Early in life CJ decided that what he was experiencing was a spiritual awakening and vowed never to trust the mainstream mental health system. As he got older however, he realised something needed to be brought into balance. He has worked hard to understand himself and his experiences. We are very fortunate to have people like this who are able to share their understanding after decades of exploration.
