A holistic dilemma

This morning before going to work I knocked on Chris’s door while clutching a bottle of Omega 3 in my hands. I was pleased to reinforce to him the report published in the February issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry, that patients who took fish oil capsules had fewer symptoms of psychosis and better functioning than those who took a placebo.

“But, according to Olga Kharitidi in The Master of Lucid Dreams, I’m supposed to embrace my psychotic episodes,” he objected.

Does he not get the idea or do I not get the idea? I also gave him that book. I realize there is a contradiction here, a double message.

I’m a mom walking the long road of recovery alongside my son, whose world shifted at nineteen with a schizophrenia diagnosis. This space is where I share our journey as we navigate his healing through a shamanistic lens. I offer the truths we’ve discovered, the mysteries we’re still unraveling, and a critical look at a medical system that often overlooks the spiritual depth of this "dis-ease."
