squarely in opposition to society and it\'s insane political correctness when it comes to \" accepting \" behaviors of other cultures in America . Crazy to me is not acceptable. Yet daily men want me to accept violation of personal boundaries because it is considered okay now. I didn\'t vote for that. I accepted the challenge of healing myself and gave up every comfort for the authentic me. Not going back any time soon. Keep up with the videos, thank you.

Hi, I\'m really connecting to your writing/blogging. I appreciate your voice and the path you\'ve chosen. I\'m an art therapist, but I struggle with the westernized view... I don\'t think I\'m burned out, but I feel the oppressed by the poor (or greedy) management of our mental health system (North Carolina). Right as you left mental health, I entered this field. I wrote my thesis on various multicultural techniques that would guide my approach to creating a safe and artful space with clients. I don\'t know if you\'ve come across \"Ntu Psychotherapy,\" but it was a resource I\'d found helpful. Basically, from the Afrocentric view, isolating a person in a room for an individual session takes away one of the most valuable resources: community healing. Anyway, I am very glad to have found your website as a resource for motivation/inspiration. I\'m writing a small self-help book about portraiture/self-portraiture for self-reflection. I would really like to reference your writing/work (I sometimes paint portraits of other people who\'ve opened my mind in some way). \"...the mountains are as transient as the clouds,\" Charlotte

I am a student from China,also a man called mad by psychiatrists.And I am interested in the work you have done.My qestion is how do you cure the disease.And could my disease be cured in China?By the way, are you Christian?Waiting for your reply.

i wonder if you are aware of Bruce Alexander, Gabor Mate , Jerome S. Bernstein, and Stephen Levine? Your work is a prize. These men helped me immensely Bruce in particular. He became my friend. You would connect in an important way that would illuminate so much of this very difficult work we must do on trauma.

Hello, I\'m writing from Australia in regards to stopping antipsychotic medication. I am looking online for places that offer support stopping taking medication, I experience side effects everyday for 2 years on Clozapine. I\'ve been taking other antipsychotics for about 20 years. The sideffects have really hit me on Clozapine the past two years. I\'m offered no support or alternatives to medication, I\'m actually on a cocktail of mood stabilizers and anti depressants as well. . I would like to slowly stop taking medication but I am looking for some strategies before I jump into it. Do you know of any literature or advice in stopping or anyone you know of in Australia? Regards . Damien Cardamone.

I found this site when (cant remember why!) I was looking up \'Psyche\', linked to \'Bruno Bettelheim\' (discredited largely I found online), Alice MIller and now you. I just wondered if you give your name anywhere or prefer to remain anonymous? Either way it is very helpful and satisfying to read of others\' adult realisation of childhood abuse I find. I had a very violent father who drank a lot not sure if alchoholic maybe not it seems. He also was subjected to violence as a child I believe but I did not hear it from him directly. I have wanted to train a a therapist for so many many years but never have the money needed which is a lot of course over a few years. I have a degree in psychology but that is not useful without further training. I did some part time counselling courses locally years ago, and looking back, am dismayed at the superficial nature of some of the training and how many students now practice as a counsellor perhaps based on that qualification. I did a year foundation on a postgraduate psychotherapy course also (could not afford more) and saw that though better than the counselling course, it was assessed by very subjective tutors who openly preferred this or that student and openly disliked others I would like to say thsi was part of the training but it was not it was just horrible unchecked bias. The course was peopled with around a dozen wealthy postgrads many of whom just saw becoming a therapist as a way of earning a decent income for themselves when their options were limited it seems. I did learn from the course in other ways I hope. Now all I need is to start doing a lottery so I can pay for the training I would .like to do . Probably thsi is not what you were looking for from people signing your guestbook so sorry! Therapy and therapy training is for the main part for the wealthy here in the UK it seems. At least thousands of people could potentially benefit from therapy but never get to because they cannot afford it and our healthcare system rarely gives access to it. When it is available the wait can be a year or more for six sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and that is all. I myself cannot afford therapy and I would love to be able to to. I will read more of your site. Best Wishes Nora

I agree that man is more than an animal. My bipolar disease causes me to act like an animal. This hurts me deeply. Some thoughts I have are: The ability to self reflect is a gift. I causes me to reach beyond my grasp and to want more for myself and for others. Not Physical wants but connectedness. To desire to increase their desire to learn and not besatisfied with dy to day media and what is spoon fed to them from others. I have had three major episodes. I am currently medicated on Lithium BID and 1/2 trazadone when neede at bedtime. Thankfully not often. I am 65 and believe in neurogenisis. It is my hope that people can come to realise that to accept lies told to them in childhood are not the values they can live with today. To understand the possible reasons behind the dysfunctional toic environment is to realise it was not on purpose. I helps dissolve the hate and anger. Forgiveness is key. I found you cnnot forgive yourself untill you forgive others. Your brain wont let go of it. i also believe it is not totaly unlike Post Traumatic Brain Injury the way in which my first depression occurred. I give you permission to quote, paraphrse or use what I have said to help others. Feel free to email me. Sincerely, Janet Linda

Dear Daniel , I found you while looking for Alice Miller one week ago. Downloaded your first book on Kindle ( not available as book on Amazon) and read it, watched your film on Schicophrenia, read the interview of Martin Miller (whose book I will buy) and also your long version about A.M. writings,which I read many years ago. In short your discovery has provided excitement and joy for me, thanks for existing in our pretty screwed-up world. The ongoing rise of autistic and/or medicated kids shows clearly that our so called civilisation got it all very wrong. Courage is needed to speak up,and you did and do .Talking of abuse, it starts in the mothers womb by \"scanning\" followed by \"programmed date\" of delivery too often via cesarian section, followed by \"fomula-feeding\"vaccinatio to undermine the immature immunsystem and early \"care-centers\" topped by \"pre-schooling and/or hours of overwhelming TV ! All this done with \"the best intentions\"and \"scientifically explained\". I am born 1940 on a mountain called \"Change\" (Wechsel) worked as a Travel Agent for inner Space, and tracking myself consistantly to trust my very own gutfeeling/intuition ,my reason for writing this letter. Be well, greetings from Dhanya

Hi Daniel, I just discovered you and listened to your talks for about 3 hours. WoW!!! So inspiring, thank you. I worked as a body-centered therapist, without an official licence for 20 years. In The Netherlands, where I\'m from, that was possible. I do have a degree from artschool, I am an artist and a dancer. That makes sense to you, I think. Ok, although I agree with you on many aspects, I also think it\'s important to have theoretical knowledge. Like: Alice Miller, Yrvin Yalom e.o. I studied, by myself and did \'the inner work\', through reading and workshops. One way of working with people I love is \"Hakomi, body-centered psychotherapy\" founded by Ron Kurtz. I recognise a lot in what you\'re saying in what I learned from him. Especialy: the abbility from the client to heal him- or herself, the healing relationship, and to be able as a therapist to be in a state of loving presence. Do you know \"Hakomi\"? And I wonderd, listening to you, did you, yourself, do any bodywork? I met so many people I worked with who had therapy for a long time, but only talking and in the end that was not enough. What they needed and wanted, although it was very unusual,to work with their body; start breathing, moving like they wanted to, permission to be angry and kick some pillows, touching, etc. I realy would like to know your point of view on this. Greatings, Saskia
