it was amazing

“Expand. To activate the mind of the thing so that it can function at top peak.” (200)
Again, I love educating myself with psychology and mental illness/health. This book has been intriguingly rational and thought-provoking, as well as informational. I’m curious to know where “Barbara” is at now— and I wish her the best. Thanks for sharing this inside look with us.

I love educating myself about mental health and mental illnesses. This book/woman is already so intriguing as a “window” to see what’s it like in this other type of world/mind."
